Hope your Thanksgiving holiday has been a lovely one, if you celebrate.
Robin gives Kin Types 4 out of 4 stars!!! Check out her review.
Weaving newspaper articles about
family events, photographs shown by
her grandfather, stories shared
through family members
and research sifted through
these sources comes an
extraordinary book!
“Kin Types” is hard to put
down and also difficult in parts
to absorb the everyday tragic
lives depicted within these pages.
I was drawn in by both the
Beauty in the love of a young
woman to a man whose hands
smelled like herrings and the
tendency to flinch and wish to look
away from the Horror of fire and flesh.
I wish to encapsulate the poems,
prose and summaries of lives,
while still encouraging and
enticing you to read more
vignettes for yourself.
~ Lessons from family are
varied in Luanne Castle’s first,
“Advice from My Forebears.”
Here’s an example,
“Sit on my finger,
nobody ever
fell off.”
~ Second entry will catch
you, grab you, make you wince

That was such a good review to read! ❤
Thanks, Pauline! xo
I’m so honored you reblogged my post, Luanne. Thank you!
I wish more people responded favorably, like Pauline. We have so many friends in common, I had hoped you would have had a burst of visitors.
My brother Randy is finally tucked into my brother and sister-in-law’s home. His head looks better but the many staples will probably hurt when they are taken back out. I love and worry about him. Thank you for caring, Luanne! xo
I’m so glad that Randy is where he will be looked after. He just can’t be on his own because with a head injury he doesn’t know when he needs help :). Hopefully, this is it now and he will recover until he is all better! No worries about the review “turnout,” Robin. I appreciate it so much!!! xoxo
Thank you for your caring and warm comments about my brother, Luanne. xo
I will keep on bringing your books up, sometime again! I finished Ann Field’s review before “winter” officially begins. It’s only a day late from my hopes to have them all on Tuesdays.
Nice review, Robin! Hope that your brother is continuing to improve!
I hope he is, too!
