Being a California native (and always concerned about water), I picked this book up without knowing anything about it. Totally worth it. I enjoy books that take me to a new world with people different from me. I didn't like the main character, but this talented writer made me want to explore this character and those around her. Loved it.

I felt like I was having a conversation with my father or an older friend. This book was easy to get through. It read like a mini history of the US and lime a autobiography of Rather.

This one took only two days.

Found a #kindle touch at the Goodwill today for $5! I'm way too excited about it. I don't have a lot of Amazon books, but I have some. Mostly it's handy for easy book lending from the library. Unfortunately, the power button doesn't work.

This book is a little bit more about the situation going on around the manuscripts than I expected it would be. Still interesting and inspiring though. #nonfiction #librarians

Cory Doctorow is becoming one of my favorites. So far, none of the short stories I've read in this collection have dissatisfied. I'm taking my time as much as possible, but "After the Siege" was the sort of story that wouldn't let me do anything until I finished it.
