    1. I just got the whole series from a friend and have another friend willing to lend the whole set so that Mike and I can read them together and have a little book club-esque experience of our own. I've heard mixed reviews on the 2nd and 3rd books, but I'll give them a go~ I know I'll want to see the film since a lot of it was filmed around here, so I figure I need to read them first!

    1. I really did love it. I got it from the library after seeing good reviews and just briefly reading about it, unaware of the tragic story. I found some of it difficult to read (emotionally, as a mother) and I'm sure you can relate. Knowing what was coming, I waited to read the chapter where it all went down until I had Claire sleeping in my arms during a nap. Just couldn't read it before going to bed with her across the house (and we have a pretty small house). I feel like that may sound a little strange, but that you know exactly what I mean, too.

      I also hadn't put together the Eliot Coleman/Nearings connection until a chapter or so into the book. That made it all the more enticing. I enjoyed some of the funnier stories about the Nearings, too. The bits about going south for the winters and ordering in a ton of their food. Good for the soul to know people are all just people, ya know?
