No, I'm not planning on getting married any time soon but I am interested in cultural traditions. This book seems like it would be a great item for a bride of Irish descent or who is marrying into an Irish family. It is full of good ideas for wedding service, receptions, attire and post-wedding traditions. ]]> <![CDATA[Esther is on page 120 of When Everything Chan... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72878140 Esther is on page 120 of 471 of When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present

I have been picked as a first-reader of this book and I'm seriously looking forward to receiving it in the mail. As a fellow journalist, I'm always fascinated with stories about journalism as it used to be and yet sometimes it also makes me sad that it has changed so much. ]]> <![CDATA[Esther added 'A Short History of Nearly Everything']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76211716 A Short History of Nearly Everything (Paperback) by Bill Bryson

bookshelves: currently-reading, first-reads
I received the book in the mail last night and started reading it this morning on my metrorail commute to work. The book is a must read for someone who did not grow up in the 60s or 70s because it gives a really clear and descriptive narrative of how much things have changed. It's an interesting and easy read with WONDERFUL stories to explain the changes. I'm so glad to have been picked for a first-read! ]]> <![CDATA[Esther added 'The Greatest Science Stories Never Told: 100 tales of invention and discovery to astonish, bewilder, and stupefy']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75926175 The Greatest Science Stories Never Told: 100 tales of invention and discovery to astonish, bewilder, and stupefy (Hardcover) by Rick Beyer
