Today‘s haiku is inspired by this breathtaking view on my flight from Boise to Portland. It‘s a view that gives me a feeling of home even after 24 years in Hawaii. Lucky to be spending the weekend at my sister‘s hanging out with family.
Mountain of legend
Snow-spotted peaks rise above
Lush verdant valleys

I would love to visit and enjoy the delicious coffee and treats from Torte the bakeshop in the bakeshop mystery series by Ellie Alexander!

I got behind so here‘s yesterday‘s #Dream prompt. I often dream of food so these 5 books on my shelves are either foodie novels or cookbooks. 🍽️
This book looks at numerous disasters through Oregon history (mostly natural) and tells each story in brief. I enjoyed it but do wish it had been a bit meatier. It‘s a good nonfiction companion piece to Tilt, which depicts the coming at some point Cascadia event.
I was surprised by the pedestrian writing in this book. After 20 pages, I looked to see if it‘s tagged YA. Nope. Maybe it's a debut novel? Again, no. I kept going, but my eyeballs continued rolling. Several plot points strained credibility. Was I supposed to believe that a 6-year-old child who had received almost no education could read and understand a book with words like "indigenous" and "captivity"? In the end, this book disappointed me.
Good short tale of hoarding and value of things with romance. Graphic novels go fast! Well drawn.
