What I'm reading Wednesday...

 

Forty-seventh challenge finish of the year.

This one has been on my Kindle since 2017.  It was a pretty good story, I just couldn't go a full four stars.  It was an interesting depiction of a friendship between these two women from American history, and I did believe that it was a true friendship.  I just didn't fully engage with it somehow (but I have been busy and had other things on my mind too).

The actual dressmaker wrote a memoir, Behind the Scenes; Or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House by Elizabeth Keckley, which I have added to my wish list at the library.

  1. I read that book quite a while ago but didn’t know about the memoir. I’ll be interested in what you think of it.

  2. Don't think I'll be reading it for awhile, but I don't want to wait too long. Maybe after I finish the challenge. I'll definitely post it here when I do.
