Read about two-thirds of the book. I had trouble following the story, but I enjoyed the images of Melbourne

  
  

The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 by Rick Atkinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finished Atkins’s 3-book trilogy of World War II in Europe. I learned a lot more than I knew before and the narrative was interesting throughout the book. It’s still from a U.S./U.K. perspective. Great reading for someone who only studied the war in school.

  
  

On a Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson, Author of Silent SpringOn a Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson, Author of Silent Spring by William Souder
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This is a did not finish book for me. Just couldn’t stay focused on the book. The path of this book may have been too wandering for my interest at this time. I’m putting the book down, and I doubt I’ll return.
