Bought anything interesting lately?

Well, I ended up not receiving The Liturgical Year after all. The seller only sent the first book. Needless to say, I got a refund. Now I'm on the hunt for another set.

Bummer.

I had an experience a while ago where I purchased a DRB special edition from the 50s from Amazon private seller. They sent me a KJV. Still same artwork and edition type, but wrong text. Sent it back and they gave refund.

Now I've bought The Liturgical Year.  Complete hardcover set, for about what I paid for the first "set", and probably in better condition. Seller's shipping them out today!  Anybody know of a good liturgical calendar online, so I can start with the right volume?

62? 55? Late-mid 1800s when Dom Gueranger was writing?


Here's the 1962 from OLGS seminary:

I bought a prayer book off Goodwill.

Thanks, Gardener.

They have some gems every once in a while, for sure. Got an entire Summa on there for... I dunno, 67 bucks or something?

I was recently given a very nice book that teaches the fundamentals of how to write the letters and sounds of the Arabic language: Alif Baa, Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds.

I hope to finally be able to read and write Arabic by the end of the year. It's something that I've been too lazy to do until now.

I used that one for my Intro to Arabic class.

I never kept up with it, but it's a beautiful language.

I bought a tiny Confraternity New Testament with a fascinating little intro regarding its translation and earlier translations of the Rheims NT. I've been meaning to make a thread about it, maybe Tuesday. A couple used Catholic books: This is the Mass and Catholic History through Biography. I also got a lovely used kids book called In The Town all Year Round. No words, just beautifully illustrated and it even includes nuns and a monastery! Also got a couple used Spanish books for kids.

A new rosary to replace the one that was lost. And some hematite beads to make an inexpensive one that I can carry with me.

A Ruitertassen leather satchel (from ebay). Finally! I've wanted one for years! Although I love leatherwork, there's no way I could possibly make a bag as nice as one of these. And a St. Teresa medal (also from ebay) to put on my rosary, the exact same one as the one that was on my lost rosary, except that one was silver and this one is gold.

Missal which was not at all expensive considering its size and condition.

Used my amazon gift card to buy a Kobo ereader. 

[Bernadette]

Blech. I hate this thing! I wonder if I can send it back...
