SLC Day 4

Bought a few books this trip, from Sam Weller and from airport stores.

Will I Ever Forget This Day, Carol Lynn Pearson (x2 for friends)
Garlic and Sapphires, Ruth Reichl (copy for me, for Genie to read)
Blink, Malcolm Gladwell (loved this book)
Spook, Mary Roach (I love best her witty ramblings)
Red, Terry Tempest Williams
O Pioneer, Willa Cather


Also finished Mormon Enigma by Newell and Avery. Emma Hale Smith fascinates me. I can't quite comprehend the things she had to endure ... deaths of her children, being apart from Joseph for so much of their married life, knowing or suspecting his relations with other women, being involed in legal tangles with the church following his death, being reviled by church leaders on her remarriage. She's one person I'd like to meet one day.
