The Library with Walter the Farting Dog, et al

 

 

The best job ever for Brenda was volunteer work: one who wandered around the library and collected books left on tables..  Who would read this?  What a huge book!  Gotta write this one down!... Smells of old and new books were both invigorating and soothing.

non-fiction

Pushing the shelving cart, Brenda grabbed books, reading titles aloud.

"Orchid Thief" Non-Fiction?


"Glasnost, Perestoika and the Socialist Community"The spine is barely creased open.  Must be a very serious history.

"Vacation in Margaretta, New York"  A real page tuner.


"Walter the Farting Dog" Read this to my younger brother.  Never again.

"Wind Talkers" Saw the movie, Nicholas...what's his name..Cage? With Adam Sands?

An excellent book

A worthwhile read

 

 

"Like Water for Chocolate" Mom was reading this one, once and then twice.


 

                          

"The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer" Loved this book! 

More time remained on her shift. Seeking out "The Islands of the Blessed" by Nancy Farmer, Brenda settled with a sigh, beginning with the first page.

The underlined words are Wednesday Words, 
a meme began by Delores who wanted to challenge
bloggers to enjoy a break from their chosen genre.
Fighting computer frustrations, Delores handed this
challenge off to various bloggers.  

In the Jungle

“...In the jungle, the mighty jungle…the lion…”  

Dammit, Leo growled. Bathsheba licked his face, “It is only for this night!” 

They had watched the firestorm as it burned south of the Savannah sending floods of prey fleeing. It had been a delight to see. Being chief predators, Leo, his pride with his mate had systematically hunted every antelope leaping. 

With their bellies full, Leo and Bathsheba curled up under the Land Rover and watched the humans as they sang that damn song around the fire pit, swilling beer.  Leo and Bathsheba had a choice to make: Follow the course of nature: culling out those humans or they could set about the business of reproducing.  

They, of course, set about doing what they do best.

 

This is my take  on underlined words. which were offerings from the weekly challenge, Wednesday Words. This was created 12 years ago by a blogger who no longer uses her computer, Delores.

 The baton has been passed onto Elephant's Child, and River.  Please go to their sites and see what other bloggers have written. Fun stuff.
