Darn! I was going to say that the chicken recipes was weirdly calling to me. I've never read a cookbook on my Kindle, though. Assuming that it was a cookbook. Sort of an odd title if it's the true story of a woman and her pet elephant.
ReplyDeleteThe recipes in the chicken cookbook seemed tasty, but there was unnecessary repetition in the directions. This happened over and over, and I grew more distracted and irritated.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY list. I hope to catch a few of these sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Labor Day. There was some beautiful writing but not enough to get me to finish the book. I'm thinking about re-reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
