I just read the first story in here and I liked it but I‘m going to take my time reading this. I read the Chicken Soup book for women this month all at one time. It was too much but I don‘t think I would have gotten more out of it if I took my time reading it because I couldn‘t relate to a lot of the stories. This book only has 1 section of stories about parenting which is not bad but I won‘t be able to relate because I‘m not a parent.
I started the tagged book on my Kindle and it says this about how to read it. The problem I might have is that once I start reading the first story in here, I will want to keep going with the entire book without stopping. I need to take my time when reading these Chicken Soup books since they‘re short stories instead of reading it all at once like I did with the other one I read that‘s for women. This would be good to read in between other books.
Late last year, I entered to win a galley of this book. About 6 months later, I received the link to read it! I have a few others I need to get to, but I'm excited to read this one.
Excuse me while I rearrange my TBR yet again! 🤣
The last Alice Munro on my shelf. Pretty terrific.
pickWritten in 1942 during the German occupation of Denmark, Danish writer Dinesen (a nom de plume for Baroness Karen Blixen) weaves beautifully rich tapestries that are her short stories, believing in the power of myth, romance and medieval fable as bulwarks against the bleak “wintry” landscape of WWII. Great contrast with my “summery” reading spot: Standish-Hickey State Park along the beautiful Eel River.
so-soWhile this was a cute, whimsical tale, I don‘t think kids would be pulled into the story.
Just heard about this-2 days late. I have not read all her books, but those that I have I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed. I love the book written by her daughter about their relationship.

@Billypar such sad news. What a gift to have a long life. Thank you so much for introducing her to me! I‘ve read out all the books the library had of hers. ♥️
