Next Book

While reading one of my recent Smithsonian magazines I came across a title that looked like a light, interesting read. Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote North to the Orient about her trip with her husband to the Orient via the Great Circle Route.

I requested it from my local library and I just picked it up. Right now it must vie for my time with the stockings I am knitting! But it is such a little book (under 150 pages) that it will not take a lot of time to read.

My 9 year old is already interested in Amelia Earhart and her aviation career. So if this book is appropriate, the Artist may be the next to read it.

Marie - have you read her Gift from the Sea? It's kind of a neat short read. She wrote it while spending a month alone at the beach - comparing different shells to the stages of a woman's life.

I'm thinking that a month alone on the beach sounds pretty good!
