For the umpteenth time, I am trying to wade through
Salt, A World History
by Mark Kurlansky.
It is very informative, but it is written in a manner I find extremely difficult to follow. I am picking portions I like and reading them. I hope to finish by next year!
I also was given
How To Write a Children's Book and Get It Published by Barbara Seuling.
I like it, and it should be helpful for my new, next career!
