2025 Nonfiction Challenge #5

This is a review for the nonfiction book Field Notes From a Fungi Forager by Ashley Rodriguez. I really enjoyed this book that focuses on mushrooms and fungi that can be found around the Pacific Northwest. The author does a great job of telling how to identify the different species, but also includes ideas on how to cook them.

2025 Nonfiction Challenge #4

A review for the nonfiction book, Go to Hell: A Traveller’s Guide to Earth’s Most Otherworldly Destinations by Erika Engelhaupt. This boo was a very interesting read focused on places in the world that have myths or legends that associate them with the Underworld. Well written and researched it will bring some of the world’s most inhospitable places to you.

Mini Reviews: A Middle Grade Bonanza

Three very short reviews of three middle grade books that I read in the last couple of weeks. Two are fiction and one is nonfiction. The First State of Being is wonderful historical science fiction story about Y2K. The Bletchley Riddle is set during WWII and it is about two siblings searching for their mother. Loch Ness Uncovered is about the Loch Ness Monster and how the story began and the evidence of the hoaxes that have perpetuated over the years.
