I just finished a really good book - The Spice Box ( Lou Jane Temple)

is set in mid 1800's NYC and the characters are fascinating. It isnominally a mystery, but is so much more than that. Cheryl



Oh boy, now you've gone and done it. I'll just have to read this one also.

I'll be interested to hear what you have to say about it!

I went right away and put a hold on it via internet at my local library and I'm #2 in the holds list so I should have it soon. I'll let you know when I finish.

I'm reading a non fiction book now that has been fascinating. It's called: Why Gender Matters. It talks about actual physical differences between little girls & boys that makes different teaching methods work differently for each sex, like why little girls may think they're being yelled at by a man speaking in what he considers a normal speaking voice and why little boys may not hear a female teacher speak in what she considers a normal speaking voice. Suggestions as simple as dealing with boys side to side and girls face to face if you don't seem to be getting your message accross. I think the author may be Leonard Sax, but the book is in the other room & I'm too lazy to go & get it. :-) Liz from Humbug P.S. The wallpaper backing is coming off quite nicely with just a wet sponge & a scraper. It's going so well that it has put me in the mood to do the even uglier back bathroom. :-))
