I finished 'Once Upon A Flock:Life with My Soulful Chickens' by Lauren Scheuer,and LOVED,LOVED,LOVED IT! It has been added to my list of favorite reads.
Now starting The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror by Philip Marshall a government conspiracy book,as I have stated before I am an AVID conspiracy theorist!
A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman. I guess that's because I'm fond of the Middle Ages; Connie Willis' Doomsday Book is my favorite. Anyone knows a similar book set in the Middle Ages apart from Ivanhoe? Modern writers preferably.
I just read A Distant Mirror at the same time I was reading Ken Follett's World Without End (the sequel to Pillars of the Earth). I really enjoyed reading the non-fiction at the same time as the fiction about the same period. But since Distant Mirror was so long, I finished World Without End too soon. So then I picked up Eifelheim by Michael Flynn. I REALLY enjoyed reading both books concurrently. Yes, Eifelheim involves extra-terrestrials landing on earth in a small village in the 14th century, but it's actually a well written book with tons of historical detail from the time period. It was cool to read them both together.
Finally finished The Charm School by Nelson Demille. It was a good read (I think he's a good author), but I'm happy to be done with it. Now I am reading we were liars by e lockhart. Feels good to read something less intense.
I really really need to start her Outlander series. I am so far behind
If/When you do, remember this little bit. The first book starts a little slow. Not a bad slow but it's sort of humdrum. Then, the stones. Then, it is soooooo awesome!
