About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Land of Dreams (Home to Green Creek)Land of Dreams by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book from my local library on the Hoopla app. It was only available as an audiobook from my library.
I am glad that books by Lauraine Snelling and Kiersti Giron continue telling me stories about the immigrants who settle in Iowa in the 1890s because those stories tell me about what farm life may have been like for my great-grandparents who lived in Ohio (and were not immigrants.)
