Official State Flowers and Trees: Their Uniques Stories by Glynda Joy Nord

Brenna M's Book Blog

I grew up in Western New York, with a huge Italian, German, and Irish influence in my family life. Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony, the Haudenosaunee, and the Erie Canal are a big part of the history in my area. This is, I believe, is one reason I like reading about history and historical fiction.

I garden, cook, and preserve some of the food I grow. I, also, enjoy traveling. A book or two are always with me when I travel. And there is always one in my car, at my desk, and anywhere I may have a chance to read. Primarily I read fiction--young adult, historical fiction, mysteries, thrillers. I do enjoy a good memoir, biographies, and cookbooks. If someone recommends something, I will always check it out.

Official State Flowers and Trees: Their Uniques Stories

Glynda Joy Nord

Paperback, 242 pages

Published May 9th 2014 by Trafford Publishing

ISBN: 1490731318 (ISBN13: 9781490731315)

Official State Flowers and Trees is a fun way to learn a little bit about our state symbols with a little bit of history and folklore thrown in as well. The author includes some First People's and Asian Culture's medicinal uses for parts of the plants and trees. The few that are in the book are nice black and white pictures, but I wish there were more. This book is more for adults, and maybe young adults interested in learning more about state flowers and trees and the history behind them.

The Woods

The Woods seemed a little slow and wordy when I first started to read it, but that didn't last long. I started to like the characters, despite their flaws, and enjoyed the descriptions of the town and region. I could tell a lot of time w...

Beatrice Belladonna's Black Magic Web
