I mostly like fantasy and non-fiction. My fav fantasy stories are ones with dragons (though not so much dragon-riders). I think I like thrillers?

Either printed copies or audio, no ebooks (too much screen time ☠️)

stopped reading Highfire by Eoin Colfer

Eoin Colfer: Highfire (Hardcover, Harper Perennial) No rating

Returned before finishing because Libby forgot where I was in my audiobook. 😠 May return to this later.

It's a fun modern day "what if dragons were real all along" sort of story where there's just one dragon left, Lord Highfire (who now goes by Vern), who's a crude guy who just sits around and watches tv all day in the swamps of Louisiana, trying not to be found. So, of course, he's found by a teen, a "good kid" who cares about his mom who the crooked sheriff is trying to romance.

Mary Oliver: Upstream 4 stars

A relaxing take of viewing nature and life.

4 stars

Haven't read her before but I understand that she's a poet; I picked this up first to see if I'd be interested in her poetry, and I think I'll check it out. (Wanted to read the essay collection first since it's been years since I've looked at poetry.)

Mary is very in touch with the natural world around her and how it shapes her perspective.
