Shelf Control is a weekly celebration of the unread books on our shelves sponsored by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies. Pick a book you own but haven’t read, write a post about it (suggestions: include what it’s about, why you want to read it, and when you got it), and link up!
Want to join in? Shelf Control posts go up every Wednesday. Here's how to jump on board:
- Write a blog post about a book that you own that you haven’t read yet.
- Add your link in the comments!
- Link back to Bookshelf Fantasies in your own post.
- Check out other posts, and…
I love remembering the books I've bought and why I bought them. That's why this is such a great meme.
BLURB: In this book, Rosalie Rymarski guides you through dozens of letters from the Nahum Daniels Day family correspondence circa 1857-1872. It is an innovative experience of what is happening on the home front during the Civil War. She accompanies the letters with citations of what is happening in history, during the Civil War, making the time period much more realistic. Discovery in the Attic: A Family's Shared Past Revealed is a smooth read, even if you don't prefer historical literature, because of the relatability developed within the family's dynamic. This book commemorates the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War in a distinctively unique way!
DATE BOUGHT: 4/29/17
WHY I BOUGHT IT: I participated in an authors fair at our local library and this author was there, too. We each had a chance to present about our work. Her presentation sounded fascinating, and I love reading anything about the Civil War, so I picked up a copy.
I have skimmed through it, but haven't read it yet. I need to do that this year.
