This so good!!! The humor is spot on. I love it. I’ve been missing this author’s humor. I’m glad I read this one because it was HILARIOUS.

It was also pretty realistic. Cattle raisers have to deal with birth, sickness, and death all the time and this one really pointed that out. (There are 2 butchers and one birthing sequence. Not very graphic.)

The cell reception joke with the tall person was my favorite part!

Edit (spoilers!!): I just flipped through this book again and came across the school festival part. I LOVE how it showed the boys being intense and then cut to the girls just chatting and having a lovely time then back to the boys screaming/generally being intense. That’s my FAVORITE part. I just love it.

Since I enjoyed the first volume, I was excited that the library had volume 2. While some of the stories seem a tad more disjointed here than in the first volume, overall the character development continues to shine and the emotional range is expanded. The artwork is of course gorgeous too. I'm not sure where to get the next volume, but I'm still intrigued by this series!

This book moves at a pretty slow pace, but that makes for pretty calm reading. Some of the graphics are a bit much for me, but considering I'm a vegetarian, I expected to find some parts of the farm process hard to read. I still don't feel attached to any characters, but I can see the appeal of the series for other people. I think I'll stop here and maybe come back to it in the future.

This was amazing. Loved how they all came together to make brick oven pizza! It really shows how the farming community despite not having much are so rich in many other ways.

Having experienced this lifestyle and it's just brings me back to those days of great eats and good laughs and conversation.
