Yeah, if I manage to read mostly stuff I've owned since at least 2018 for the rest of the year, I think I can still hit that goal :-)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-70222725626566515942019-09-22T22:36:28.381-04:002019-09-22T22:36:28.381-04:00Good luck finishing the challenge.

You will definitely dig this book.<br /><br />One of her descendants did pop up on an IG post of mine about this! That was such a treat :-)<br /><br />I gave my dad a copy that had both Homesteader and Elk Hunt in the same volume, and he read it in one sitting, cover to cover :-DHamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-35453273951803403302019-07-12T18:47:13.415-04:002019-07-12T18:47:13.415-04:00PioneerGirl, it's really good!

Don't know if I've added this one, yet, but you know it will go on my wishlist, if it is not already there. <br /><br />Did I tell you that Elinore's great granddaughter (Jerine's granddaughter) commented on my Instagram post about the first book? She said her mom was the same strong willed lady as Elinore. Actually another great granddaughter also commented on the post. They are very proud of their GGrandmother. Be sure to #Elinore's name and maybe they'll find your post about her books, too, if they haven't found you already.Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-35523691747942206182019-07-12T01:03:15.058-04:002019-07-12T01:03:15.058-04:00This sounds like a good read!
