I just got through with "The Butterfly Garden" by Dot Hutchison.
Meh. It was entertaining enough and the plot was decent but I just wasn't connected to the characters. Very reminiscent of "Kiss the Girls" and the ending was kinda...meh. Still, I'd recommend it if you wanted something that would entertain you but not grab you by the throat and choke you for the entire book.

The 4 Percent Universe by Richard Panek. Popular science -- written by a journalist. Good.
Changes by Jim Butcher. Fantasy fiction. OK. Kinda tired of the character.

I've been reading lighter reading materials, lately. I bought two magazines, the latest issues of Taproot (such a great read: cuisine, crafting, gardening, cultural goodness), and a reissued collectors edition by Vanity Fair on the Kennedy's.
The other magazines are local editions of reading materials featuring travel recommendations, fine dining, eclectic foodie adventures, best neighborhoods, and life (in general). And, Condé Nast Traveler, the January issue, which features interesting places to visit in the Hawaiian Islands, Barbados, hidden beaches, and The Chilean Andes. Best magazine, out of all of the ones I'm reading, turns out to be two: Northwest Travel & Life, and Taproot. I highly recommend both periodicals.

"The Help"
Warning: triggers
I found the following article at The Atlantic. I think this, or a form of this brutality, happens more often in the States than is reported—particularly with immigrants from all over the world. My Family’s Slave, by Alex Tizon She lived with us for 56 years. She raised me and my siblings without pay. I was 11, a typical American kid, before I realized who she was. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...-story/524490/ |

The Girl in the Leaves
Scott, an experienced true-crime writer, chronicles the bizarre and shocking true story of 13-year-old Sarah Maynard, who was the lone survivor in a crazed killer's spree that occurred in Apple Valley, Ohio, in the fall of 2010. Available in a tall Premium Edition. Original., THE STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE MASS MURDERS EVER RECORDED. AND THE GIRL WHO ESCAPED WITH HER LIFE. In the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered. On the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood "weirdo" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others. Then came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing--a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable wickedness. Product Identifiers ISBN-10 0425258823 ISBN-13 9780425258828 Key Details Author Larry Maynard, Robert Scott, Sarah Maynard
