Things on Thursday: Pioneer Woman's Love Story
Here's the book I read earlier this week. Black Heels to Tractor Wheels is the unashamedly romantic story of how a city girl meets and falls head over black heels in love with a cowboy. The book wallows in the giggly silliness of love without making me want to gag in the least. But then, I'm a long-time fan of The Pioneer Woman blog, so I'm hardly objective about anything she does. She writes in the same breezy, informal, self-deprecating style of her blog. If you're looking for Literature with a capital L, look elsewhere...this is a bodice ripping romance told by your best friend over coffee in a country kitchen...or at least that's how it feels.

Thanks for the suggestion Susan...I'll have to check out this book...I've been looking for a new author or two!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I'll be eager to read it. Thanks so much for suggesting it.
ReplyDeleteI love PW, and have been wanting to read her book. I also love to read your essays here, so your book review is kind of a win-win for me! Gotta say, I wouldn't have expected a Medieval Literature Prof to enjoy a fluffy book like this. Thanks for not being one of those literary snobs :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard about Pioneer Woman on a few blogs but don't really know who she is. Maybe I'll have to get this book (or perhaps her blog) and have a read.
ReplyDeleteWe must have been separated at birth. Love her blog too! I got her cookbook for christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of this just arrived last week. I'm about 100 pages into the 7th Harry Potter book....can't start P-Dub's book until I'm done. As much as I've LOVED reading the Harry Potter series (and I've loved it TONS), I can't wait to start Black Heels to Tractor Wheels!! I read everything she wrote on her blog, as she was writing it. Can't wait to get to the rest of the story!! ;o)
