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.
The 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.
LOVELY list. I hope to catch a few of these sometime soon.
I 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.
