I can hear you guys right now saying; " What ? Where will she find the time? "
I have been planning this for awhile now. When I started
The Writers Porch I had in mind to post about my
LOVE for BOOKS..............
Well, I had so much fun going eclectic that I felt my original intention to promote
THE WRITTEN WORD got lost, so I've created
THE BOOK HOUSE, where I will post occasionally
(probably once a week) on books and authors. For my first post I want to talk about one of my
VERY favorite reads,
"Alex Stewart Portrait of A Pioneer " by John Rice Irwin..........ISBN # 0-88740-053-1 : Paperback : 293 pages
If you don't like reading about the
Appalachian Pioneers and their hardships, you won't like this book. If you do, this is one of the
VERY BEST ever written on the subject!! I absolutely fell in love with the man
Alex Stewart and with
John Irwin's writing! This is not a work of fiction. John started visiting Alex in the 1970's and taping their conversations. He went so often that he became a honorable member of the Stewart family. He then turned 20 years of tapes into one of the best books I've ever read. A book I
HATED to see end !! To learn more about
John Rice Irwin, who is the founder of the very famous
Museum of Appalachia please click on the name. You can also click
this to see a
YouTube Video of him talking about
M of A. Below is a picture of Alex on the books back cover. He reminds me so much of my maternal grandfather who passed away when I was 17 years old.
These are books I received in the past week. I have a few more coming but have promised myself that I will
BUY no more until the
TBR Stack shows signs of shrinkage!
The above books and these are some of the books I will be talking about on this new blog!!!
HAPPY READING YOU GUYS !!!!!!!!!!
