Books

For those who know me, in the last many years I have been much more apt to listen to a book on tape than pick up real paper and type to read. However, since I have been at home, no longer tethered to a microscope for a good part of any week... and have had a few books in hand, just a record of the really good'uns...

Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shores... such a beautiful love story around the building of the Taj Mahal

Having Faith by Sandra Steingraber ... just finished this, terrifying and fascinating journey of motherhood from the view of an ecologist with a heavy toxicology bent (the scary part)

The Ghost Map by Steve Johnson ... story of the Cholera outbreak in London. Really cool detective work

The American Horticultural Society Pruning and Training ... well, just so informative and emboldened me to take on our yard with the awesome new pruning tools Auntie Gigi gave me

The Creative Family by Amanda Soule .... just a great reminder to appreciate time with the kiddos and how to do it so that it is fun and fascinating for everyone!
