Friday Finds is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. The premise of this exercise is to post about books you found this week to add to your TBR list.
I was reading a blog that I frequent, Brandon's Notepad, and the author was writing about "The Christmas Candle" by Max Lucado. I decided, on the strength of the blog post, to read the book so I downloaded the book to my nook immediately and began reading it. It isn't a long book so I am sure it won't take long to read it and I am already hooked.
While doing some genealogy research recently I happened across a library card catalog card on Ancestry.com that made reference to a book in which one of my ancestors was mentioned. It is actually a compilation of books of papers involving the Indians in Texas. The title of the collection of books is "The Indian Papers of Texas and the Southeast". I did a little research and found these books available on Amazon for the tidy sum of about $85. I am still thinking if I want to purchase these books or see if the library has them but, at any rate, I would like to read them and they are on my TBR list.

Wow expensive book but I bet the content is fascinating. I dabble in genealogy too so I can understand the pull these papers must have for you.
yes, I have been going back and forth but think it would be a great addition to my library
