I picked up this book because it is set in Colorado. Wanted something setting my homeland again after reading Go as a River.

The author has chosen to use various mediums of writing to tell the story. So far, she has used letters, a screenplay, recipes, newspaper articles, and regular narrative to tell the story. This feels like one of those mail-order mystery subscriptions, but in book form.

My favorite part so far is the frolicking sheep flipbook in the corners of every page of the book.

I am not the target audience for this book anymore, as my kids are grown adults now.

I am sure the concepts can be applied, but rather than continue the audio, I am thinking I will get the paper book so that I can skim more thoroughly and catch the high points.

My love language isn't words of affirmation, and I think this book is heavy on that. I was kind of looking for something to strengthen that part of myself

Following along this year with The Reader and The Writer Podcast.

I found the first part of the book inspirational, but the rest is a bit too complicated for my now-life. Pretty sure I'm going to move on from this soon...

I am not liking this book near as much as I had hoped. I am about 2/3 through. I am finding myself a bit bored and restless, but I want to see things through to the end.

A welcome change from all of the serious reading I've been doing lately. I am listening to the audiobook. Light, amusing entertainment, and a picturesque view of "simpler" times. A bit repetitive but that's perhaps necessary as we take in scenes from the different characters' points of view.
Endearing characters.
It's not the same, but for me it's a diversion similar to the Flavia De Luca series by Alan Bradley.

This has a lot of good info but I just currently don't have the time to read thoroughly and truly take it all in. Setting aside for now and my come back later.
