    I have 34 out of these 100 books. I’ve read 24 books out of 100. I’m not a gamer either but you really don’t have to be one to enjoy Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. I have not read Demon Copperhead either, on the shelf it sits. I love the cover, too. I love the book Small Things Like These. Wonderful that you got to enjoy Ireland (and the company of hawks) with your mom. You will love H Is For Hawk, it’s very good. I almost bought Erasure (because of you) but I didn’t. Maybe the next trip to the bookstore, I will. The book that stands out to me, that I would recommend is Braiding Sweetgrass. Oh, my! What wonderful, peaceful, relaxing book. Happy Reading! 😊

      Braiding Sweetgrass is free with my audible subscription. Maybe I'll check it out if I ever get done with my current listen.

    I also have a really hard time with anything related to animal death or cruelty, but I really enjoyed Salvage the Bones.

      Oh, that's good to know! Makes me feel better about reading it soon.
