The Adventures of Henry Thoreau by Michael Sims
It's basically a biography about H.D. Thoreau's childhood. I found the first chapter very choppy and disjointed. But I kept reading and it's as though the author either 1. had the first chapter written by someone else or 2. finally got a compass and found his way. I've only just begun, but it is very interesting to see what fueled the fire of this man.

"Children and Household Tales or Grimm's Fairy Tales Volume 1" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
These are the real, bloody, scary tales not the sweetened up watered down Disney versions. I am loving them although some are disturbing.

Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing
Christine Northrup, M.D. ....and on the lighter side.... rereading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver I think I should reread this book every year in the early Spring. It's been a true guide and inspiration. |

A Tree Grows in Brooklynn by Betty Smith...
I know this is a favorite assignment for English teachers. I'm not sure how Ive avoided it this long....I've just begun it (my employers told me I can read anything of theirs during down time...so Im enjoying different things) but I do like it thus far. Wonderful imagery describing a bygone Brooklyn

Little Wilson and Big God by Anthony Burgess. Pretty entertaining. Sort of disappointing. Sometimes it's better not to know too much about writers you like.

I remember reading this when I was like 11 and I read it in the last few years because I found the book on my office bookshelf when we were moving the office. It does go on my list of 10 favorites. I remember the movie, too, it is moving and upsetting but good

I read "the wind through the keyhole" I am an avid Stephen King reader. I have quite a collection (not as many as I use to though) and on that note I am reading "Doctor Sleep" by Stephen King

LOVE IS ENOUGH
My second book, Love Is Enough, is now available on [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Enough-Cindy-Rizzo-ebook/dp/B00NN1RF4M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410977618&sr=8-3&keywords=cindy+rizzo"]Amazon[/ame] and [ame="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/475496"]Smashwords[/ame].
The two main characters are a butch-femme couple. The butch's best friend is a trans man. Synopsis - Love Is Enough Angie Antonelli has the life she’s always wanted—a promising political career, a supportive family, and great friends. The one thing missing is what she hoped she’d have by now, a committed relationship with the woman of her dreams. Jan Clifford has been taking a break from dating while she figures out how to create a life that is more fulfilling than the country club society of her parents and her job in the family’s investment firm. When Angie and Jan are set up on a blind date to go sailing, the chemistry is immediate and the attraction undeniable, but each wonders if she can really fit into the other’s world. Can the politician who fights for the little guy make things work with the financier who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth? Before it has time to get very far, this new relationship is put to the test. First, Angie must decide how she really feels when the woman who broke her heart many years ago suddenly comes back into her life. And then the worlds of politics and finance collide when Jan refuses to walk away from a business deal that threatens Angie’s re-election to a second term in Congress. Can the intense connection they feel keep Angie and Jan together? Only hopeless romantics believe that love is enough. Or is it? From the author of the award-winning debut novel, Exception to the Rule, Cindy Rizzo once again delivers a riveting story that blends romance with the important issues of our time. |

Gone Girl: A novel
By Gillian Flynn. This month's selection for a local lesbian book club. I hesitated getting it as I know the movie is coming out soon but it is good.
