Julie wrote: "31. Emily Post Daughter of the Gilded Age, Mistress of American Manners"Julie, I hadn't heard of this biography - it really sounds fascinating.
That's exactly what I thought! I actually had to put it down and read something else until I felt like I could read it again! I loved it, but at times I really wanted to stop altogether!
Julie wrote: "28. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle A Novel"Julie, I have such mixed feelings about Edgar Sawtelle. It really was a love/hate relationship with the whole novel. What did you think of it?
23. If You Give a Mom a Martini 100 Ways to Find 10 Blissful Minutes for Yourself
24. The Big Rich The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes

I don't believe it was as bad there as it was in Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, but what an awful time.
I learned a lot! I had always heard about the Dust Bowl, but never really new the extent of the toll it took on land and lives. I live in Eastern Kansas, so many of the locations were somewhat familiar to me.

Julie, I just read this one not too long ago. What did you think of it?"

I wish I could say I've seen the movie, but I haven't :( This has to be one of my most favorite books of all time though, so if the movie is half as good, I'd be happy!

How did the Slumdog Millionaire book stack up to the movie? I almost never like a movie better than the book, but that movie was SO good!!!
