I read this book shortly after I got it, and then I got sidetracked and never wrote my journal entry on it. *sigh* I never did like writing book reviews!

I did leave bookmarks in a couple of spots -- let's see if I remember what I liked on those pages :)

In A Troublemaker Tells Secrets, I loved the opening line: "It is an immutable law of families that the person the adults hate the most, the kids love the best. ... [Aunt Elizabeth] refused to speak to us as children ... Aunt Elizabet was the most grown-up person we knew."

OK -- I looked at all the bookmarked pages, and am not sure what I was marking on each. What I do remember is that I loved this book, and reading each short story/essay made me want to be a better aunt, and most of them made me sniffly, too.

I'm sending this off to ResQgeek's aunt -- one ant to another.
