Looks like a nice place to spend a Happy Mother's Day

I'm reading Holy Cow by David Duchovny. What a fun book. "A rollicking, globe-trotting adventure with a twist: a four-legged heroine you won't soon forget." Elsie is a cow who is quite smart and has a great sense of humor. It's illustrated with drawings that might make you giggle a bit. It's also a protest book but since I'm a vegetarian I'm already on board with the message. Book came out in 2015 but I think I might be the first person to ever check out this copy. It's in pristine condition; spine hasn't even been cracked. If I still had kids I would definitely buy this book for them.

Listening to A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson. A dramatic story of the 20th Century through the eyes of a would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father, and grandfather-as he navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world. This has some pretty funny moments, as one would expect from any family story.
