Green vacation reading

BY JOSHUA ARP For The Triboro banner

With the start of the summer reading season on us, here are some green reading suggestions.

■ “Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology” by Eric Brende Why Read? This page-turner shows the value of the natural world by following a couple who experimented by giving up every convenience of the built world and then brought their insights back to society.

Why Skip? Don’t skip this book.

■ “The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love” by Kristin Kimball Why Read? Like “Better Off,” this story cultivates a love for food and its natural sources, including the labor of human cultivation.

Why Skip? As the title indicates, though the book is inspiring, it is also a bit dirty.

■ “The $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost his Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden” by William Alexander Why Read? In contrast to the successes celebrated in “Better Off” and “The Dirty Life,” this is picture of the dead ends that the “Joneses” find when they try to buy gardens and not build lives.

Why Skip? As a picture of dead ends, the book drags its reader across failures to a hopeless, impoverished ending.

■ “Fathers of Botany: The Discovery of Chinese Plants by European Missionaries”

by Jane Kilpatrick Why Read? If you work at it, this book can teach you about history and botany and a lesson on ecological globalism.

Why Skip? Unfortunately, this book comes in a coffee-table format—who reads un-

wieldy coffee-table books? Also, the book reads as accessibly as a textbook or a jargonized industry manual.

■ “Detour to Heaven: One Man’s True Journey” by Dale Reppert Why Read? After nearly dying, Reppert discovers other-than-financial wealth.

Why Skip? Don’t. Get rich right.

■ “The Field Guide to Fields: Hidden Treasures of Meadows, Prairies, and Pastures” by Bill Laws Why Read? This book will open up your eyes to the history and variety of cultivated land and natural land that is not forest.

Why Skip? Though it’s not a page-turner, don’t skip it.

■ “Fandex Family Field Guides: Trees” by Steven Aronson Learn your basic trees the easy way. Read one tree card per day.

■ “ECHO News Magazine” 10,000 people per year visit this Christian demonstration farm near Fort Myers, Florida. Filled with stories, recipes and plant data, this quarterly magazine will inspire you with the potential of smart agriculture to elevate millions of people from the hunger and poverty of subsistence farming.

And you will be inspired to bring part of that wealth to your own world.

■ “Mother Earth News: The Original Guide to Living Wisely.”

From raising goats or asparagus to drilling backyard wells, this bimonthly magazine may be just what you need to remember the joy of building and cultivation.

So, it might inspire you to return from your beach chair.

“They really enjoy the songs. And they really like to dance it out at rehearsal,” Taylor said.

Both are incredibly grateful to LaChette for giving them the freedom to see through their vision for the show. Now, they’re excited about friends and family members getting to see the culmination of that vision.

Overall, it’s been another great chapter in their respective Phoenix histories.

BY JEANIE SLUCK TAYLOR COMMUNITY LIBRARY

New Audio books available at the Taylor Community Library..

“Sisters of Summer’s End” by Lori Foster When single mom Joy Lee abandoned her old life to take a job at a lakeside resort, she found something that her family’s wealth and influence could never buy, peace of mind. Not easy to come by for the divorcée who keeps everyone at a distance.

When her new friend, Maris, dares her to take a chance with the drive-in’s charismatic new owner, everything changes for Joy and her young son. A difficult childhood has left Maris Kennedy with definite priorities. Her job running Summer’s End, the camp store and café, comes first.

Always. Nothing could ever make her risk that hard-won security, especially not her free-spirited colleague. The more she encourages Joy to open herself up to new experiences, the more Maris begins to wonder what she, too, might be missing.

Learning how to trust will bring Joy and Maris together. Soon they form a friendship that leaves them as close as sisters and open to love where they least expect it.

“Skin Game” by Stuart Woods When Teddy Fay receives a freelance assignment from a gentleman he can’t refuse, he jets off to Paris on the hunt for a treasonous criminal. As Teddy unearths

more information that just doesn’t seem to connect, his straightforward mission becomes far bigger and stranger than he could imagine. The trail of bread crumbs leads to secrets hidden within secrets, evildoers trading in money and power, and a global threat on an unprecedented scale.

Under the beautiful veneer of the City of Lights, true villainy lurks in the shadows and Teddy Fay alone can prevent the impending disaster.

