This book took me a couple months to get through because I listened to it on audio book at the gym and it’s loooong. 30 hrs and 44 mins! But I loved it. This was the best book I’ve read or listened to in quite a while. I loved the narration on the audiobook as well.

I was able to manage a couple all right photos.

Mondays and Tuesdays are still free at The Field Museum so I only had to pay for the special exhibit, Jacqueline Kennedy: White House Years, that I wanted to see. I’m no Kennedy-phile, but the exhibit gave interesting insight into how Jackie presented the Kennedys, as well as America, to the world with her grace and fashionable style.
