  6. I forgot it was a month and had to pick up my jaw from the floor! But even for a month, that is quite impressive! I've heard from friends that 'The Rosie Project' is amazing, so I hope you enjoyed it too! 'Jane' sounds like a pretty interesting take on Bronte's 'Jane Eyre'! I hope you enjoy your reading!

  7. I haven't linked in awhile either! Looks like you had a great reading month. I need to look into some of these- the titles sound interesting.

    I grew up in Dodge City, Kansas. Yes, THE Dodge City. As you can imagine Earps, Holliday, and the whole gang are all very important pieces of the history of the town and we were well immersed in the part they played. We had to study Kansas History in high school. I would love to read the Doc Holliday book. I love Tombstone and Wyatt Earp (historical inaccuracies aside) and Val was BRILLIANT as Doc.

  8. I am glad you enjoyed The Pearl That Broke It's Shell. I am planning to read that one soon.

  9. I'm curious about the Doc Holliday book, I never knew much about him until I saw the Kurt Russell/ Val Kilmer movie. Looks like they based the movie character at least partially on real life events…

I love to hear from you! Please contact me (menu bar, above) if you're having trouble commenting.
