Friday Finds ~ November 19th

What great books did you hear about/discover this past week? Share your FRIDAY FINDS! This weekly event is hosted by Should Be Reading.

Getting out of the noisy city for the peaceful country has a lot of appeal for me. So this book went on my list.

The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love
by Kristin Kimball
Single, thirtysomething, working as a writer in New York City, Kristin Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a new farm with him.

I love time travel stories. This one caught my eye on goodreads.

Selected Shorts and Other Methods of Time Travel
by David Goodberg

In 2051, commercial time travel became a global reality. Opportunities abounded for curious history buffs, futurists, and corrupt entrepreneurs. Selected Shorts and Other Methods of Time Travel is a spellbinding collection of 37 illustrated tales that explore time travel tourism and its repercussions.

    Both of these books sound terrific, Leslie. I have never done this meme except to comment on the Friday finds of others. 🙂
