Country Vet: Thirty Years of Treating Animals and
Trying to Understand Their Owners by Randy L. Skaggs
"This book relays my stories of being a country
veterinarian in a rural area treating all sorts of animals. I have been writing
down my experiences at the office and in the field for thirty years. These
stories are often educational, emotional, humorous and unpredictable, but
always entertaining.
This book is my first effort to share them with a wider
audience. The stories involve working with all kinds of animals but also
involves interacting with their owners. Sometimes the second part has been more
of a challenge than the first which creates for interesting stories." -

Good light reading. It was laugh out loud funny. - CD 5 stars
Listen for the Lie by Amy
Tintera
What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if
everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter? After Lucy
is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy's blood,
everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of
their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy
with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly
loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in
town. It's been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can't remember
anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life. But now
the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast Listen for the Lie, and its
too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy's murder for
the show's second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never
to set foot in again to solve her friend's murder, even if she is the one that
did it. The truth is out there, if we just listen.
This is not my usual genre and it got off to a rough start,
but it was good. - WJ 5 stars
The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a
Human-Centered Planet by John Green
The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans
have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable
symphony of essays, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of
the human-centered planet on a five-star scale--from QWERTY keyboard and
sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Funny, complex, and rich
with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity.
John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection.
The Anthropocene Reviewed is an open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge
and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.
I really enjoyed this book. It was both funny and sad. I loved
it! - MH 5 stars
