pickAs funny as Bill Bryson, as sincere as Barbara Kingsolver, and with goat-hijinks- anyone who wants the human race to survive with enough food for all of us should read this book. I read so many parts out loud to my patient husband, because they were too funny not to share! And if that doesn‘t convince you to pick it up, there are recipes.
pickI quite liked this intriguing novel, one inspired by a true story. I must say that I was not a fan of the writing, but the story of the young, teenage girl living with her father secretly in the woods and what happens when they‘re discovered was fascinating and troubling. The real pair were named Frank and Ruth; I‘ll leave it for those interested to discover where the book and actual events part ways. The whole thing is worth exploring.
pickCaroline is 13. She and her father live in forest park in Portland, moving around so they won‘t be found. But they eventually are, upending their lives. This book didn‘t go where I expected and it left me with questions and thoughts. The story and writing are simplistic, but ultimately I felt it worked.
pickNot my favorite Cole, but there were several things I liked. Great atmosphere, good world building, fully developed characters, and the snowy remote location. Arden and Gabriel were an engaging couple in this post-apocalyptic romance.

Surprisingly, there‘s not much that happens in this post-apocalyptic series, but the romances are fun—and different than what I‘ve read from Cole. #readblackauthors #bookspinbingo
so-soIn the genre of a child living off the grid with a parent, it is a pretty shallow accounting, without soul, beauty, fear, any higher thinking. After having read The Great Alone and Where the Crawdads Sing it was maybe a “meh”. I was so hoping for at least a satisfying ending!
Scrolling through my mail and swore I saw “Anne Patchett Editors Rely On” opened the email to discover it read “Acne Patches Editors Rely On”😬🙈😂😂#LifeOfAReader
