Recently finished "The Berry Pickers," by Amanda Peters. It was pretty good, but not life-altering. Not what I thought it would be, but enjoyable nonetheless. About an native indigenous family who migrated from Canada each summer to pick berries in Maine. One of the children, a 4-year-old, becomes missing. The story toggles between her telling her story and her brother telling the family story from his point of view.

Started "A Single Thread" by Tracy Chevalier.

Happy: I read Bridget Jones a long time ago, but I remember it as a fun book.
Catherine: I've read a lot of Jodi's books, although not in recent years. I always thought she could spin a good tale and get you thinking about both sides of some important issues.
Kay: I've wondered about The Berry Pickers, because I've heard mixed reviews. Sounds like you think it's worth reading?
I just started Lessons in Chemistry, which also has some mixed reviews but most seem to think it was a fun read.

I'm reading "Shadow Divers" by Kurson. It's the non-fiction account of divers finding a previously unknown sunken WWII German U-boat off the coast of New Jersey in the 1990's and the efforts to identify it and recover a few artifacts. It's a very good story.

Just finished reading the Apocalypse chef series. Eli "Nacho" Natches, lives in a post apocalyptic Kansas City in a gaming style environment trying to survive for the amusement of the Patrons who bet and can sponsor favorite players. Nacho's patron gives him a boon (gift) so powerful that he actually goes back in time to six months before the Juxtaposition, and does everything to make sure his best friends Reuben, a nerdy Marketing major, and Brie, a star Lacrosse player, survive.
