As for what I was expecting, I was actually thinking it was going to be very self-consciously witty and clever, so I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I ended up appreciating just how down to earth it was. She is humble, although she's kind of dragged kicking and screaming into humility. In other words she's like a lot of the rest of us!

And I know what you mean about finding books cheap. I've never read Edith Schaeffer's book but I have heard she was a great writer.<br /><br />So far "Call the Midwife" is really interesting; I'm enjoying it more than I would if I hadn't seen the show, I think. She goes into great technical detail about the births so it's not for the squeamish! :-) I think she has several books so I'll have to check out the other ones when I'm finished this one.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590153368194137758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-48011890937067635272014-12-15T14:41:23.981-05:002014-12-15T14:41:23.981-05:00Hi there, Jeannie.

I just started "Frankenstein" today! (I'm reading for my son's lit class since I homeschool.) I'm amazed to be enjoying it. :-) I was also pleased as punch last weekend to pick up a copy of a "vintage" book. (Edith Schaeffer, The Hidden Art of Homemaking, 1971) I've wanted it for years, but never wanted to pay $12 for it on Amazon. Got a great like-new copy for 50 cents!Betsy de Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787903903743238209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-25157951517400087702014-12-15T14:16:29.097-05:002014-12-15T14:16:29.097-05:00Hi Anne - thanks!
