This weekend med friend Eliza talked about a book she was reading. I looked at my local library to see if they had any book by the author, Willa Cather. They had several books of her, and I picked up two of them today. I am so excited to read them!

What are you grateful for today?

    Wonderful! Enjoy. :) I’m not familiar with the second one, I will have to look for it. :)
    Grateful for a good soaking rain today, which enables an extra leisurely day. :)

      Thank you. I think some of the magic of the books got lost in the translation. It is sad when that happens. I am sure the original English versions are great. the language in the Swedish translation was flat, it is not the first time I experience that. I read one of the books (the top one) from start to end. It wasn’t all that bad. The second one (the one at the bottom) I could not get past the first chapter, it was really bad. I am sure this does not reflect the author.

        Sorry to read that, the original invoked the life of the pioneer so well and the great love between the main characters. Alas!

          I believe you. I’ll see if I can read the original somewhere.

    Enjoy those books, Maria! I’m grateful for getting home this morning safely from a sixteen mile ride on the new bike! 😎🌴🌞
