Historia
The summer before his senior year in college, Greg Melville worked at the cemetery in his hometown, and thanks to hour upon hour of pushing a mower over the grassy acres, he came to realize what a rich story the place told of his town and its history. Thus was born Melville’s lifelong curiosity with how, where, and why we bury and commemorate our dead. Melville’s Over My Dead Body is a lively (pun intended) and wide-ranging history of cemeteries, places that have mirrored the passing eras in history but have also shaped it.

Looses Steam Near the End

i was interested in the "why" of American cemeteries over history and how those "whys" reflect American society of the era.
The author excels at this from the beginning of the book as he contextualizes his own hometown cemetery during his time working there while a youth. However, his excellence begins to wane in the final third of the book as he moves closer and closer to the present.
By the Epilogue, he has lost his anthropological lens and has taken up a thin memoir POV. I left the book feeling cheated.
The book is worth the first two-thirds and the excellent narrator. Just stop before the Hollywood Forever chapter.

Best sleep for people & pets

I started using this podcast to cover neighborhood dog barks that sent my dog off. However, now I use it whether my dog is with me or not, because the quality is great and the sound combinations are lovely.
Neither of us sleep as well without one of your rain tracks. Thanks!

Historia
Critically acclaimed author Margaret Peterson Haddix continues her best-selling Missing series with Sent. Just as best friends Chip and Jonah discover they're actually children kidnapped from history, they get sent back to their proper time period. Now in the 15th century, Jonah realizes he's Edward V, the king of England, and Chip is his younger brother Richard, the Duke of York. Both boys know they need to find a way home fast, because they know their history - Edward and Richard were murdered.

This was a compelling follow-up to the first book, Found. Some slow parts, but fun.
