Musing from a Leather Chair Book Sale!

Hello everyone! It is nice to be back here in the leather chair, musing about my next summer at The Bread Loaf School of English. As most of you know, my summers in Vermont are what I look forward to the most every year, and after 2014's dynamite performance, I'm more eager than ever.

This brings me to today's post. In an incredibly ironic move reminiscent of The Gift of the Magi (because hey, it's almost Christmas, right?) I am selling off a portion of my personal library to raise funds for this summer's tuition. There is a ton of historical fiction, a smattering of fantasy and some embarrassing glimpses into my teen age years, along with other random goodies. Please take a look at the list below and consider picking out a few books as holiday gifts, to yourself or others or simply a nice addition to your bookshelves anytime of the year! Orders can be placed by emailing me at hallie.m.woods@gmail.com. I'm willing to negotiate on price.
