The Miss Stone Affair

The Miss Stone Affair: America's First Modern Hostage Crisis | Teresa Carpenter

bailed

I apologize @Cinfhen , first because you sent this to me two years ago and I just now (kind of) read it , and second because alas, I couldn‘t finish it.

This is the well researched account of the first American hostage situation, missionary Ellen Stone in 1901. I‘m sure the hostage situation was fascinating, but the focus was too heavy on the political situation between Bulgaria/Macedonia/Turkey and I got bored with it.

Cinfhen It‘s cool, I couldn‘t make it through either😬In theory it should have been awesome but something was DEFINITELY OFF. Put in in the FLL 😘 3y

Reviewsbylola I made it 100 pages and realized I didn‘t realize even care what happened. At least not enough to read 120 more pages. So I looked up what happened on Wikipedia. 😂 @Cinfhen 3y

I woke up to a wonderful surprise from the amazing @Cinfhen today. The tagged book, a card, and two little goody boxes for Genevieve and Florence. Florence ripped right into hers (the Barbie kinder egg was her first pick!) and Genevieve will be so excited when she sees hers after school! Thank you SO much Cindy! ❤️❤️❤️

Cinfhen Yay!!! See G was right!! YOU do celebrate Chanukah 💜💜💜enjoy 😘😘😘 5y

Miss Stone Affair: America's First Modern Hostage Crisis | Teresa Carpenter

#NoFemmeBer #NonFictionNovember Taken from my shelves and hoping to read in 2019....If this story doesn‘t sound familiar, perhaps you had to be living #UnderARock in 1901 when US Protestant minister, Ellen Stone, was ambushed & taken hostage by armed revolutionaries in Macedonia 😱What should President Theodore Roosevelt do?!?!

Megabooks, Billypar

Megabooks Never heard of this one! Thanks! 5y

Cinfhen It was a #BookOutlet add on @TrishB I was short $1.97 for free shipping and this one was ....you guessed it $1.97! It sounds good. I‘ll let you know xx 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen It really took me getting into audiobooks before I started reading NF frequently. Now I read it in all formats and at least one a month. Usually it‘s more like a third of my total. I‘m doing well this month: all 6 of my finished books are NF! Happy Friday! 😁 5y

TrishB How many times have we done that....😁 5y

Cinfhen Wayyyyy too many @TrishB but sometimes u end up with a good book!! And sometimes you don‘t 😜 5y

Reviewsbylola This sounds fascinating. 5y

Cinfhen I started it the other day @Reviewsbylola I feel like a New Yorker article is probably about enough to get the jist of the story. I‘m happy to send the book your way ❤️ 5y

Reviewsbylola Ok, if you end up liking it I‘ll take it. Or if you hate it but think I‘ll like it. 😆 5y

Cinfhen I probably have your address somewhere but send it to me again @Reviewsbylola xx 5y
