I got this as a free e-book from the University of Chicago Press - thank you! This is a weird, wacky book; historical fiction—with an emphasis on fiction— where true-to-life luminaries touch the peripheries of the lives of our main characters. As far as I can tell, there is only a tiny bit of truth regarding Gordon McKay here, and it comes only at the end of the story in a wrap-up. But honestly, who cares? This is a tale of westward migration with Geraldine Brooks' attention to detail and eye for quirky facts, along with the unnerving sexuality of an old VC Andrews story (If I say that a Sister and Brother - twins - figure into the plot, you'll know which one I mean.) I learned about bee-keeping, kiln making, and a bunch of other things I never would have googled until now; McMahon packed a lot into this slim volume, which is totally worth the time if you are up for an adventure.

I consulted the TwiBookPlus (Twitter, Facebook, Google+) asking for ways to destroy books. Dakota Taylor eloquently said "fire." So, that's what this video does.

This will probably be a series, so look forward to more book destruction in the future.

Day 24: Book with multiple perspectives, family or group (Jazz)

Obviously I chose ASOIAF series. The books are told through multiple perspectives. I think there's been about 30 different narrators by the end of the fifth book.

It's the best way to tell the story, primarily because there is a lot going on and it allows you to see different things happening all over the world. Additionally, each character brings a unique perspective to the events, even though you generally only see an event from one character's viewpoint.

Feeling snugly? Want some love by snow light or Christmas tree glow? How about a bit of real holiday magic?
