Book Review -- "Weather"

Weather: A Novel by Jenny Offill
Book Review -- "Weather"

Lizzie Benson is a librarian working without a degree (feral librarian!) and also sort of a fake shrink, due to her ministrations to her recovering drug addict brother and recluse mother.

She has a family and has a side job answering emails for her old mentor who is famous for her podcast, Hell and High Water, which is popular with leftists worried about climate change and right leaners worried about the fall of western civilization. She’s juggling lots of plates as she tries to make time for everything and ways to fix everyone.

Written in short succinct paragraphs, the white space on the pages seem to say as much as her words. A very interesting read.

This title is available to download in ebook and eaudio through Overdrive/Libby on the website and in print format when the library reopens.

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She has completed the NV 2020 Census and misses the usual library activity.

She is most definitely a collaborator and is very well known throughout the state for her assistance as a Nevada SBDC business advisor, especially related to agriculture and local food entrepreneurship and systems.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family. May you be comforted to know that I care and I pray you will be comforted by your memories of Frank. Sincerely,Comment publication date: 4/30/26, 11:51 AMComment source: Frank Robert Kroll
