pickHow in touch with nature the Native Americans were and still are has always amazed me. This is a good story of preserving culture, family, health and the seeds that grow from the earth to feed and keep us healthy. The story is a good reminder that we as humans should leave things as nature intended. Although slow in parts, the Seed Keeper is a story that will make you think and perhaps inspire you to plant your own garden. 🪴
so-soOK historical narrative but I expected it to be more interesting. She met some kind people among them.
Starting this short account of a woman's captivity by the Sioux [Dakota or other] right after the Indian troubles in Minnesota in 1862.
Trying to get this finished, but I‘m interrupted every 3 min by all the other living beings in the household. 😏 Such perfect weather this morning.
The straggles in the little pot are the purslane crumbs leftover from a deer snack. 😠 Plus, I planted some “deer resistant” plants this week and they promptly mowed down two of them. I should have sprayed them.
Rereading this one for what is hopefully a new regular IRL bookclub. 🤞🏾
pickThis is a great book. Maybe my favorite of the year.
pickThe plot of The Seed Keeper unfolds as slowly as a seed sprouts after a long winter. Rosalie is adrift after the loss of her husband and returns to the primitive cabin where she grew up. Alternating timelines in her and her ancestor‘s lives highlight innumerable tragedies and the ways in which they are still connected. 3+⭐️ out of 5 for a solid entry in this genre.
#12DaysofChristmas March. #12booksof2022
I tried to choose between my two 5 🌟 reads for my March pick but they are both so good I can‘t pick a true favorite.
pickI loved this but it's a wicked slow burn.
It's the second monthly pick for my IRL book club. Anyone else in a book club that actually reads the books? Mine reads 2.
