Earlier this month Rick and I traveled west to visit old friends--actually, the founder of this book group and her husband. They live in the Portland area and we had a wonderful time. She and I spent a couple of hours at Powell's bookstore, a huge and fun store in downtown Portland that carries both used and new books. I restrained myself and only bought one small book for the online Spanish class I am currently taking. Anyway, I wanted a book to read for the trip because of the long flights involved in getting there. I used Squeaky Clean Reads and found the book The Forgotten Garden. I loved the story! It is about a young woman's quest to discover her lineage and it alternates between her story and those of people who were part of her grandmother's (unknown) past.

AuthorMy name is Elizabeth. I love to read. In college I took speed reading and kept a list of everything I read (I wish I could find that list!). As a teen I would read under the blankets half the night. As a child I first patronized the book mobile and later read entire sections of books from the school library. Now, with dozens of books on my "want to read" list, I tend to doze off if I read at night and I am usually in the middle of several books at one time. Archives
