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.

Okay, I have to say this, but I added The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag to my list of TBR books just because I find the title so intriguing. How did you find this book? I'm going to check and see if my library has it.

ReplyDeleteI saw The Lost Summer on someone else's blog today. I want to read it too. And that one about the friends sounds wonderful. I'll watch for your review. Somehow I think I knew that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth were your favorite movie couple. Thanks for adding your comments to my post today. the gratitude journal is such a good idea.
