Diet for the MIND is a book I HIGHLY recommend. The author is the researcher/creator of the MIND diet - a combination of the Mediterranean Diet and the DASH Diet (for heart health). It's encouraging and will make you feel like you can BOTH help your mind and eat delicious food! Bon Apetit!

The Skimm recommended Long Bright River, but I'm not sure I can do the same. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very well written and for those of us who are police procedural junkies (my particular poison is Law and Order SVU) it is definitely worth a read - it slowly builds into a fast, suspenseful read and I did enjoy it. I just don’t think it’s an unqualified “I loved it”! But if you want to check it out - and you may, it has 4.5 stars on Amazon - click the title above.

This Tender Land - First book of 2020! And it was an excellent read. From the very first page you can tell you’re in the hands of an excellent storyteller. Set in the midst of the depression and by the author’s own admission a bit of a Huck Finn book, I found it most excellent. 

Today’s Newbery Medal read is The Girl Who Drank the Moon, 2017′s winner. So far it’s AMAZING! Thank you Kelly Barnhill and @algonquinyoungreaders​.
