Gosh, can you believe this month is almost over? We have certainly had some crazy weather for winter. One day we are bundle up against freezing temperatures and the next day, we are wearing t-shirts trying to stay cool. For the last two days, we had rain with a dusting of snow this morning. Well, all I can say is this - the weather knows how to keep us on our toes!
Before the rain started, the deer and birds were enjoying the sunny afternoons. Doesn't this look relaxing? A little nap in the sunshine....
Some time spent down at the creek for a little snack....
And one Gila Woodpecker playing peek-a-boo with me. Ha! Gotcha!
I finished the last three of the Wool series. I loved all five short stories. I decided to wait until I finished the last three to tell you about the rest of the Wool series. You can get the whole book on Amazon or buy one series at a time.
Wool3 The Casting Off
Each series revealed a little more about this underground community living in a silo. How did they get there? Who built the silo? Were they the last humans on earth? Could they survive outside?
Can you imagine never experiencing the warmth of the sun on your face or wind messing up your hair or to watch snowflakes floating to the ground. Imagine never smelling a rose, listening to a bird's song or grass tickling your bare toes. It seems a little depressing and yet life in the Silo goes on because they don't know what they are missing. Their community in the silo is strong only because they are kept in the dark, but that might be a mistake. People are naturally inquisitive and the government is naturally secretive. To keep their secrets, the guilty are sentenced to "the cleaning" or being cast off.
Wool4 The Unraveling
The ones with power start abusing the trust empowered to them by underestimating how well people will follow without questions causing an unraveling of their structured society. Once people start to discover the dark secrets that have held this community together, it could be the beginning of their end.
Wool5 The Stranded
I won't say anything about the Wool5 because I will spoil some of the surprises in the first four. Quick note: there is swearing, but no sex.
These are the links to my first reviews: Wool and Wool 2. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Tuesday Treasury
Well, it has been raining cats and dogs. So many cute critters to pick from in Etsy! So here's just a few.....
Never heard of that series. Sounds interesting and good reading for a rainy day. The deer are dear.
ReplyDeleteThe deer are so pretty. Deer always look so graceful and elegant.
ReplyDeleteDeer have such sweet faces, and that 1st photo is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCute little woodpecker photo too....woodpecker on a tree = good. Woodpecker making holes in our fruit trees or our house = maddening. ;)
