Have you read her Surrender Tree? That one is just beautiful. I am really looking forward to reading her memoir, Enchanted Air. So many interesting books you have here.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-70303341106424551192015-04-21T12:03:19.162-07:002015-04-21T12:03:19.162-07:00For a speedy reader (often a book in a few hours),...For a speedy reader (often a book in a few hours), a month is almost excruciating for me. ;) Yes, the Firefly cover is unique.

It's a great mentor text when writing brief personal narratives or writing to go with art. It's also a nice book for family themes.

I was introduced to her artwork when I was in middle school, and I actually have a signed print hanging right in front of me. She artwork is brilliant, and her stories are epic. You should check out her Family Pictures. <br /><br />Happy reading this week! :) Kellee Moye (@kelleemoye)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11912740016918990989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-63905926528295374882015-04-20T19:48:04.124-07:002015-04-20T19:48:04.124-07:00I put Unusual Chickens on my list after reading yo...I put Unusual Chickens on my list after reading your goodreads review too!Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-78851323862031913582015-04-20T18:35:23.957-07:002015-04-20T18:35:23.957-07:00I enjoyed reading your comments on these books.
