Open Season (Joe Pickett #1) by C.J. Box - A review
I was introduced to the writing of C.J. Box through my local library's Mystery Book Club. Open Season , the first in Box's Joe Pickett series, was the club's selection for reading in June. Although I didn't get a chance to read it in time for the meeting, the discussion of it made me curious and I put it on my to-be-read list. I'm glad I finally got around to it this week. Box has created an enormously appealing character in Joe Pickett. A Wyoming game warden, Joe is a devoted family man with two young daughters and a pregnant wife when we first meet him. He and his family are able to barely scrape by financially on the meager salary of a state employee (Been there, done that!) , but Joe is a happy man, because he's living his dream. Being a game warden was what he always wanted to be. Not only Joe but his whole family are lovingly drawn by Box. We get to know them well and to like them and want them not just to endure but to triumph. Seven-year-old Sherid

ReplyDeleteThat's it!
DeleteI dropped over here from bookworm's blog. This is a lovely picture. My mother is quite a bird watcher, although not an official "birder." I enjoy photos of birds, although have never had time to really delve into the details. Maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteGood for your mother! Birding is a wonderful hobby. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Nature. Photographing birds, especially small birds, is a challenge because birds tend to fly - usually just as I've got them in focus. But I enjoy trying. I usually have somewhat better luck with large birds like the Whooping Cranes.
