Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen came from Maudeen for my unbirthday.
Yet another great and intriguing title, right? And this quirky memoir looks to be totally entertaining.
Up For Renewal by Cathy Alter also came from Maudeen for my unbirthday.
I like these stunt memoirs a lot. I'd not be very likely to try any of the year long experiments in living to which current authors devote a year of their lives but I do love to read about others doing it. I am the ultimate voyeur. ;-)
As always, if you'd like to see the marvelous goodies in other people's mailboxes, make sure to visit Marcia at The Printed Page and enjoy seeing how we are all doing our part to keep the USPS and delivery services viable.
I'm adding Mennonite in a Little Black Dress to my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
These look really terrific. I haven't seen the Up for Renewal One Before -- depending on what magazines the author reads (Cosmo or Nat'l Geographic) the results should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteBoth books look really good!
ReplyDeleteMaudeen was very good to you! I love that type of memoir too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these. But they look good. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteBoth memoirs look good. I like reading these types of books too. Enjoy them both!

OOh -- just finished the Mennonite -- quite a few laugh out loud parts coupled with some very odd slightly disturbing parts. All in all a fun fast read
