26 for '26

2026 is upon us!  Had to believe we’re already a quarter of a century into the 21st century…  why, it seems like just yesterday we were all partying like it was 1999!  But, here we are, and to begin this new year, we offer for your consideration our 1st FS list of 2026: 26 for ’26.  Herein you’ll find our usual melange of Dickens, Children’s, Americana, Odds & Ends, etc., etc.  The common thread throughout is that the bulk of the 26 are relatively new acquisitions, so if this piques your curiosity Gentle Reader, please feel free to take a browse.

New[ish] Acquisitions

New[ish] Acquisitions

while we usually release our bi-weekly FS lists on Tuesday mornings, I, on most occasions, write the introduction the Sunday prior, and as I sit here in my big chair contemplating what to write for this FS list, I find I’m all out of words…  so, this morning, I offer no pithy sayings, no alliterations, just a sincere thank you for your attention: past, present & future.

Enjoy.
