Brave the Wild River: The Untold Story of Two Women Who Mapped the Botany of the Grand Canyon | Melissa L. Sevigny

pick

Look at that, another book about the Grand Canyon. I am besotted with this natural wonder and I hope to make plans for our family to visit next year. This book is about two female botanists who journey into the canyon with a group of men. They cataloged plants and recorded their excursion…thanks to the journals the author was able to refer to source material and write about each woman and her experiences doing what women hadn‘t before.

Lindy It‘s a shame about the damage from the Dragon Bravo wildfire in the Grand Canyon. 😕 3w

be #brave & #playoutside this #julyjazz 🤗

this is an outdated camping book, but the only thing that isn‘t helpful anymore is the price range for each campground.
& the photography is STUNNING though!

Wedding Cake Crumble | Jenn McKinlay

Wedding bells are chiming in this 10th addition to the Cupcake Bakery series, and Mel finds herself once again trying to identify the killer. The multiple murders in this one are a little gruesome (off page, but you can read between the lines). It‘s fun to see how the characters have developed over the course of the series, with several more books to go. Good listen, and a fast listen too!

The Bean Trees | Barbara Kingsolver

My son read this for his freshman English class and I‘ve been meaning to read it since. (He‘s a senior now 🤷‍♀️)

I loved it. It touches on a lot of sad topics, but with a lot of hope.

The Bean Trees | Barbara Kingsolver

“What I‘m saying is nobody feels sorry for anybody anymore, nobody even pretends they do. Not even the President. It‘s like it‘s become unpatriotic.” The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver (1988)

julesG When I was a teenager I always wanted to carry a sixpack of coke cans like they did on TV. But the can holders either never made it to Europe or where banned by the time I could have bought them. In case you're wondering, we can buy single cans or six in a cardboard sleeve. 1mo

coffees It's sad to see that for all the time that's passed, many things remain the same 1mo

Bookwormjillk @julesG wish we would have made that change here instead of cutting up a bunch of plastic and throwing it in the ocean anyway! 1mo

julesG Yet just about an hour ago I saw 4 coca cola cans completely enveloped in plastic foil. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe a bit better than the can holders but still 😐. But, we don't throw our trash into the ocean here in Germany. We don't even do a lot of landfilling anymore. Most non-recycleable trash is burnt in special facilities with lots of air filters to make sure we don't add to the environmental pollution. 1mo

Three Keys: A Novel | Laura Pritchett

so-so

There were parts of this I enjoyed along with parts I really disliked. I ended up skimming the last third because I was pretty tired of Ammalie by then.
