I feel like this one is closer to the the first three in the series. Lots of characters and subplots to keep track of but definitely entertaining! Looking forward to more adventures with Lisbeth, Svala, Blomkvist and of course the evil monster who will very likely make a return appearance.I feel like this one is closer to the the first three in the series.

An interesting look at life from the perspective of a dog! I can look back and see the confusing signals we send to our pets on how to "behave" according to our rules and not their natural instincts!

As I began this book I wasn't sure I was ready to read about the early days of the pandemic but Strout captured it so beautifully I continued to read. In general I enjoy the Olive Kitteridge stories more but Lucy and her family are certainly interesting as well.As I began this book I wasn't sure I was ready to read about the early days of the pandemic but Strout captured it so beautifully I continued to read.

I've been a Pollan fan for some time. In fact his early books lead me to retire from the food industry and focus on volunteering with an organization that focused on teaching people, especially children about whole foods. Always easy to read and packed with information. Now trying to limit my coffee consumption to one cup in the morning!!I've been a Pollan fan for some time.

Westerns are not my typical genre but this one is just quirky enough to be a great read! The reference to Miss Kitty from pozrob made me laugh!

Others are waiting so will return. Not sure I will return to it, a bit of a slow read unlike Tuesday's with Morrie.

At several points I wondered why I continued to read this one. If there was ever a place for "get a life" it would be for the protagonist in this one.

Although there was nothing wrong with the writing and the subject matter was interesting, it simply didn't pull me in the way some books of the same genre do.

The subject is intriguing and many of the points are interesting but I found the writing to be just ok. I also found that the book that he co-authored with his famous aunt was not as rich as others written about her life. I also found it a bit off putting that he felt it necessary to had his own twists to recipes. It's meant to be a historical record not a cookbook!The subject is intriguing and many of the points are interesting but I found the writing to be just ok.

Not sure how many times I read Little Women but definitely recall most of the foods that were recreated for this lovely book. My favorite was the Blanc-Mange for Laurie because it sounded so comforting and foreign at the same time. Yes I am a Jo!!!
