Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead - Olga Tokarczuk. This author won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2018, awarded last year (2019). X This book is set in a secluded Polish village in modern times. We are introduced to the main character Janina, an elderly woman who is distraught at losing her two beloved dogs, whom she considers her daughters. Janina files complaints about the hunters from the village, who she considers to be callous killers, and often catches poaching animals. She is certain that her dogs were killed by one of the hunters, but is unable to prove it. X I enjoyed this book, but found certain portions at the beginning very lengthy, and difficult to get through. Ultimately, the effort is worth it, with a twist in the last fifty pages that elevated the book in my mind and delivered a gut punch of a message. This little old woman is a more imposing than she seems, and won’t be ignored forever. X Have you read any books by Olga Tokarczuk?

Dear Public Library, Thank you for making the very best in new literature available to borrow for free... and for always taking the very best ones from my grasp before I can finish them. X Flights by Olga Tokarczuk should have been higher in my priority list. I only read the first 100 pages before I had to return it, but I will have it again soon enough. A series of stories - some short, others extended throughout - that cover a variety of characters and settings. I didn’t really get to the point where any common themes become apparent, but each passage was intriguing. X What did you think about Flights?

I love this new design! Blue, green, purple. Rich, bright, contrast. Inspired by one of the most beautiful color palettes in nature. The Peacock. X These turned out so perfect. From design to the finished product, it is exciting to see something turn out exactly how you envisioned it.
