This is a fantastic book on wildlife viewing in Colorado. This book has beautiful pictures--and it lists 201 wildlife viewing sites!...(28 sites on the Eastern Plains, 62 sites on the Front Range, 74 sites in the Rocky Mountains, and 37 on the Colorado Plateau). It lists maps, viewing information, directions and descriptions of the wildlife viewing areas; as well as what type of wildlife you can expect to see. It is very informative and comprehensive.
I highly reccomend this book!

Land of Grass and Sky is like your first drink of morning when you shake sleep from your limbs and stand at the window, breathing deep and stretching. It is fresh and clean and wakes you to a new vision of what may have seemed a stale landscape.

Mary Taylor Young's song of the prairie alternates classic images of big sky and waving fields with practical tips and throat-gripping stories of survival. When I tried to read the dust-storm passage aloud to my husband, I could barely finish, my voice shook so much and my chest felt so tight. It is a terrifying passage, perhaps too close to home as we face the worst drought in recent memory.

In the end, I reluctantly closed the cover of the book, feeling as if I was just returning from a lovely and soul-nourishing morning walk on the Great Plains.

My women's book group read this over year ago, this story about a woman very unlike any of us, and yet we still refer to it in many discussions. Why? Because Carrie is, after all, very much like us in her motherhood and in her loss that most of us can only talk about if we preface it with "God forbid it should happen to any of us". The absolute sincerity of both her passions and her numbness are irresistible and her ultimate incremental steps toward recovery feel like a triumph for the reader as well.

Come & Go is a marvelous novel of superb writing that captures the rhythms of the music and the world in which it is played with great capability. The characters are endearing and imaginable, and despite the tragedy that stands at the center of the story, the novel never loses the beautiful tone that draws the reader into the characters' lives. While the heroine's final situation and her relationships are completely appropriate, Taylor-Hall's choice of how to arrive there may not have been so wise, as it delves completely into a magical world, leaving behind the realism that makes the rest of the novel so credible. Also, the symbolism of Ruth as the woman who journeys to the Promised Land seems somewhat unresolved. Otherwise, this novel is a wonderful work by a promising author.

Mary Ann Taylor-Hall lives down the road from my aunt's farm in Kentucky. I have never met her, but I feel like I know her already. This novel, her first, is one of the best works of literature that I have ever read. Ever since I received my first copy of the book, one autographed to my grandmother, I have never let it slip out of my mind.

The reader cannot help but journey into the very core of Carrie. When she holds her fiddle, it is as if the wooden masterpiece is also extending from your hands. The drones omitted from the pages go directly to the reader's ears, never ceasing to convey the sorrow and utter hopelessness that she feels.

This book is amazing, and I recommend it to anyone who has a heart beating inside of their chest. You will read it and beg for more -- at least I did.
