mabell All good choices! My vote is for Auntie Mame (I think I have a sequel on my shelf 😆) or Mama‘s Bank Account. 😊 2y
TheAromaofBooks Oh, these all sound good!! I'm fine with any of them!!! 2y
Chrissyreadit Any are good with me! 2y
TheAromaofBooks Oh I meant to tell you that if you wish to save on postage, you are welcome to hang onto my book until you are done reading March's book and then send them together. Whatever works best for you!!! And you always send me such nice notes that I 100% think I am going to reply to and then never do 😑 But I really do appreciate it!! ❤ 2y
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the idea about saving postage! I'll do that. 👍 And I'm glad you enjoy my notes! Totally no need to reply! 😘 2y

Fictionalized memoir-one of the sweetest books I've read in recent memory. #GIVEAWAYTHETRUTH I don't have a photo unfortunately bc It was a library read.

This was made into a terrific film called I Remember Mama starring Barbara Bel Geddes as Kathryn. About a San Francisco family, by way of Norway, with 4 children, 3 aunts, Uncle Kris, a boy cat named Elizabeth, and many trials and tribulations of growing up. #bestparents #octphotochallenge

Dragon I have watched it on TCM and I am a bit teary eyed thinking of it. Mama is such a strong character. 8y
Texreader Those amazing 🇳🇴 Norwegians! 8y

TFW you stumble upon a book you read as a kid and had completely forgotten about until that moment, and decide to re-visit.
