Tonight I pick up our new colony of bees and I am just buzzing with excitement. Yup.. bee humor. Once they are all in their box for the night, they really have no interest in leaving it, and they are actually quite quiet. My baby bassets do not believe me when I tell them this though, and refuse to be in the car with me when I pick up bees. I have one son who wants to take over the family business (it’s not a business but he also doesn’t believe me when I tell him that either) and the other wants NOTHING to do with it. Except maybe eat all the honey. Often, I have to stop him from eating all the honey. He is like Winnie the Pooh. Silly bear. So this will be our fourth colony, but we lost one, so we have three. We had made a few modifications to the bee boxes which should make our bees happier and produce more honey this year. I’m hoping!
Testament of Youth: An Autobiographical Study Of The Years 1900-1925
by Vera Brittain
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
This classic memoir of the First World War is now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington. Includes an afterword by Kate Mosse OBE.
In 1914 Vera Brittain was 20, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life – and the life of her whole generation – had changed in a way that would have been unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.
TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain’s account of how she survived those agonizing years; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time, and has lost none of its power to shock, move and enthrall readers since its first publication in 1933.

Genre: Literature & Fiction | Sagas | Coming of Age
FREE for a limited time
Mary Jane Hatcher- everyone calls her Mojo- is beat up bad. She’s in the ICU of Phoebe Putney, the largest hospital in South Georgia, barely able to talk. How Mojo goes from being that skinny little girl in Nolan, a small forgotten town along the Flint River, to the young woman now fighting for her life, is where this story begins and ends.
Mojo, her mama Delores and her Uncle Calvin Mullinax, like most folks in Nolan, have just tried to make the best of it. Of course, people aren’t always what they seem, and Phil Foster-the handsome, spoiled son of the richest man in the county-is no exception.
As the story of the Mullinax family unfolds, Mojo discovers a family’s legacy can be many things — a piece of earth, a familiar dwelling, a shared bond. And although she doesn’t know why she feels such a bond with Phil Foster, it is there all the same, family or not. And she likes to think we all have us a fresh start. Like her mama always said, the past is all just water under the bridge. Mojo, after going to hell and back, finally comes to understand what that means.
