Helpful Score: 1


There was definitely some valuable thoughts in here, but overall it fell a little short for me. I think a lot of the author's experience and background felt more like privilege than reality. She has some good ideas on trimming down on excess, and certainly a lot of people could learn quite a bit.

I found this to be an interesting blend of personal memoir and an almost academic look at what it means to be a hillbilly. I enjoyed the book thoroughly.


Last Child in the Woods:  Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
Review Date: 1/31/2021


This book provides a thorough understanding of the way time in nature can positively impact children (and adults!). There was a lot of material covered and a lot to think about. It was a great read for those concerned about our human - nature connection and how to encourage that connection with the next generations as life becomes more and more digitized.


Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely
Review Date: 2/19/2021


I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was funny, encouraging, and in places, profound. I don't think it would speak to everyone but I thought it was great.
