The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger

Subtitle: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth

As I minored in Botany when I was in college, way back in the day, my son thought I would enjoy this book, and he was right.

My only caveat is that as a person who was already struggling with inflicting violence against plants (mowing the lawn; trimming) and murdering plants (weeding)--I will say that this book has made it almost impossible for me to do my yardwork! Thank goodness it is May so that I can say I am committing to "No Mow May".

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

My son wanted me to read this book...so I did. I will allow that it was short and definitely kept me reading but I found it very unsatisfying as it left me with way more questions than answers. This is the first of three books in this series, my son read them all, so I asked him did the questions get answered by the end. He said not really, it still leaves one with more questions than answers...so I think I am one and done with this series.

Head In The Sand by Damien Boyd

DI Nick Dixon #2

I am liking this series thus far, the writing is clear and concise, and the murders are solved without a lot of unecessary red herrings or long winded overly descriptive language. It is definitely reading time well spent.
