Eric's cousin wrote this book, so we were thrilled to read. It's really quite good and I like how she wove together the different voices.
102. The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
I love trees and always angered by our mistreatment of them. This book gives vent to that anger. He does at some point discuss the amount of carbon dioxide trees use- before prehistoric forests existed the levels were 9 times what they are now. Here's a little video to look at current activity....
103. Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
This fantasy novel is about a changeling private detective. When I first heard about it, I thought it bore a striking resemblance to Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series, but in reality there's not much that's the same.
104. Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Set primarily in the late 80s but as flashbacks from 2009, this is an interesting story on teen life. I'm not sure how to classify this book. Perhaps it could be viewed as a young adult book. Perhaps fantasy. My initial reaction is to say it's like an angry Eleanor and Park with magic. With all the references I feel like this isn't really a YA book but rather a Gen-Xer book. And as a Gen-Xer that's fine by me! (Incidentally I found this book because I was interested in her other book Certain Dark Things, which is definitely on my to read list...It's got vampires!!)
105. The Ghost and the Ghostyard
This is a paranormal bodice ripper, set nominally in New Hampshire. There are a couple of ghosts but also witches, vampires and zombies. I quite enjoyed the beginning, but I don't think I will continue the series...
