Loved it. Lighthearted yet heavy. Warms my heart in these dark times in America.

I have always been fascinated by the lives of strong women. Nellie Bly is one of them. This book (in graphic novel form) follows her life (born in 1864) as she becomes a well-respected journalist. Her study of the lives of women in mental health facilities is mind-boggling. The book follows her life sequentially as she overcomes the odds of being a woman in a male dominated world. The graphics are very appealing! I highly recommend this book.

I can read the whole thing

Audio book a story about a wealthy woman in her sixties who awakens in a nursing home memory unit with no memory of why she is there. She escapes and with the support of her young teen granddaughter and gradual recovery from over medication, Rose untangles a complicated web of evil - it’s all about the greed for money from relatives who will inherit and the greed of the nursing home owners to shorten the lives of selected residents. I did not enjoy this book- foul language though

I really like the illustrations. My favorite illustration was when Sassafras had Caterflies in his fur.

7/27-8/6

It was an odd book

Funny hilarious and cute

I like snowflake because he is very smart and brave and it’s winter so he’ll be cold and the girls ask Kelly and Chris for a blanket but the blanket that they gave him was worn out, not very warm and didn’t fit him so the girls got worried that he would freeze over the nights, but they looked at a catalog of horse gear and they found a blanket that fit him perfectly, but couldn’t afford it so they used the old sleigh and use it for a event at the winter carnival and got lots of money and everybody wants to ride it so after the events were done, they had enough money to buy snowflake the blanket and enough money for Kelly and Chris to build a home for snowflake back in the paddock, and that is why I like snowflake????

I loved this book. Definitely recommend it.
