I have bookmarked this page to make sure I remember to pick a couple of those up.<br />I have just finished reading the 2nd book in the Medicine Man series by S. R. Howen. Absolutely fabulous series so far and I can't wait for the next edition. Anyone who is not yet familiar with Howen's work needs to take some time to check her out and read some reviews. The Medicine Man series is simply breathtaking and for fans of Native American stories I don't think you will find anything better. http://www.srhowen.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245512791881791415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-85134497483834532512014-07-12T14:30:41.267-04:002014-07-12T14:30:41.267-04:00Thanks Christy & Cheddar.

Actually, "Orphan Train" contains a book-stealing motif also, as you know if you have read it. But if you haven't checked out "Lost City of Z" yet -- it's an amazing NF read. I think there's even some entomophagy in it . . . .
