I havent read either of the Moodie books. Not easy to come by in Australia..LOL.. loved the biography though. The things some of these women had to put up with - its astonishing to me their difficult lives. Almost like hard labour!

Thats okay, I love to have a peek in people's libraries (even if they are virtual!). Are you Canandian? I see you have Life in the Clearings versus the Bush by Susanna Moodie. I recently read the biography of her and her sister - Into the Wilderness and really loved it. I brought it when I went to Vancouver for work about 5 years ago now. I like to read books from areas I have/about it visit. I would love to read some more books on this vain.

I am still slowly adding books to my library - seems to be taking me forever. ;o)

YOu're welcome! The opportunity to think about and wander around in other people's library is the wonderful and ingenious feature of this site. To me there's a "feel" to the library of people that's fascinating. It's also easier to wander around in a smaller library. There's something daunting about 4,000 books.
