A Never Ending Trail of NonFic
Nonfiction
Chowderland: hearty soups and Stews with sides and salads to match by Brooke Dojny. Dojny lives in Maine. That makes sense if you're writing a book about chowder. Page 75 says, "Bottled clam juice is usually shelved with the canned fish in the supermarket."
Natural Remedies for Kids by Kate Tietje and Bob Zajac, MD. I weeded some old alternative health guides and chanced on this title when a book salesman visited.
Totally Awesome Paracord Crafts by Katie Weeber with Colleen Dorsey. Lots of bracelets. Page 25 says, "Then tie the knot as usual."
Ultimate Star Wars written by Patricia Barr, et al. Characters. Locations, Technology. Vehicles. Norwegians on Hoth. A Gaderffii (Gaffi) Stick is the club used by the Sand People. I listened to Kenobi by John Jackson Miller. Kenobi has Obi-Wan secretly arriving on Tatooine to look after Luke Skywalker. That was a fun book. The Star Wars audiobooks are always well produced with additional music and sound effects to go with the narration.

Large NonFiction
NonFiction
Parents Ask, Experts Answer: nurturing happy, healthy children by Tina Nocera. Nocera lives in New Jersey and has a very tiny author photo on the back cover. That is not fair, give the woman a larger shot, she wrote a book.
Craft Camp: over 40 fun projects for kids by Sterling Publishing Co. This large paperback has a new vinyl cover so it smells like plastic. I also had my head on it.
Science of Swimming Faster edited by Scott Riewald, PhD and Scott Rodeo, MD. 548 pages of text and 28 pages of references. Wow. This is more textbook than casual read. I need to get out of this house this winter and go swimming.
Women's Guide to Triathlon edited by Tara S. Comer. Cover photo has a couple competitors on bike and wearing their swimsuits. Do women usually run in the swimsuits, or do they do a quick change into running shorts after the bike race?

Waste Not, Want Not Cook Book by Cinda Chavich. Is Chavich a Spanish name? Maybe a Czech name? Could be more Easter European, I suppose. Maybe I should take some linguistic classes.
