As Promised......

.....today you have the chance to be put into the draw for this wonderful book.



First let me say that I'm not a big reader of non-fiction books,  though I quite enjoy (auto)biographies..that's that nosy inquisitive part of me again!  This book though, had me hooked from the start...... a forty-year friendship between a group of women?-that rings a bell! (see yesterday's post about 'Us Girls').

There was so much in the book that I could relate to: recollections - starting with school days , right through to the time of publication in 2008 -of school itself, of weekend jobs, of first boyfriends, of parents, of weddings, of funerals, of births, of deaths...all the things that 'Us Girls' have been through together. I laughed and cried my way through it, and as soon as I finished it , sent a 'Are you all OK?' email to 'The Girls'. 

If you would like a chance to  read 'The Girls from Ames', and pass it on via your Blog as part of PASS THE BOOK YR2 , just leave a comment below before Thursday midnight and I'll enter you in the draw.

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you 
Alison xx
