LILY AND THE OCTOPUS BY STEVEN ROWLEY
This is a quirky one and not for the reader who likes things straight forward. Which, I realized is ‘kinda’ me? I spent most of the book annoyed at the slight immaturity of Ted and how it seemed like things were happening to him rather than Lily. Yet – I balance it with, who am I to judge how people deal…

THE SECRET ADVERSARY BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
Let me start by saying, I read this via audio book. Although I loved the speaker, I felt I was missing something by not holding a used paperback book while reading. That feeling, the pages, the smell were lost and I really believe it would have added to the reading experience. Now – big…

ANGEL FALLS BY KRISTIN HANNAH

CREATIVE ADVENTURING: A FIELD GUIDE FOR AN INSPIRED LIFE BY JONATHAN BITZ
A cute ‘how to’ parent book. Although I don’t have kids, I appreciated the advice Bitz gives. To summarize, it feels like he is telling parents to be chill but adventurous. I loved it. Very sensible advice. Great ideas of how to get out there, that doesn’t involve sticking an iPad in front of your kid’s face. …

INTO THE WILD BY JON KRAKAUER
Into the Wild the book is a lengthy expose on the article that the author wrote earlier. The article was just the tip of the iceberg for Krakauer and I believe he got obsessed and couldn’t stop with just the article. He’s expanded on his thoughts, other’s stories and some clarifications he wanted to make since the article,…
