Edith Wharton is next.<br /><br />Beth F - And it's a pretty large gap when it comes to Annie Fields...<br /><br />Kristen - I've only read a couple, so we'll see how it goes for me. I really want to love her work.<br /><br />Amy - I think Maine is a big draw for me, too. I don't like reading on the iPad for very long, so I may get a print copy of this one.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-73469090396936367852011-09-05T16:02:00.136-04:002011-09-05T16:02:00.136-04:00Great post Joanne, I didn't know much about Je...Great post Joanne, I didn't know much about Jewett's life.

Writers often have such interesting stories behind them.<br /><br />DS - It's taking time to adjust to reading on the iPad .
