Very fun! Definitely re-living the Twilight days, but at an adult level and Jacob is the winner. Wouldn’t say that this book is winning any awards - but a very entertaining way to spend time!
The Woman Who Stole My Life
by Marian Keyes

Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!
Archaeological & Paleoenvironmental Investigations in the Dutchess Quarry Caves, Orange County, NY
by R.E. Funk & D.W. Steadman

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.

4 stars. I have finally gotten around to reading this book after and it didn’t disappoint. Great chapter building and twist at the end!
Yesteryear

I had to see whether this book lived up to the hype and chose it as my beach read. I was sorely disappointed with the lack of depth with the characters. So many stereo-types! There just wasn't enough satire here for me to make all the extremely unlikable characters more interesting. The ending made no sense at all, and it felt like the author chose the topic of "trad wives" because of the zeitgeist of the time, but failed to deliver a novel that really had anything to say. So disappointing!

Bittersweet—-Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. The cruelty of societal racism (especially by the very wealthy) that the characters had to bear was painfully sad to read, but the simple joys in life that they held onto and finding home” was heartwarming. Morrison was able tell the story in a beautiful poetic way.
Into The Uncut Grass

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.
