Recommendation
Welcome to the Maine Woods
As I was checking out the opening weekend of a new bookstore in town, there happened to be an author signing event to promote the work of a local Maine author. I recognized the name, but really didn’t think much of it until I found myself back in my classroom struggling to pick something to read. As I scanned the shelves, I came across a few titles that had that very same author’s name on them that had been donated to me earlier in the year. After a quick scan, I picked out the one that grabbed my attention the most and settled down to crack open the cover.

"The Secret Garden":
Once upon a time, in the quaint village of Meadowbrook, nestled between rolling hills and a meandering river, there stood an ancient, abandoned manor. Its timeworn walls were covered in ivy, and its windows were shattered, making it appear like a ghostly relic of the past. But what truly intrigued the village children was the garden that lay hidden behind the manor.

The Books That Moved Me (Vol.2)
I know. The book is called The Golden Mole and yet, the picture I have chosen is quite clearly of a golden seahorse. Firstly, no picture of golden moles in Unsplash. Secondly, it doesn't matter that it's a picture of a seahorse and not a golden mole because the seahorse is still representative of the remarkable creatures which Rundell chooses to highlight in her excellent book, The Golden Mole, subtitled And Other Living Treasure.

Sphere: Book Review
So Jurassic Park was my favorite book/ movie / slash everything growing up. The book was published in 1990, when I was eight years old but you can bet I read that sucker cover to cover till the movie came out in 1993. I know eight seems a bit young to read Jurassic Park but at the time I was reading several grade levels above my peers and reading almost constantly any book I could get my hands on. I was your typical late 80’s early 90’s dino nerd and loved science. Even in my professional life today I am reading science texts almost daily to keep up with the biology, chemistry and physics classes I teach on the high school level. The book just seemed written for me and I lapped it up. My mother, noticing my interest and always supportive of my reading, immediately went hunting for more Micheal Crichton books.
