What happens when you unearth boxes of old letters, dog-eared essays, rebellious cartoons, and forgotten report cards from a dusty storage unit? You get SCRIBBLINGS FROM STORAGE, The Confessions of an English Major—a candid, witty, and deeply human memoir by Charles Francis Guittard, Baylor class of 1964. Told through the artifacts of his so-called “permanent record,” this unconventional memoir traces Charles’s winding journey as an earnest but often insecure teenager stumbling reluctantly toward adulthood.

What can happen when an 80-year-old Dallas widower meets an 80-year-old Austin widow and they discover they have a lot in common? Several things, one right after another. They start emailing and texting each other, telling each other their stories from eight decades of living apart; then, in a matter of weeks, deciding to get married, and, soon after, resolving to tell a broader audience the stories they had been telling each other. Front and center is their courtship experience itself told through their emails, combined with Charles and Nancy’s separate accounts of growing up.
