Walk & Read Wednesday
Some recent nature images:
Beautiful First Day of Spring at Stony Creek Metropark, Washington Township, Michigan.
Turkey Vultures Roosting, on my neighborhood walk.
Spring Clouds and Sky
Mango is a Bengal cat; met her last week while walking, and recently gushed to her human dad over how beautiful and sweet she is.
He said he's got two more cats; I look forward to meeting them.
Some recent reads:
Author: Jess Armstrong
Series: Ruby Vaughn
Book 1: The Curse of Penryth Hall
2: The Secret of the Three Fates
3: The Devil in Oxford
"After the Great War, American heiress Ruby Vaughn made a life for herself running a rare bookstore alongside her octogenarian employer and house mate in Exeter. She’s always avoided dwelling on the past, even before the war, but it always has a way of finding her."
So far, the stories have taken place in Cornwall, Scotland, and Oxford.
Book 4 The Lost Souls of St. Oda's is due out this autumn.
My take: Somewhat cozy reads, with an edge; after all, it's got an American in the midst of the English, and there is a touch of magic!
Author: Anne Bishop
Series: Isle of Wyrd
Book 1: Turns of Fate
"Young detective Beth Fahey begins investigating crimes of the uncanny, only to learn that bargains with The Arcana can change your fate—for good or ill."
My take: Had no idea the rabbit-hole the reader willingly heads down as the real world morphs on Wyrd Island. Looking forward to the next book.
Author: Simon Garfield
"Explores the history, impact, and ,cultural significance of typefaces, making typography accessible and interesting to a general audience. Published in 2010, it covers everything from Gutenberg to modern digital fonts."
My take: A dive into a part of our world that is rarely noticed, unless you are a nerd *ahem* who insists on 'typewriter' font for the house address numbers.
All of the above were listened to via library audiobooks.
