Friday Book Review
(Rosemary photo by Steven P. Rawley)
Hello cats and kittens,
We’re having false spring in Oregon, it’s beautiful. But the rains will return this weekend, looks like. February showers/March flowers around here.
How about another book review? Or maybe just a fast round-up? Spring brings us a new crop of releases, they’re popping up all over like the snowdrops in my yard. No rosemary, though, the chickens destroyed it for fun, along with the strawberries, the succulents and whatever else they could dig their claws into. Here are the titles I’m reading currently:
Everything by Maira Kalman, as usually. “The Principles of Uncertainly,” “Next Stop Grand Central,” “Sayonara, Mrs. Kackleman” and on and on. I love that woman and her amazing art.
“How a King Plays: 64 Chess Tips from a Kid Champion” by Oliver Boydell
“Original Sisters” by Anita Kunz
“Explosive Eighteen” by my girl Janet Evanovich (one of my faves in the Stephanie Plum series)
“Living Beyond Borders: Growing Up Mexican in America,” edited by Margarita Longoria (great collection of stories, comics and poems, so brilliant and much needed)
“How to Live. What to Do: In Search of Ourselves in Life and Literature,” by Josh Cohen
Bon appetit, babies! Have a great weekend. Read, read, read.
