Just got this RABCK in the mail from watchcat! What a sweetie! The subject line in her PM to me (asking for my address) was, "Ant=Aunt?" She said she had something for me and wanted to send it. How sweet is that? She didn't even register it, but let me! Woo Hoo -- look at my numbers grow :)
Thanks again -- can't wait to read it. It looks like something right up my alley.

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.
