Little Heathens by Mildred Armstrong Kalish

This is the next book for the book club that I'm part of. This was such a fun book. Mildred Kalish is in her 80s and this book is the memoirs from her childhood. She grew up in Iowa. She was on a farm for the summer months and then lived at her grandparents house the remainder of the year. It was a different time in the 30s, and you made due with what you had. The kids didn't really want for more. They were content. I get the impression that in many ways life was easier. Although I think when you're a child a lot of things come easier.

This book brought back so many memories of stories from my Grandma and Grandpa. Especially the food chapter--I was thinking of all of the yummy recipes that my Grandma makes. The book reminded me to ask my Grandma and Mamo about their childhoods and stories that they remember. I am also going to encourage them to write them down so I can pass along to the next generations in our family.

Looking forward to the book club discussion. Definitely one to put on your list.

The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts

Book 3 of the Pagan Stone series. It was predictable, but an enjoyable series. It was fun if you need something light to take your mind off everyday life.
