I'm never sure just what to call these posts ... a hodge podge of titles? Side trails? Variations on a theme? ;-)

This is a tag-along to the scale post (see author's last name) ... Poseidon's Steed: the Story of Seahorses, From Myth to Reality, by Helen Scales. Here is everything (and perhaps a bit more) you've ever wanted to know about seahorses. I got sort of bogged down once or twice, but overall, this was very interesting.

I'm too old to have been a kid in the '90's and find myself astonished that they are being looked back at with nostalgia already! The Totally Sweet '90s: From Clear Cola to Furby and Grunge to "Whatever", the Toys, Tastes, and Trends That Defined a Decade, by Gael Fishingbauer Cooper and Brian Bellmont is a thoughtful look back at what was popular then and an altogether enjoyable read ... even for someone my age!

First Aid for Fairies and Other Fabled Beasts, by Lari Don, is the first in a delightfully fun series involving fairy tale creatures and one "human child"... Set in Scotland, it's a tween read. Their search for the missing book of answers involves solving riddles, unusual means of travel, and a fairy who only wears purple.
