Mailbox Monday and It's Monday...What Are You Reading?


Mailbox Monday
is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.
We share what books that we found 
in our mailboxes last week.

For Review:
The Girls From Ames- Jeffrey Zaslow
TLC Tour Book
As children, they formed a special bond, growing up in the small town of Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eighth different states, yet they managed to maintain an extraordinary friendship that would carry them through college and careers, marriage and motherhood, dating and divorce, the death of a child, and the mysterious death of the eleventh member of their group. Capturing their remarkable story, The Girls from Ames is a testament to the enduring, deep bonds of women as they experience life’s challenges, and the power of friendship to overcome even the most daunting odds.

  12. Me too on The Girl's from Ames. I bought this book last Summer as soon as I heard about it and then it hit my shelf and did not come down.

    Now I see it is hitting the blogs in Paperback and I know it is time for me to read this one :)

    Have a super week!
