Anything by David Paulides. Also checking out his stuff on YouTube.
I have been very interested about missing people lately ever since a woman that I knew disappeared without a trace a few months back. She had been walking a route she normally took every other evening,this time with a friends dog.She never made it home this time.There was a huge search for her and lots of media attention.The dog came back home a couple days later. The case went cold after a few weeks and now everyone that knew her calls it a tragic mystery because the missing woman was friendly and did lots of charity work in the community and who would want to hurt such a person.Sad when I think about her because I knew her for ten years.No body, no clues, she just vanished off the face of the earth.It disturbs me greatly what happen to her.

Default Sharp Objects....

because the mini series starts Sunday and most times the book gives more detailed information than the television production! Even tho this book ended up on the New York Times best sellers list, I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy it or not..time will tell!

Reporter Camille Preaker returns to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls; Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims while trying to solve a psychological puzzle from her past.

The Hundred-Year House by Rebecca Makkai



The novel begins in 1999 and moves backwards through the history of Laurelfield, a large stately home belonging to the Devohrs. The house has morphed over the years from family residence to a beloved art colony and back again. The first and longest section of the novel deals with Laurelfield's most contemporary permutation.

I am about half way in and I'm enjoying this book immensely............

I started.reading Hiking Through by Paul Stutzman

It's about a man's travels on the Appalachian Trail and his reasons for making the journey.

He's a little preachy and God-dy but I think the story is worth the side bars.

Mamen Sánchez, author of NYT's bestseller Under The Tuscan Sun, recently had her book The Altogether Unexpected Disappearance Of Atticus Craftsman, translated from Spanish to English, two years ago.

I loved the first book I read, so I picked up TAUDOAC @ Powell's today, for my next summer beach read.

Here's an link to an review of her latest book:

Oh mY, the Weapons of Math Destruction (2016) looks like an interesting read, d_c. I'm not surprised though, that the book was Long Listed. We can't have people learning about how inequality is perpetuated via technology (Sarcasm).

I bet the other book is enlightening too. I'd certainly be interested in your take concerning both books.

Cheers,

Tell It To The Bees by Fiona Shaw

I finally got my hands on a copy of this!

A secret love which has a whole town talking... and a 10 year old boy very worried.
Lydia Weekes is distraught at the break-up of her marriage. When her young son, Charlie, makes friends with the local doctor, Jean Markham, her life is turned upside down. Charlie tells his secrets to no one but the bees!

I'm about a 100 pages in and it's not moving as fast as I hoped it would.

Sidebar: Tell It to the Bees is an upcoming British drama film as well directed by Annabel Jankel. The screenplay, written by Henrietta Ashworth and Jessica Ashworth, is based on the 2009 novel of the same name. It stars Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger.

Ignition! by John D. Clark

If you ever thought that the hard part of rocketry was the mathematics required to calculate trajectories (it really isn't!), then reading this wry, interesting and amusing book (originally published in 1972 and long out of print until recently) should disabuse you of the notion fairly quickly. Clark gives a fun and very readable history of the development of rocket fuels in his book, and an insight into the personalties involved.

Describing a substance that is highly toxic, highly corrosive, unstable and with such a godawful smell that it could still be detected on-site decades after it was test-fired as having the virtue that it was a reliable quick hypergolic (burns on contact with its oxidiser) may give you some idea of just how insane (as well as highly intelligent!) the early rocket fuel engineers and chemists were.

Reccomended for anyone that likes reading about science in general, and rocketry-related things in particular. A classic!

I'll never look at bran-flakes and alcohol the same way again...

Weapons of Math Destruction was highly informative and went fast. The most immediately shocking thing i learned is how often your zip code stands in for your race, health, criminality, or creditworthiness.

Companies will substitute your zip code anywhere it is illegal to use race, health, criminality, or creditworthiness and use it drive decisions about jobs, housing, insurance, or finance-- essentially assuming that your history and habits will be the same as the average of all of your neighbors.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post made a good start at lifting the curtain on the make-you-straight camps but i think it could have hit harder. It was written for YA though.

With eyes:
Homegoing is the debut historical fiction novel by Yaa Gyasi, published in 2016. Each chapter in the novel follows a different descendant of an Asante woman named Maame, starting with her two daughters, separated by circumstance: Effia marries James Collins, the British governor in charge of Cape Coast Castle, while her half-sister Esi is held captive in the dungeons below. Subsequent chapters follow their children and following generations.
With Ears:
Reconstructing the Gospel: Finding Freedom from Slaveholder Religion. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove grew up in the Bible Belt in the American South as a faithful church-going Christian. But he gradually came to realize that the gospel his Christianity proclaimed was not good news for everybody. The same Christianity that sang "Amazing Grace" also perpetuated racial injustice and white supremacy in the name of Jesus. His Christianity, he discovered, was the religion of the slaveholder. Just as Reconstruction after the Civil War worked to repair a desperately broken society, our compromised Christianity requires a spiritual reconstruction that undoes the injustices of the past.
