Ditto on the "Museum of Lost Quilts". It was so nice to spend time with "old friends" and to catch up. A lovely effort to tie content from previous books to a current or should I say more current situation. I heard tell the Jennifer Chiaverini will be doing more Elm Creek books because of the many requests by her reading public.
A book I highly recommend is "The Naturalist" by Darrin Lunde (The Naturalist: Theodore Roosevelt, A Lifetime of Exploration, and the Triumph of American Natural History - Full title.) This is NOT focused on Roosevelt's presidency. Rather it is about how it came to be that he was so interested in the study of natural history that resulting in his passion for the land, it's animals and preservation of large swaths of our country as national parks.