“The Southern Side of Paradise” by Kristy Woodson Harvey With the man of her dreams back in her life and all three of her daughters happy, Ansley Murphy should be content, but she can’t help but feel like it’s all a little too good to be true. Meanwhile, youngest daughter and actress Emerson, who is recently engaged and has just landed the role of a lifetime, seemingly has the world by the tail. Only, something she can’t quite put her finger on is worrying her and it has nothing to do with her recent health scare. When two new women arrive in town one who has the potential to wreck Ansley’s happiness and one who could tear Emerson’s world apart, everything is put in perspective. After secrets that were never meant to be told come to light, the powerful bond between the Murphy sisters and their mother comes crumbling down, testing their devotion to each other and forcing them to evaluate the meaning of family.

“The Summer of Sunshine and Margot” by Susan Mallory As an etiquette coach, Margot teaches her clients to fit in. But she’s never faced a client like Bianca, an aging movie star who gained fame and notoriety through a campaign of shock and awe. Schooling Bianca on the fine art of behaving like a proper diplomat’s wife requires intensive lessons, forcing Margot to move into the monastery turned mansion owned by the actress’s intensely private son. Like his incredible home, Alec’s stony exterior hides secret depths Margot would love to explore. But will he trust her enough to let her in?

“Summer on Mirror Lake” by JoAnn Ross When he lands in the emergency room after collapsing at the funeral of a colleague and friend, Gabriel Mannion initially rejects the diagnosis of an anxiety attack. When warned that if he doesn’t change his adrenaline-fueled, workaholic lifestyle he could end up like his friend, Gabe reluctantly returns to his hometown

of Honeymoon Harbor to regroup. As he adjusts to the sight of mountains instead of skyscrapers, Gabe discovers advantages to this small Pacific Northwest town he once couldn’t wait to escape. But it’s irresistible librarian Chelsea Prescott who, along with the two foster children she’s taken under her wing, makes slowing down seem like the best prescription ever.

Over the course of their summer romance, Gabe gets a taste of the life he might have had if he’d taken a different path. But with his return to New York City looming on the horizon, he’ll have to choose between the success he’s worked tirelessly for and a ready-made family who offers a very different, richly rewarding future if he’ll only take the risk.

“Toxic Toffee” by Amanda Flower Bailey King is in New York wrapping up a six-week shoot on her first cable TV show, Bailey’s Amish Sweets, when she gets a call from her Ohio town’s resident busybody. With Easter around the corner, Bailey’s been recruited to create a giant toffee bunny for the weeklong springtime festival that will also feature live white rabbits. Back home in Harvest, death becomes the main attraction when Stephen Raber keels over from an apparent heart attack with only Bailey and Raber’s pet bunny as witnesses.

Except it wasn’t Raber’s heart that suddenly gave out; a lethal dose of lily of the valley was mixed into a tasty piece of toffee. Who’d want to poison a jovial rabbit farmer who reminded Bailey of an Amish Santa Claus? To solve the murder, she and the sheriff ’s deputy must uncover a 20-year-old secret. She’ll need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to keep a healthy distance from toxic people, including one venomous killer.

“Unsolved” by James Patterson FBI agent Emmy Dockery is absolutely relentless. She’s young and driven, and her unique skill at seeing connections others miss has brought her an impressive string of arrests. But a shocking new caseunfolding across the country has left her utterly baffled. The victims all appear to have died by accident, and have seemingly nothing in common. But this many deaths can’t be coincidence. And the killer is somehow one step ahead of every move Dockery makes but how? To FBI special agent Harrison “Books” Bookman, everyone in the FBI is a suspect-particularly Emmy Docker. Now someone else is watching Dockery, studying, learning, waiting, until it’s the perfect time to strike.

“The Flatshare” by Beth O’Leary Tiffy and Leon share an apartment.

Tiffy and Leon have never met. After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live.

Fast and cheap. The apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art.

Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He’ll only ever be there when she’s at the office. In fact, they’ll never even have to meet. Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes, first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends, and hopefully maybe more.

“How Not to Die Alone” by Richard Roper Andrew’s been feeling stuck. For years he’s worked a thankless public health job, searching for the next of kin of those who die alone. Luckily, he goes home to a loving family every night. At least, that’s what his coworkers believe. Then he meets Peggy. A misunderstanding has left Andrew trapped in his own white lie and his lonely apartment. When new employee Peggy breezes into the office like a breath of fresh air, she makes Andrew feel truly alive for the first time in decades.

Could there be more to life than this? But telling Peggy the truth could mean losing everything. For 20 years, Andrew has worked to keep his heart safe, forgetting one important thing: how to live. Maybe it’s time for him to start.

“Middlegame” by Seanan McGuire Meet Roger, he is skilled with words and languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realize it. They aren’t exactly gods, either, not entirely at least not yet. Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother.

He’s not their father, but he has a plan to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own. After all Godhood is attainable just pray it isn’t attained.
