i'm a believer in sending something back to those who send me anything. They never insist it, which makes putting something together for them even more fun for me. This one was easy.
Carolyn said that when i was done with the book, I could pass it on or keep it for my library. I decided to pass on a memoir to her, one that meant something to me and was a beautiful read. I sent along my tattered/dog eared copy of "What Remains." I love this book for the candid portrayal we got of the forever gorgeous John F. Kennedy Jr., his Carolyn, and what the author went through when they were gone. (She married JFK jr's cousin, and dealt with personal tragedy all at once).
Since Carolyn is a Francophile, i thought she could use the Parisian postcard as a book mark.
Here's two writes ups i did on the memoir; please have a look here and here. I hope she enjoys this book, one I loved and couldn't put down.
thank-you Carolyn! I'm loving the Glass Castle. xo
