![]() ![]() I’m not easily pleased and it’s hard to predict what will catch my interest, but when something does I love it to the moon. ![]() I still need to get them framed! I like mixing old things with new things, and my taste in books and art is pretty eclectic. Resting at the top of the middle shelf are some vintage prints of Jack and the Beanstalk that my dad gave me for Christmas last year. I have a very large fairytales section and most of my bookends have some kind of fairytale theme-a frog prince, a girl hanging by a giant, predatory vine that I like to pretend is a giant beanstalk. They’re organized largely by genre, but I’m not super organized. It’s a mixture of classics, both children’s and adult, YA and middle-grade fantasy and a fair amount of contemporary, mostly middle-grade. I think it really represents my reading tastes and personality. ![]() ![]() I have bookshelves all over the house, but my bookshelf in the living room is the one mostly seen by any guests.

John Rodrigues (aka “Control”) is the Southern Reach’s newly appointed head. Following the tumultuous twelfth expedition chronicled in Annihilation, the agency is in complete disarray. After thirty years, the only human engagement with Area X―a seemingly malevolent landscape surrounded by an invisible border and mysteriously wiped clean of all signs of civilization―has been a series of expeditions overseen by a government agency so secret it has almost been forgotten: the Southern Reach. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grabbing the lid to the next one, her heart stuttered as the creaky lid opened.

This briskly written but exhaustively detailed account defies expectations by portraying an administration of intelligent, patriotic adults with necessarily limited information striving to do what they believed was best for the nation in a dangerous era, with real but overlooked achievements. Baker concludes that Bush "was at his best when he was cleaning up his worst." The author shows how it all went wrong, however, without a hint of partisan rancor. Written as though it has the perspective of a century's distance on the events of the last decade, New York Times senior White House correspondent Baker ( The Breach: Inside the Impeachment and Trial of William Jefferson Clinton, 2000, etc.) dispatches false and puerile memes-Bush stole Florida, blood for oil, Bush lied and kids died, etc.-to the dustbin of history as he delivers "the most documented history of the Bush-Cheney White House to date." The author is no Bush cheerleader he shines a pitiless light on the failures of judgment, erroneous intelligence and excessive reliance on subordinates that led to the debacle in Iraq, which undid Bush's second term. ![]() ![]() A thorough, objective and surprisingly positive examination of the Bush-Cheney years. ![]() ![]() I read her three most famous novels in reverse chronological order, starting with Once Is Not Enough.

Only I know how many unread titles I have on the Kindle. First, I am not clogging my already overstuffed bookshelves, or adding to my seemingly endless to-read stack. It has seemed easier for me to read some titles on this device for a few reasons. Since I haven’t been spending my money elsewhere (or anywhere), one of those purchases was a Kindle. But the times we are living in have encouraged a few bigger-than usual purchases. Something that I love to do, but somehow didn’t want to concentrate that hard to do … until I got a Kindle. This pandemic has made everything hard, including reading. ![]() |
