My fingers are all thumbs these days. Must be age or my brain is sending wrong messages to my fingers. Say it isn't so! I like my brain working just as it is. I have a bit of arthritis in two of my fingers. Let's blame arthritis.
Southern Vancouver Island is the place to live if you enjoy mild (not always) weather during the winter months but, be prepared for wild wind storms that stir up the giants living under the sea who raise heaving white caps sending water over the breakwaters showering parked cars. Sea water is not nice to cars and damage the paint.
I am supposed to be writing a review of, "THE PAPER TRAIL," an Unexpected History of the World's Greatest Invention.
"This is the story of how that soft and supple substance became the vehicle and the conduit for landmark innovations and mass movement across the world. "
It began two thousand years ago in China and moved on from writing on silk, to writing on bamboo scrolls to mashing up sold rags to make a kind of paper. The Paper Trail is a a long read and not for the faint of heart. I read it in stages so I could remember what I'd read!
The Paper Trail takes us into the highways and byways of governments and the important of keeping records.
That is for that. The book is physically heavy but it's worth the effort to delve into the earliest of paper making to the present time.
In the meantime! Remember to buy a romance novel for one of the women in your life. A VERY DIFFICULT MAN, for the woman who enjoys a historical romance.
ISABELLE: For a woman in your life who likes to solve a mystery in the very first chapter of ISABELLE'S DIARY. Was there a ghost?
ISABELLE'S STORY is a historical romance. A broken heart. A pregnancy. Feeling abandoned. Many twists and turns and the good heart of a shepherd. Do read it. There are good and bad people in the world. Let the good triumph.
