I‘ve spent today in bed with a sinus infection and fever. It‘s been hard to concentrate to read, but I can surf newspaper archives. This is a notice about a literary luncheon where my great-grandmother presented about the tagged book. Now I want to read it! And this is why I always say my love of reading comes from my dad. This is his grandmother, so maybe it‘s genetic or learned since he was close to them. #generationsofreaders #genealogy 🤒😷🤧

Vertabrain Ugh, hope you‘re feeling better soon, but this is wonderful! What year? 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Vertabrain Thanks. I‘m sure I will be. The luncheon was in 1930, which is the year this book was published. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Redwritinghood Thank you! 7y
Vertabrain Thanks :) I just looked it up, and the book looks good. It was a debut novel that won the Pulitzer! I‘m intrigued. 7y
FashionableObserver What a cool find! I, too, am intrigued by the book! Feel better! I have chronic sinusitis so I know exactly what you‘re going through. Hot water with lemon and honey always helps. And, if you‘re feeling fancy, add a little whiskey! 😜 (edited) 7y
MemoirsForMe Wow! Amazing tidbit about your literary heritage. Sending healing hugs to you. Feel better soon. 🤗❤️ 7y
ValerieAndBooks Very cool. And that newspapers actually found this worthy news to publish back in the day. Feel better soon! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Vertabrain Oh nice—I didn‘t realize it won a Pulitzer. Cool! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @FashionableObserver Thanks. Good idea on the tea—my poor throat is so raw right now! But I feel better today. Yay! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @UwannaPublishme Thanks—feeling better today! 😍 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ValerieAndBooks Thanks! I‘ve found all kinds of “small news” about family members in these searches. And I agree that all things literary had more value back then! 7y
minkyb Very cool. Sorry about sinusitis. It is painful. 7y
