Hi Elizabeth!  I see from your signature line that you read 13 NF, which is 1 more than the 12 needed for the highest category, so it looks like you more than finished! I had meant to give out cred more...

  1. Anthropology (Physical, Cultural, Linguistic or Archaeology):  Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat, 4 stars, 4/22/2013.  I truly enjoyed this second journey into the world of northern animals by Farley Mowat.  Earlier I had read People of the Deer which was fascinating, too.  In Wolf, Mowat studies the patterns and life of wolves which are believed to be killing the carabou.  What he discovers is that wolves only take what is needed to sustain their families.  It is man who is responsible for the declines.  2. Arts (Fine or Performing): The Prince and the Lily (Lilly Langtry, minister's daughter, society darling and actress)  by James Brough, 6/9/2013, 3 stars.   Lillie Langtry came from the island of Jersey.  Independent, outgoing and determined, Lily married more...
