pickI really liked Way Station. It‘s such a hopeful book. Simak‘s vision of humanity‘s future is an optimistic one of a united galaxy. When so many people — including me — view humanity through a negative lens, it‘s nice to read something with a more positive outlook. Read The Wishing Game sitting on the beach and listened to Lightning Strike on my #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC
I wasn‘t in the mood for either The Mystery Writer or David Copperfield, so I went with a world I‘m really familiar with — that of Cork O‘Connor. I think I just needed something I didn‘t have to concentrate on. Cork is only 12 here, and his father is alive. #audiowalk
I wasn‘t in the mood for The Mystery Writer, and I was having issues with Hoopla anyway, so I listened to David Copperfield on my #audiowalk. It rained this morning and was pretty chilly this evening.
I had a nice day out with my husband. We drove to Weeks Bay and then to a couple of other parks. I‘d wanted to visit the pitcher plant bog, but it‘s closed — they‘re doing construction on the boardwalks. We listened to Way Station, which we are loving, and I listened to The Mystery Writer on my #audiowalk
pickFor a book about the disappearance of a child, this is a surprisingly quiet, character-driven story. We don‘t remain in ignorance of what happened to Ruthie for very long, and that knowledge allows the story to just flow. After I finished it, I started Way Station, but I think it‘s something my husband will also like, so I‘ll choose a new #audiowalk book, and Way Station will become our road trip listen.
I started this yesterday after finishing Desolation Mountain in the middle of my #audiowalk. It feels very much like William Kent Krueger‘s stand-alone novels — especially This Tender Land. I like it so far.
My boy loved our greenway walk this morning! We usually walk in our neighborhood, so he digs a little change of pace.

pickThis book was more interesting for character growth and a hint at a possible major change than for the plot, which involves a possible conspiracy. I enjoyed it. #audiowalk
Still enjoying this book, and it‘s interesting watching Steven‘s journey to manhood. I hate that white flower in the picture above the book cover. It‘s the only thing I can smell blooming before I see it, and it makes my eyes water and itch and my nose start running. 😣 #audiowalk
