    The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

    On a different note, how do you read graphic novels? It's a different approach, isn't it? Do you spend more time trying to figure out the emotion of a scene or what? A bookstore near me has a graphic novel book club, and it would be a new way of reading for me.

    Graphic novels are great. Take extra time with the illustrations.

    I don't want to give anything away.  This book is a delight.  I was drawn to it while waiting around for my daughter to pick out a new YA novel at the bookstore.  If you care about the environment, or love nature, trees the woods etc, you will probably love this book.  I'm about 2/3 the way through and am really enjoying it.  Paging @brianlux I think you would really enjoy this one.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Other people have recommended it to me but to be honest, I tried and couldn't get into it.  Maybe I'll try again one of these days.

    Not all books are for everyone that's for sure. At least you tried.

    Good point!

    My next read will be one I probably breeze through like I have all the many others by Henry Rollins- the new one, Sic:

    Have been lazy about updating and slow going on reading, as I'm usually wiped out when I lay down to read at night.


    Patient Zero seriously opened up a can of worms for me. I think I have read everything from Maberry and I just started Cave 13, which was released a couple weeks ago. 

    His "Pine Deep Saga" might be my favorite trilogy of all time.

    I just finished the poetry collection The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón. I've read quite a few poetry collections, but this is my new favorite book. She defines the close by looking beyond.

    I finished The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. I recommend. When I read it at parts I felt the action very deeply. There are loose ends, but overall well worth reading.
