Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly

I'm enjoying it, and while I am looking forward to seeing the movie I think this will be another case where the book is much better than the movie.

(Paperback is being released Dec 6th)

The Year of Voting Dangerously: by Maureen Dowd

I like her writing style especially her OP EDS in the NYT but this is the first book of her's I've read.

After hearing her on Seth Meyers the other night I think it's going to be something I'll enjoy!

My close family & best friend gave me a current issue of Taproot magazine. The magazine is published in the state of Vermont, which features articles and stories about food, plant life, homesteading, art, and numerous other subjective and objective topics of interest. I am currently reading an article about a Pacific Northwest couple who homestead for a living, with interest for bee keeping and harvest of honey. Title of the article is: Sweet As Honey.

I highly recommend this magazine because the style of writing and subject interest is exceptionally outstanding, very enjoyable.

I started reading All the light We Cannot See.

One of the tellers at my bank read it and loved it. I don't read enough fiction and it's always good to find something that keeps my interest.

So far so good.

I read that book, not long ago.
The story is well crafted . I don't know exactly how to describe it without spoiling it for you, but I really liked how various strands of the story were woven together. Metaphor, tons of metaphor. I kept the book too, rather than trade it in for another book. I hope you really enjoy the book --- All The Light We Cannot See.

I am reading Fern Michaels Sisterhood Series. I'm six books in and I'm enjoying them immensely. They are easy and fun reads.
