The Ground Beneath Us: From the Oldest Cities to the Last Wilderness, What Dirt Tells Us About Who We Are

This is a fascinating book about the soil we use for our homes, gardens, etc. and how our use of the land is changing and harming our plan et. It was astonishing to me how much of the U.S. and the world are hidden by concrete and "lawn".

Girl In Pieces - Kathleen Glasgow
A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas

I just finished book 3 of the crossfire series and Verity by colleen hoover.

Here's a lovely romance, fiction/non-fiction novel of mine...

"War was waging in Iraq
Her heart led her to the front line just like that.
After all, they say nurses have courage
Little did she know, her life would soon be ravaged.

Bombs didn’t scare Lana when she was there
But mania altered her mind nearly beyond repair.
Savor one more kiss, for the final time
She’s leaving you either way, don’t sigh.

Stethoscopes don’t heal
The way bubbles do.
It’s the love I have for you
That remains unrevealed.

You decided against me so you’ll never know
If psychosis stops me, that’s the end of this show."

Check out more of my latest novel, "Deeds, Not Words:
A Story About Iraq, Love, and Mania" here: https://a.co/d/0rUMNky
