Sea Glassing


Here in New England, the fall and winter are perfect times to go on a sea glass hunt.  I have been a few times this fall and would like to share some of the evidence.  Pictures include Third Beach (Newport), Hull Beach (Jamestown) and East Beach (Watch Hill, Westerly)

What I Read: October 2017



What I Read:  October 2017




and



Favorites this month were:  

   Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo ⭐⭐⭐⭐

   Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders ⭐⭐⭐⭐

   All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   The Last Neanderthal by Claire Cameron ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A book that surprised me:  Lincoln in the Bardo.  I was lost at first but once I planted myself firmly in the setting of the story it was an enjoyable experience.

A book that disappointed me:  The Almost Sisters.  Felt formulaic to me.  It past the time just fine, but I felt it didn't live up to the hype.   

Currently Reading:  A Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel, Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan
