Great meeting, ladies! I will definitely be reading the next two books in the series!

Kindle

Rebecca, do you like your kindle? Is it that much better than a print book? I'm just trying to figure out if it is worth getting one. Thanks for your input!

1000 White Women

I am enjoying the book immensely! I'm sort of thinking that we may end discussing the historical events surrounding the book rather than the text itself. It's a good story. May Dodd has a strong & straightforward voice. I get almost angry when she and the others consistently refer to the Cheyenne as savages. She has begun to process the discrepancies in her "civilized" world, but I wonder if it will occur to her to stop calling any culture that non-European uncivilized and savage.

It's official - I am hooked on 1000 white women - the book goes with me everywhere right now-earthy, lusty...a fun read that takes you away!

Okay so this crazy old lady school counselor is doing her first blog...ever!! Just in time too because I have been asked to be a guest blogger for UWL!
I hope you are enjoying the book as much as I am.
