Archaeological & Paleoenvironmental Investigations in the Dutchess Quarry Caves, Orange County, NY
by R.E. Funk & D.W. Steadman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Not an easy read unless you are an archaeologist or student. Interesting how they discovered the signs of prehistoric life (animal & human) through the excavations of this Quarry. Finding fossils and hunting tools. A lot of research was involved and assessed. I don’t necessarily understand the findings but I am fascinated at how there is so much history in Orange County.

Great World
by David Malouf

book cover


This sprawling novel tells the tale of two WWII Australian POWs who develop an unlikely friendship. The novel won awards for its portrayal of how war affects the men who are forced to participate and the families that have to cope with their deep scars after the war. It was vaguely reminiscent of Steinbeck in its descriptions of the hard scrabble settings of the Australian country. I was glad to have learned about this acclaimed author.

This is my first graphic novel. While I liked the story about Raina's life as a teenager - so many things that adults and current middle schoolers can relate to - I would rather have read this book as a chapter book.

Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

Really enjoyed this! Some speculative elements that I wish got more cerebral, but maybe the end just wasn't for me
