Hello GenTravelers!
How was your week? I’m happy to say that I went Literary GenTraveling this week! (I’ve mentioned that I feel like I’m traveling when I read a good book, right?)
I recently heard about this new book and downloaded the audiobook right away. Being a genealogist, I found it extremely interesting – plus Dani Shapiro is an excellent writer. I heard about this book from listening to Gretchen Rubin’s podcast – and she is starting a book club and this book will be the inaugural book! (Go HERE if you want to find out more about Gretchen’s book club).
Congratulations to Dani Shapiro. I enjoyed her memoir very much!
What Literary GenTraveling have you been on lately? I’d LOVE some good book recommendations! I tend to get transported in time with a good book – especially ones with a genealogy element! My hubby will even tell you of a time when I was so engrossed in a book that I didn’t even hear him vacuum our stairs! (And yes, a wife SHOULD notice when her husband goes to such effort! Haha!)
Have a great week!
So, are you planning your GenTraveling yet? Where do you plan to go? Be sure to share your GenTraveling Bucket list on our Bucket List Page. GenTraveling: It’s the Real Deal Thrill!

This book is my next one to read on my Kindle. I just finished one of her novels and am really looking forward to reading this. Saw her interviewed on PBS about her discoveries!

Let me know what you think of it! I’m going to see if I can find the PBS interview online – that would be interesting. Thanks for mentioning that. Take care!

Good idea! An audio book would be excellent. Does the author read it herself?
