Why in the HECK did I wait 28+ years to start reading this book?!!
The movie has always been one of my absolute favorites. My sisters and I can almost recite the entire thing line by line. I guess I just assumed the book just couldn't compare to the richness of the film. Well, Fiddle-dee-dee! I should've known -- are movies ever really better than the books they're based on?
So ... you'll understand why, instead of posting about the swimming lesson that we arrived a week early for (go ahead and laugh), I'm going to use Tanner's nap time to snuggle up on the couch with this delicious novel and read about Scarlett, Rhett, Melanie, and Ashley until my heart's content!

I read it for the first time a fews years ago and loved it. Then I watched the movie and was disappointed, so it's good that you're doing it this way!
I've never thought of READING the book! Ha! I've seen the movie several times, but not for several years now. Don't worry about showing up for swim lessons a week early. At least you were a week early and not a week late!
I second elso's comment--I read (rather devoured) the book first and then saw the movie and was sorely disappointed! Oh well! I guess that's a good reason to go back and read it again... Enjoy!
Hey Rachel! I got your message on my blog--I "highlight" all of the recipes that I have online on my blog, so if you click on the pot-pie, it will take you to the recipe. The only thing I do different to it, is I do an egg wash on the crust. It's so yummy :)!
