Monday

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?  -- is a weekly feature at Book Journey.

I'm reading Monoculture:  How One Story Is Changing Everything by F.S. Michaels and Daughters of the Revolution by Carolyn Cooke.

This past week, I finished:

Zor: Philosophy, Spirituality, and Science by  J.B.-- A parable of sorts that deals with all of the things mentioned in the title by applying them to a fictional character.  Many of the theories, advances, and individuals in neuroscience are included.   Although it is a fictional story, the information is authentic, so I'll probably include it in my "brain" book category.

 

 

Jane Was Here by Sarah Kernochan -- ghost story, reincarnation, karma

before the last all clear by Ray Evans -- a memoir of a WWII evacuee.  Operation Pied Piper planned to move 3.5 million children in 3 days in Sept. 1939.  While one source says that the actual number moved by Pied Piper in the 3 day deadline ended up being 1.9 million, many more were evacuated later.  The war ended in 1945...

Here is a link that gives more information about the evacuations.  Many of these children were separated from their parents for 6 years.

I'm still trying to get the backlog of reviews written and scheduled.

Bits and Bobs

Sometimes, I have no ideas and no inclination to play in the studio.  Sometimes, however, I have too many ideas and not enough time to play.

One project that I'm working on requires lots of bits and bobs, so I started digging through my "bits and bobs basket" and found all of these from several years ago.  Little quilty pins I was making and experimenting with that ended up with no place to go.  They may be useful for the project I'm working on, and if not, they still give me ideas for different versions.

 Some laces and ribbons and fibers may also come in handy.
