My last stop of my little mini WV vacation was to a bookstore where I couldn‘t help but scoop up a few Appalachian books that were on my TBR ⛰

Reading my birthday present from my in-laws while at my new job as a historical interpreter. Felt appropriate. Or closer to appropriate than Harry Potter.

Used bookstore finds from yesterday. I *hate* stickers on book covers, but it's hard to argue with trade credit options.

Is Foxfire a thing outside of southern Appalachia? Not sure. But these books are basically collections of traditions, folk lore, and practical knowledge from country and mountain folk in Appalachia. It's thorough and intimate and not at all other-ing.

The key to the charm of these stories is that the people interviewed (or remembered in some cases) didn't/don't think of themselves as extraordinary. They were just living their lives, which is so different from the staged "fame" we see today on social media. Plus, there are some plain interesting stories. for example, who knew that NASCAR had it roots in the early days of running moonshine?

MamaGina This series started as a class project at my high school alma mater - Rabun Gap Nacoochee School located in Georgia 6y
MamaGina Sadly my first year there was the last year the Foxfire project was published by my HS - the teacher who edited the books took the curriculum with him when he began teaching at another school so I didn't get to participate. 6y
PatriciaU @MamaGina I did not know that was how Foxfire began! 6y

Another random spot in my house.

Currently listening to: Sinéad O‘Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven‘t Got and thinking about mental health. Hope she‘s okay.

Libby1 Wow. I had that cassette. I think it had a crack in the same place. Yes, I think about her, too, and hope and pray she‘s OK. 6y
SkeletonKey @libby1 - It‘s a good one! I guess that‘s all we can do ☹️ 6y
Soubhiville Wow, a tape deck! Don‘t see many of those anymore! I love that album. 6y

SkeletonKey @Soubhiville - It fills me with lots of good-natured nostalgia 😆 6y
CoffeeNBooks Wow! Tapes! My Sinead O'Connor tape was one of my favorites in high school. 6y
CoffeeNBooks And I really, really miss mix tapes. 😢 6y
SkeletonKey @CoffeeNBooks - Me too!! I‘m getting to the point where I might need to part with my old VHS collection but...not my tapes! 6y

I mean, there are definitely worse ways to spend a birthday than in the best bookstore around. I added to my Foxfire collection, got myself some birthday chocolate, found a nice LGBTQ magic realism collection and a cute felt pumpkin. Excellent day.
