Thank you, Dear Readers, for all the comments on my last post where I allowed some petty ventings to be released to the interwebs and did not expect such response. That said, I hereby must state that the current book I am enjoying — yes! enjoying immensely, is the tour book due to be reviewed in mid-December
and I am
finding
it

WONDERFUL.
It is nonfiction. I love nonfiction!
It is history (the Depression years.) I enjoy learning more about the past.
It is personal stories of family and strangers intertangled and woven over the time and mostly within a certain geographical area. I am always wondering about old buildings and the people that built them, used them, lived in them, and what has happened since; this book does a great job of touching on the then and now in terms of place.]
It is written by an author more than capable and skilled in research and weaving stories together that deliver emotional punch.
I’m quite moved and have already shed a few tears.
I’m halfway through; expect my review to be positive. :)
Oh, the book? A Secret Gift by Ted Gup.

Woo hoo! Glad to see you’re enjoying it!
So the lesson is just be very careful about the books and the tours, I guess. Find the things that really appeal to you and don’t get caught up in the buzz. Glad you found one you’re enjoying!
awesome, glad to know you’re loving it. Never heard about the book, will have to look it up.
This sounds *exactly* like something I’d enjoy reading. Looking forward to your review!
