I just ordered: My Side of the Mountain Trilogy (My Side of the Mountain / On the Far Side of the Mountain / Frightful's Mountain)
by Jean Craighead George

My nieces and I were discussing this book series last weekend. Their recent enjoyment of the series means that I have to read it again, and remember why My Side of the Mountain was my favorite book as a child.

headhunters - jo nesbø

a decent commuter read
starts out very intriguing but requires some suspension of disbelief to resolve itself

I just finished Gillian Flynn's Girl Gone. Save your time and money!

I'm now starting a book called Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

I am rereading The Riddle of Gender: Science, Activism, and Transgender Rights by Deborah Rudacille. I read this about 7 years ago when it came out, it made a big impact in my life and my transitioning. There are so many other books I could reread and add to this list.

Sadly, I havent been very excited about starting any new books in a long while...other than the Judy Blume one....however...today Teddy surprised me with a visit to my fave used bookstore and i found a gem....
A Country Year: Living the Questionsby Sue Hubbell. its about a woman in her 50s who spends an entire year living alone in the Ozarks. It reminds me of another book I loved, A Year in the Maine Woods by Bernd Heinrich

I read a tiny little book called Fup this morning. By Jim Dodge. Set in rural Northern CA, where I am. It apparently is widely loved, but I wasn't crazy about it. It was sort of an adult Old Yeller with a surprise magical realism ending. This is the second book published by Heyday Books that I have read. I didn't love either of them.
