Because, as much as I love blogging, I do need to clean two wingback chairs that we got courtesy of craigslist and I would like to scrapbook today.
Anyhow, I wanted to recommend two books.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
Both books are excellent and I promise more detailed summaries and thoughts but at a later time.
And please, if you have ever read North and South (this book does not have anything to do with the Patrick Swayze/Kirstie Allie t.v. miniseries), please tell me. I had never heard of the book until recently, and I studied English lit pretty intensively.
I’ve not read either book, but will be sure to put them on hold at the library. Glad to know you still have time to read in New York!
