Book Highlight - String Too Short to Be Saved

My latest Godine book review: String Too Short to Be Saved

Disclaimer: this book wasn't really my taste. It was a very charming book, filled with reminisces about the author's family and old-fashioned farm life, and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling about my own family. But, I didn't learn anything (except how to hay a field and use a yoke to carry two huge pails of blueberries single-handedly), nor did it challenge my thinking. So, it was a pleasant read, but not a literary masterpiece. If you choose to read it, I'd recommend shelving it for a gloomy day. Then, if you read it next to the fireplace, you'll be warm inside and out. *insert cliche giggle here*
