“Fan of Mary Oliver or Terry Tempest Williams? Scottish author Nan Shepherd is an author you will enjoy. The harsh, lush, and dramatic Scottish Highlands permeate her poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. Best known for The Living Mountain, her crystalline prose homage to the Cairngorm Mountains, we are happy to have three titles from Ms. Shepherd on the SCB Spring19 list from Galileo Publishers: In the Cairngorms, a collection of poems; Wild Geese, a collection of fiction, essays, and poems; and Into the Mountain, a biography. You’re in for a treat reading her, and hope your customers will agree.”

The Crossing Places

HMH is putting the Ely Griffiths mysteries in mass market and I finally picked one up and now the rest are next to the bed.  Ruth Galloway, a forensic archaeologist, gets recruited by the local DCI to help solve new and old cases. - Steve Straw
ABOUT: 
​An atmospheric adventure with beloved forensic archaeologist and “captivating amateur sleuth” Ruth Galloway, as she teams up with Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson to investigate a set of remains, thought to be the bones of a little girl who went missing ten years before—“an inspired creation” (Louise Penny).

Forensic archeologist Ruth Galloway is in her late thirties. She lives happily alone with her cats in a remote area near Norfolk, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants—not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine is harshly upended when a child’s bones are found on a desolate beach. Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Ruth for help, believing the bones to be the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor taunts him with bizarre letters referencing ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter—exactly like the ones about Lucy.

Is it the same killer? Or a copycat murderer, linked in some way to the site near Ruth’s remote home?

Let Me Sleep Sheep

Amos starts to count sheep to get to sleep, but the sheep revolt when there’s no fence for them to jump over.  A great read aloud. - Steve Straw


ABOUT:

Amos is counting himself to sleep. It’s a good plan, until the cranky sheep land in his bedroom — and start in with their many demands.

It’s bedtime for Amos, who smiles as he closes his eyes and counts some fluffy sheep trotting away in the grass. Until suddenly…THUD. And then another. “Not again!” says the first sheep, now on Amos’s floor. “I was having my wool clipped,” grumbles the second. None too happy at being interrupted, the woolly pair fire a battery of questions at Amos, most importantly: "Where’s the fence?" So Amos sets out to build one to their specifications, then is asked to test it out, of course…. In this laugh-out-loud read-aloud, a couple of crafty sheep put a child through his paces — and show that a tuckered-out kid at bedtime is a win-win all around.
