What I’m Reading – April 2021
Are you a person who reads one book at a time or do you have multiple books going at once? Currently, I have three books on my bookshelf – one fiction suspense novel, one motivational book and one book to help me learn something new. Each of these three books serves a purpose to entertain, teach or inspire me to learn something new. Here’s what I’m reading – April 2021. What are you currently reading?

What I’m Reading – April 2021

Present Danger
A plane crash leads to an unknown dead body and two unlikely partners have to work together to find a killer. This is the first chapter of Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard. Former FBI Special Agent Tanner and US Forest Service Connors must find a way to bridge the gap of their past and work together to solve a murder even when it takes them into an investigation that becomes deadly. Set in the vast Rocky Mountains where secrets can stay buried for years, Tanner and Connors unravel a story that keeps you engaged from the beginning.
Present Danger has just the right amount of suspense and personal relationship to take you on a journey from page one all the way to the last chapter.
Author Elizabeth Goddard plunges you into a web of deceit made of hidden crimes, open threats, and long-buried family secrets in this gripping first book of an explosive new series.

Do Hard Things
My daughter recently read Do Hard Things and has had so much to say about the book that I am convinced it is a book I need to read. I try to have one motivational book on my current list and am excited to dive into this book in the coming days.
Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of revolution already in progress challenges you to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today. Now featuring a conversation guide, 100 real-life examples of hard things tackled by other young people, and stories of young men and women who have taken the book’s charge to heart, Do Hard Things will inspire a new generation of rebelutionaries.

Herbel Houseplants
I have been growing mint in my greenhouse all winter and now am branching out to other herbs. I have started peppermint, parsley and lavender by seeds and can’t wait to expand my herbal houseplant collection. I already love picking a leaf of mint and adding it to my ice water every day and have made an mint infused oil for salve and am excited to up my herbal collection and learn more from this new book.

Inside the beautifully illustrated pages, author and expert herbalist Susan Betz lets you in on a little secret: Herbs make great houseplants. And, you don’t need fancy grow lights, expensive potting soil, or high-end equipment to grow them. All you need is a sunny windowsill and the right plant. Learn which herbs perform best as houseplants, how to care for them, and even how to harvest and use your homegrown herbs for culinary creations, household cleaning products, herbal teas, handmade crafts, and more.
