Review: East of the Sun by Julia Gregson
East of the Sun was unlike anything I was expecting. Falling in the category of what I would ordinarily call “chick lit” I didn’t expect to enjoy much less finish this book so quickly. However, once I had read a few chapters, I found this book hard to put down.
Set in India in the 1920’s, [...]

My daughters best friend had this [...]

Waiting for Coyote’s Call by Jerry Wilson
Waiting for Coyote’s Call was an interesting eco-memoir (new genre for me!) written by Jerry Wilson detailing his homesteading experience on a bluff in southeastern South Dakota.
Mr. Wilson makes heavy reference to Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold, so if you are a fan of their works, efforts, and beliefs, then this book will be [...]
