The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

[K]

I was already listening to this book when I realized it fits the home state category, being set in central Texas in 1900. I enjoyed this slightly less than the first Calpurnia Tate book, but it got better as I kept reading. Although not set in Galveston, Calpurnia's relatives experience the Galveston storm of 1900, and that was an interesting part of the book.

Kristen are you from Galveston? Our good friends and neighbors here are from Galveston. Last names: Smith and her maiden name is White. haha. Just realized as I wrote it that those are probably too common of names to make a connection.....ha, oh well.
"Howdy pardner, you know any Smiths from Texas?"
"I reckon I do....."

Linda, I was born in Houston and I lived in Dallas before I moved to Tennessee. But I have visited Galveston. It's a small world, even if it is a big state, so it never hurts to ask. I'm afraid I don't know your friends, however!
