This Life is in Your Hands by Melissa Coleman

Subtitle: One Dream, Sixty Acres and a Family's Heartbreak -- This was a very good look at how people were trying to get back to the land in the late 60's and early 70's and how it did and did not work for people.  Everything starts with good intentions, but challenges come up that can strain people and families.  Add to that a tragic death and it can really form how the family functions.  It was very well written, I could feel the despair and joy and wonder of all that was happening to their family.  Well worth the read.

Seven Summits by Dick Bass, Frank Wells and Rick Ridgeway

If you like adventure and the art of getting it done you will enjoy this book.  Dick and Frank had a goal to climb the seven highest summits in the world in one year.  There were many trials and tribulations, much wheeling and dealing and a lot of personal growth..  This is not something that I would ever really want to do, but it does make me want to explore a bit more and see what I can accomplish.  The writing did not always have the best flow and rhythm, but it was very enjoyable.

The Red House Murder by A.A. Milne

Whenever I think of A.A. Milne I think of Winnie the Pooh.  So, when I came across this murder mystery I thought I would give it a try.  It was interesting and based very much on the formula of Sherlock Holmes.  There were eccentric people, strange situations and wild imaginations.  It is always interesting to see someone write in a different genre than what you are used to.  Milne did a fine job, but I will stick with Winnie the Pooh.
