READING RECOMMENDATIONS

A Reno, Nevada dude ranch for wealthy wives biding time while seeking a quickie divorce, circa 1930’s, is the setting for this engrossing story. The characters immediately grabbed me, the story too, with both a comedy and drama feel. I’m an avid classic film fan, so this was a big win. It gives the impression of walking onset a Frank Capra film, while reading like a blender mix of Jeanette Walls and Lief Enger, with a bit of Robert James Waller mixed in. I just loved it.
Don’t be fooled by the cheesy book jacket; this is solid, quality fiction.

If you’ve seen the stock market news this past year and are wondering how we got here with money as a concept at all, this book might be for you.
Jacob Goldstein, co-host of NPR’s Planet Money, dives into how money is a made up thing that has served many purposes throughout history. From one of the earliest incarnations as coins in ancient Greece to the modern stock market and cryptocurrency.
The role of money in our lives and society continues to evolve.

The fiction series Hatchet is a favorite of many kids growing up. I was no different and couldn’t wait to read this biography about the author, Gary Paulsen. It was more than interesting; it was almost unbelievable. 
A resounding question I had while reading this book was, “how can someone so young have gone through and seen so much?” Against all odds, he survived and became the children’s author we all know and love. 
A juvenile nonfiction biography but better suited for a more mature reader.

On a subway ride in the city, Milo observes people from all walks of life. His little mind conjures up wonderful tales of these folk’s lives and adventures. 

In the end, readers will be as surprised as Milo to discover that there is more to people than the way they dress and look.
