Five Years Later: Hurricane Katrina | USA TODAY

3 Comments/ 1446/ 0

I know, I know! It is Sunday morning and I am surfing so I am happening upon a lot of things to read and write and post about! But this one from USA Today really hit me. I am sure it has been on their site for some time but I just got around to it today. This multi media piece documents Katrina Five Years Later and is one of the best pieces I have seen done. While it is realistic and shows so much of the devastation that we can not begin to imagine unless we have actually been there—it also presents the hopefulness and positive things that are coming out of this horrible nightmare. I was touched. It is a fairly long presentation and you have to keep clicking on the arrow on the right to move to the next segment but once I started watching it I could not stop. Carve out some time to check it out and email them your comments at the end of the piece if you want.

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
