Small Gods

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

“On March 12th, my favorite author, Terry Pratchett, departed this world, hopefully accompanied by the Death whom he wrote about with humor and eloquence. It seems like the right time to face out Small Gods, my favorite book in his Discworld series. With the combination of piercing satire and and joyful, unbridled silliness that was …

Maggie, David, and Leigh Ann at Book N Brush in Chehalis, WA

On the Road with Maggie & Leigh Ann

                Day 2 Wednesday March 25 We woke Wednesday in misty Astoria wondering what day it was. The numerous bookstores we visited on our first day on the road made it seem like it must be well beyond the actual 24 hours spent so far. Assured by our …

Wish by Matthew Cordell

Wish by Matthew Cordell

I enjoyed this sweet book about two elephants who wish for a child. The child doesn’t come so they move forward all the while still longing. In the end a child does come. It’s a good reminder families form in many different ways. The illustrations are full of movement and and reminiscent of Ludwig Bemelman’s …

The Untold

The Untold by Courtney Collins

The protagonist’s dead baby doesn’t sound like a typical narrator. But, it certainly intrigued me. Plus, I’m a sucker for any and all horse books. I picked it up not knowing what to expect. I enjoyed this tale of Elizabeth Jesse Hickman, a female Australian cattle rustler. She reminded me a bit of Annie Oakley. …

The Forest Feast

The Forest Feast by Erin Gleeson

The Forest Feast is on my Loveliest Of Cookbooks list. My husband and I have dabbled in semi-quasi-partial vegetarianism (say that three times fast). Translated that is we tend to eat less meat than we used to. I do, however, get weary of thinking of ways to jazz up a salad or veggie side dish. This is a …

Waldo Shop Local

Where’s Waldo This Summer?

Communities all over the country are using Where’s Waldo to promote local businesses. Waldo-seekers pick up a passport, then go from shop to shop finding Waldo cut-outs (and a bonus of his dog, Woof in some places!) throughout the month of July. Most venues will hold a big Waldo party at the end of the …

Walking the Amazon by Ed Stafford

I picked this up when I last visited Inklings Bookshop in Yakima (along with an armful of other wonderful books), but I finally got around to reading it on my recent trip to Brazil. What a perfect read for the trip! Ed and his friend Luke, experienced expeditioners, decided to travel the entire Amazon River— …

Can't Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg

Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven
by Fannie Flagg

The very funny Fannie Flagg has had a long and interesting career. She worked as a staff writer for Candid Camera and was an actress on TV and film. You probably need to be at least my age to remember her witty participation on Match Game or anything else she was in, but you may …
