The flowers are from a hike in Steven's Creek Park
-by Terry Pratchet-continuing to work my way through the Discworld
Mort: Death gets an apprentice, trouble ensues.
Sourcery: Wizard magic vs Sourcer magic-leave Rincewind and the Luggage in a cliffhanger.
Pyramids: I wanted to learn more about the Assassins Guild...hope that is in a later book.
Guards! Guards!: Intro to The Watch and Sam Vimes, started a little on the down side but I really like how it ended. Also, love The Librarian!
Eric: Good fun but not my fav.
Miner's Lettuce-we all had to try a bit-not bad!
Graphic novels/comics
Ms Marvel, 1-2: Excellent!!
Hardy Boys: oof, this is not really good, entertaining and short, but...I don't need the next one.
Kurosagi Corpse Delivery: Big book 1, vol. 1-3: The neighbor has been devouring these. Totally well written, but a little too gross for me to read a lot.
-by Ian Flemming
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: I love this from my childhood and had to re-read it....and then realized I was missing the last 20 paged-had to order a used copy that looks alike to finish-phew!
Lets Talk About Diabetes With Owls: listened to this as an audio book read by the author-excellent. Not as funny as his first books, but worth hearing.
-by Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children: Has been on my list to read for years-finally! Nicely written, keeps you moving along. Good mix of a standard coming of age with supernatural.
-by Susan Cain
Quiet: I am a little late to this and so maybe I have already heard all the best parts from other folks/internet, but it felt like it could use a little editing. But the content is excellent and good to think about.

Jar City: Mystery set in Reykjavik! I think I read it a couple years ago, but no harm in a good re-read.
-by Gregory McGuire
After Alice: meh. I love the concept of the rework of a classic story and I even like that this is from the POV who follows Alice. I still didn't love it, I find his writing hit or miss....and yet I continue readying them.
-by Lee Jackson
Dirty Old London The Fight Against Filth: The history of how we collectively get rid of our waste when we start being urban beings. Super interesting-everything from horse waste, people waste, corpses, ash.
The Hobbit: Did this by audio book on a long road trip. Obviously excellent.
-by Deborah Howe
Bunnicula: Also audio book on the road trip. I remember this from my youth and it didn't disappoint!
