So there I was, carrying an armload of magazines to the backroom at B&N, probably humming some Bee Gees song to myself, when I ran smack dab into a table displaying this new book about Tuscany by Frances Mayes! Wha? Huh? Oh! I think was my exact reaction. I picked up a copy. Whale book is on hold now (not like I was ripping through it--and I'd just gotten to the part about whale hunting, which is so heavy and sad--the mama whales and the baby whales and the spurting of blood through their blowholes--terrible). Take me away to the hills of Tuscany, Frances, with your lovely poetic descriptions and your luxurious lifestyle.

More Mayes! How Did I Not Know?!

You and your travel books!
If it's as good as Under the Tuscan Sun, you're in for a treat!
Haha, I saw this display the other day and immediately thought of you. I was thinking, "I wonder if Christine has wind of this yet. Uh, probably." I might have been wrong! So let us know if it's as good as "Under the Tuscan Sun." I haven't read any Mayes yet and I'm wondering which I should read.
Lisa, I can pass on a copy of Under the Tuscan Sun to you if you'd like to read it. With the traveling you've done, you'd probably love it! Let me know.
Hey Mary--cool, I'd love to borrow your copy! Thanks for the offer!
Hey Mary, in case you check this entry, I just wanted to let you know that I picked up the book in the break room on Thursday! Thanks so much--I'm gonna try to start reading it soon and have it read within a few weeks (probably after I input final grades for the semester).
