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.

Southern Lady Code

This had me laughing throughout! Her Southern accent and conversational storytelling was great. Although, she did talk a little too fast at times so it was difficult to catch what she was saying at times. Whether you are a “Southern lady” or not, it is very relatable & very entertaining!

Uncomfortable but entertaining is a good way to describe this book. I wish there was more explanation with characters at the end but I did enjoy how the story ended. Almost wanting more, so many questions not answered.

Venin are among us and take who we least expect. When true love is worth more to you than your own soul you know you are in deep water. Friends die and enemies who you thought were dead are not. War college gets dismantled and the real revelations begin.

This is a sweet children's book. It reminded me of "Where the Wild Things Are" with a little boy who wants to "get away from it all." I enjoyed the lovely watercolor illustrations.

I’ve enjoyed her historical fictions but this one just didn’t do it for me. Found myself skimming through the end just to finish it.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Saw the movie first because the ebook had a wait list. Movie was great with Audrey Hepburn. Loved her carefree fun personality. She had her past challenges in life but she was a fighter. Loved this! The beginning of the book was not part of the movie, but the rest of it pretty much followed it. It was more of a fun read than I thought it would be.

Short and absolutely like an episode of looney tunes

The Skull

book cover


This book is recommended for grade 1 - 4, ages 6-9. It is formatted as a chapter book. I thought it was dark for a children's book. I've read this author before and he often has an unusual twist in his stories. I felt like a 6 year would be a little scared after reading this book. I would recommend for older kids.
