I’m enjoying the nature writing in this book.

Just read the first short story-Walter’s Book.
5 stars. So good. Such a great character.
A marriage story.

Beautiful passages, so enjoyable to read.

Really enjoying. So well written, so easy to read.

I’m loving Dot Jackson’s writing voice. A book to be savored.

Page 51. I’m very disappointed in this historical fiction.
It’s talking about a fire ant in Florida. From everything I’ve read fire ants invaded Florida in the 1930s. And wouldn’t have been there in 1818. I really don’t like when an author assumes something. Why not just say any, not fire ant. What else is wrong, that I won’t know enough to check.

Otherwise, I was enjoying this book.

Can’t finish this.

I am loving this book. I would never have thought of interweaving stories of childhood with present day nature observations. But it works so well that I think I want to do a journal of my own like this. Just for myself because I’m not a writer.

I am loving this book. A new favorite.

I haven’t even finished this book but it’s already 10 stars with me.

I’m listening to this book a bit every day. Rick Bragg is such a great narrator.

I only started reading this book a week ago. I’m only on page 52. But I’m savoring it a bit everyday. I’m just loving it. Theodora describes the land and flora and fauna and adds details of their wilderness experience in such detail it’s like I am there. I really miss camping, so this is the next best thing.

Both, when they gave their hearts away, lost them for good.

Really enjoying this book.

I just read chapter one. So loving this book.

Enjoying this for my Halloween read.

Enjoying reading Rachel’s account of how her mother treats her.

Enjoyable little essays about farming, nature, family life in Ohio

Beautiful drawings by the author. Beautifully written prose of southern country life. Written in 1942.

Enjoying the nature descriptions.

Savoring this book.

A gift of finding the right music for someone.
I’m glad there is a playlist link.

It wasn’t that he was losing his mind, rather that he was deliberately taking things out of it that he no longer needed.

Loving this book.

I’ve haven’t got to listen to my usual Christmas music because I’m looking up the songs in this book and listening to them.

A Christmas present. A memoir. Music. Photographs. Recipes. All in one book.
A nice book to leisurely read and refer back to.

A Christmas present. Am enjoying looking at old familiar songs and some ‘new to me’ oldies. A nice book to page through and refer back to.

I’m only on chapter 3. But I’m so hooked. This is Christmas Day and the first thing I thought of was getting back into it! My second thought was how grateful I am to have like-minded friends on GoodReads who like my kind of books. I wish I was better at rating my books; I know that I give too many 5 stars and that can be misleading when I read one like this and need 10 stars.

Loving this book.
