Commentary In Favor Of Books The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels
"That's when I saw him—the cowboy—across the smoky room."I'll never forget that night. It was like a romance novel, an old Broadway musical, and a John Wayne western rolled into one. Out for a quick drink with friends, I wasn't looking to meet anyone, let alone a tall, rugged cowboy who lived on a cattle ranch miles away from my cultured, corporate hometown. But before I knew it, I'd been struck with a lightning bolt . . . and I was completely powerless to stop it.
Read along as I recount the rip-roaring details of my unlikely romance with a chaps-wearing cowboy, from the early days of our courtship (complete with cows, horses, prairie fire, and passion) all the way through the first year of our marriage, which would be filled with more challenge and strife—and manure—than I ever could have expected.
This isn't just my love story; it's a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet.
It's the story of a cowboy.
And Wranglers.
And chaps.
And the girl who fell in love with them.

i just recently discovered thepioneerwoman.com website/blog. so i was really interested in how ree drummond got her "city" self onto this ranch in the middle of nowhere! i HAD to read this book! ;)the book is very "real". she writes about the feelings & the happenings & the unexpected crap that everyone goes through in their lives, and about how you deal with it or how you don't...she had a lot of things going on in her life, and she got a lot of "stuff dumped on her" in a short amountThis was the perfect diversion to normal life. I loved it. I love her and I love Marlboro man. I can't wait for this to become a movie. Some of the reviews are harsh, so I do advise perusing her blog before reading the book to get who she is. Maybe you won't like it still, but I found her totally relatable, like I was sitting and listening to a good friend and wished I could have swapped stories of dating, courtship, embarrasing moments, and babies.....so read it and lets chat.
This book was a biography written by Ree Drummond about how she met and fell in love with her husband. She writes a popular blog where she talks about her daily life, gives some recipes, and various other interesting facts about living on a ranch.I used to read non-fiction almost exclusively before I found fiction authors and a genre that I really enjoyed reading. Going back to anything reality-based at this point is a struggle for me, but I really wanted to give this book a shot. It looked
I really wanted to like this book. After all, Ree Drummond is not only a beautiful blogtographer, but she is also the creator of the most delicious breakfast casserole I have ever tasted in my life. But. This book was terrible. So terrible, in fact, that I would have jumped ship after 50 pages had it not been this month's book club selection. Every chapter was an endless, repetitive, gushing, soft-porny account of how the blogess was rescued from her (short-lived) California-vegetarian-feminist
I wish there was an option for negative stars as this book definitely does not deserve a single star. It was beyond horrible. She writes like a 12 year old girl and comes off as a self absorbed prima donna. She runs over her dog without any grief, her parents divorce (when she was 27) and its all about her. Then the fact that she is so overly dramatic about everything. She's sick the first day of her honeymoon and its oh my husband is going to leave me and fly back to the US. It was just
My goodness! I have read some of the other reviews of this book and am amazed how much vitriol and hatred is out there about such a harmless innocuous book. I recently discovered the Pioneer Woman for myself, after knowing my daughter had been a fan of her blog for years. I don't spend a lot of time reading cooking blogs( or any blogs for that matter) but then one day I caught her show on the Food network and got hooked. I watched several episodes( they were repeats by the time I learned about
Once again more proof that bloggers aren't necessarily book authors. Blog reading is free so one can be generous with the quality of writing and storytelling. Ree's problem, is not that she can't write, but like many bloggers-turned-authors, is that she didn't write book but strung blog posts together and added some new material. The last third of BHtTW is the best written section, most likely because wasn't originally a series of blog posts, polished up and presented between a book binding.
