Got a "Nook" tablet for Christmas- yay!
Just downloaded and started to read the book
"BarnHeart: The Incurable Longing for a Farm of Ones Own" by Jenna Woginrich- she is the author of the book "Made from Scratch- Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life" which was an excellent book.
I really enjoy her writing- something a farmgirl can certainly relate to.
Will let you know how the book is- I'm only about 20 pages into it but so far it is REALLY good!
Thought I would pass this along.
Smiles,

Cool Laurie - please do share your thoughts. I really liked her first book and did not know she had another one out. That's why I love this forum:)

I bought the book before Christmas and loved it. I'm hoping to get "Made From Scratch" soon. I totally understood her longing to get her own farm and envied her when she did.

Y'all should check out her blog too. www.coldantler.com. It's where I go first every day to see what she's up to. Great blog. I have not read that book yet but want to.

Read both her books and loved them! The author is very honest, funny, self-depreciating and knowledgeable. I will check out her blog too. Dianne in the Hudson Valley

She's having an heirloom seed give away on her blog right now. Y'all go enter. They're giving away 5 seed starter sets.
I love her blog. I have learned so much from her. She inspired me to get sheep again.

| Absolutely LOVED this book! Glad to see someone writing a memoir that is about love for a lifestyle instead of a man!She's also really made me want sheep to go with my border collie... |
