And the Flannery O'Connor addition to my list just means that I finally read the last 4 stories.

I haven't had much time to read this week, so I'm really wanting to read something fun, but still hoping to power through it this weekend.<br /><br />Belle, I've missed you! You've got to be one incredibly busy person lately, with work/school/family going on. The publisher actually sent me 2 copies of Mr. Churchill's Secretary (no idea why) ...do you want one? It doesn't have the pretty art on the cover, but if you want it, I'll drop it in the mail (email me your address if you're interested).Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-58875912596421901622012-03-01T15:23:25.694-08:002012-03-01T15:23:25.694-08:00Mr. Churchill's Secretary - ooh, my cup of tea...Mr. Churchill's Secretary - ooh, my cup of tea.

Actual...Heidi, I've been on an Irish kick too. Actually, both Love & Summer and Dance Lessons were Irish authors & settings. Somehow, I forgot to mention An Irish Country Doctor in my post! Coincidentally, I just picked it up too. It was on sale at Audible, and I loved the narrator's voice. It's kind of a "fluffy" read but I'm having fun with it. (and, hope to be posting about 11/22/63 soon...I really enjoyed it.)<br /><br />Jillian, I had to figure out some way to get some balance! This seems to be working for me so far. I read The Birchbark House to my daughter for school, and she enjoyed it much more than I did. I thought it was a little boring, but she thought it was fascinating and loved all the things she learned about Native American life. She mourned for days when we finished it!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-48368211588849798492012-02-29T11:29:27.170-08:002012-02-29T11:29:27.170-08:00That's a great idea, to alternate.

Have you ever heard of the book An Irish Country Doctor? I picked it up at the library because I'm more interested in all things Irish after reading Sebastian Barry.Heidi’sbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647096496574605262noreply@blogger.com
