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
I need to learn a lot more about butterflies.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of good butterfly and moth guide books about. I rely on one for the Houston area, which probably wouldn't help you so I won't recommend it, but I'm sure there are plenty for your area as well.
DeleteBeautiful, Dorothy
ReplyDeleteButterflies are plentiful in the garden these days. Just one of the reasons why it may be my favorite time of year.
DeleteLucky you that have so many beautiful critters in your garden. :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW, what has become of the odd fella from the pond? Just wondering...
I haven't seen the bullfrog in several weeks. He may have moved on to someone else's pond - maybe where there are other bullfrogs!
DeleteI too have been enjoying the butterflies.
ReplyDelete'Tis the season...
