A good read

     ​I finally made it back to the library. It’s been a good 6 months or so. I forgot how much I love reading. Well, actually, the weather has kept me away a bit too. I like to walk to the library, so I don’t go when it gets cold. But today I just had to get out of the house. It’s been raining and grey for several days and I think I went stir crazy. 
     ​
​     I grabbed several books, all informational. I find I very much enjoy the non-fiction section, almost as much as I do fiction. Anyways, one of the books I picked up was The Town that Food Saved by Ben Hewitt. ​I literally got two pages in and told Caveman we would be moving to Hardwick, Vt. He laughed at me. 
​
      I’m loving this book. The writing is a bit odd. I feel as if the author was trying to make every paragraph a hook, and he becomes repetitive. But beyond the writing, there is an amazing story of a small town, or several towns actually, that come together. I’ve only made it six chapters in, but the stories he tells, of these local people, coming together to change their local markets, it’s incredible.

      ​I’ll check back in when I’ve finished. If you’ve read the book, or if you read it, let me know what you think. Let’s start a conversation!
