pickRead this one back in 2006 but figured I‘d share some faves here. This is a book to be read slowly, a little at a time. Every anecdote and vignette is a life lesson in miniature, but the book never resorts to pontification or blithe nostalgia. It unites believers and non-believers, old and young, men and women in an exquisite tapestry of the human condition. #Pulitzer
pickThis book jumps around a bit, but if you can tolerate that (or just skip the intro chapters) I found it well worth the read. Starting chapter 10 there is some great writing on the issues facing rural ag communities, including: population loss, worldwide immigration, corporate farming practices, pollution and the urgent need for more sustainable solutions. If you want to better understand food, US politics, and climate; read this book.
#14Books14Weeks #LibraryEdition Update. 8/14 is not too shabby. If I focus I might actually finish this one. Considering I have 50+ books on hold at the library this would be awesome.

#14Books14Weeks #OwnedEdition Update 5/14
Doing a little better here but still feeling behind. I‘ve been craving familiar characters and all these books are not only new characters but new authors too. Oh well, maybe I‘ll get over it in August

#14Books14Weeks #ARCEdition Update: Total books read 3/14.
This is not going well. I still have a month but it's shaky. I've ready more from other editions though.

If you know, you know!!!! 🐈😽📚💳
(But, this is what my husband and I refer to as returning books to the library…dropping them off in the Dewey Box)!
And last but not least #14Books14Weeks #OwnedEdition
I‘ll be real. I barely dented this list. But it‘s just July and time to buckle down.

A little check in for my #14Books14Weeks Challenge #ARCEdition
I‘ve only read one book but I have Unforgiven on deck and maybe my randomized will pick more of these in July.
