Starting a new list with: A

I finished W for Water with Near the Forest, By the Lake: Discovering Nature Close to Home by Angela E. Douglas. It was one of the best nature essay books I've read - I kept sharing what I read with friends, so several of them have put I orders for when it comes out.

Next Up: B

Thanks Teri! Sounds like your W book was lovely. Enjoyed your review.

The Singing of the Dead (Kate Shugak #11), by Dana Stabenow, finished 4/17/25 ★★★★

I'll take B for boat


Next up : C

Thanks for the update Barb! You have me worried with your comment. I'm only read three of that series and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Sorry LOL Apparently what really got to me didn't affect many other readers, so it might not affect you the way it did me. Do yourself a favor, though - don't read the other reviews on GR before you read the book. Many of them give away a major part of the story :(

All that said, it only took one more book in the series to restore my good faith in the author, and now I'm eager to keep reading more :)

Finished T for Tongue
Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman (04/14/25)

*off to verify* Yes, it was #9 in the series. If you're like me, by the time you reach that point, you may even forget we had this discussion :)

Finished B for boat. These books are always so good, but I rarely ever figure out the who *and the why in the same book!
