In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage | Silvia Vasquez-Lavado

pick

Wow! This book had so many threads and I was completely entangled and wrapped up in each one. Silvia shares her journey from young girl to being one of the few women to scale Everest. In between those years Silvia recalls all the traumas & obstacles that led her to face the mother of all summits. This works for multiple prompts #ReadingTheAmericas23 #Peru

The Imperfects | Amy Meyerson

I‘m LOVING this book…its literally set on my old street where I first grew up in Lower Merion… Edgehill Road. This would work for several #52Books23 prompts - still not sure which prompt I‘ll use it for. I‘m 💯 certain the author, Amy Meyerson is a local girl…right @DivineDiana ? !! She‘s already named Hymies and Laurel Hill Cemetery 😁

squirrelbrain How cool! 😁 1y

Read-y_Picker That's so fun!

CBee I doubt I‘ll ever find a book set in my hometown (Vicksburg, MS) unless it‘s Civil War related nonfiction 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 1y

Cinfhen I literally grew up on 203 Edgehill Road - it‘s so random why the author chose that street😄 @CBee @Read-y_Picker @squirrelbrain @IndoorDame - it is pretty cool - I texted all my siblings they weren‘t as amused 😂 1y

AmyG That‘s pretty wild. What town is this in? Our town in NJ had an Edge Hill. 1y

Cinfhen It‘s set in Lower Merion, Pa @AmyG outside of Philly - author keeps mentioning local deli‘s and other local spots. She obviously spent time in the area 1y

AmyG I thought it was PA! It‘s fun reading about places you know. Harlan Coben lives a few towns over from where we lived in NJ and he would write about the area. 1y

ShelleyBooksie What! Harlan Coben lives by you @AmyG !! Jelly. 1y

Librarybelle Oh! Stacking! 1y

AmyG @ShelleyBooksie He used to when we lived in NJ. 2 towns over. 1y

DivineDiana Thank you for putting on my radar! I visited her Website and read that although she currently lives in Los Angeles area, she is originally from Philadelphia! Stacked! 😘 1y

Cinfhen Yes, totally love that about Coben @AmyG my brother lives in West Orange and his kids went to the Jewish Day School in Livingston - I need to pick up a Coben, it‘s been a while. I think @Suzze knows Coben @ShelleyBooksie or there‘s a connection 🙌🏻 1y

Cinfhen I‘m enjoying the book @Librarybelle @DivineDiana interesting history too but it‘s a little slow in the middle. I‘m listening to audio via hoopla & I always like Cassandra Campbell as a reader🙌🏻 1y

Bklover 2nd package has arrived. 😁😁😁👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ #muglove 1y

Cinfhen Yay @Bklover 🙌🏻I haven‘t spoken to my mom since I arrived in Morocco/ terrible Wi-Fi but I assume package has arrived. Going to Fez today so maybe Wi-Fi will improve ❣️😄 1y

Suzze @Cinfhen @AmyG @ShelleyBooksie I haven‘t talked to Harlan in years, but I got to know him early on in his career. He even used my name, Suzze T. as a character in a couple of his books. 1y

Cinfhen Hi @Suzze ♥️what‘s new??? Hope all is well 1y

ShelleyBooksie What!!!! That is SO amazing!!! I would faint if he wrote my name in a book. LOL 1y

Suzze @Cinfhen I‘m pretty good. I hang out mostly on TikTok (BookTok) @suzzereadsalot 1y

Cinfhen I haven‘t ventured onto TikTok @Suzze hell, im still not on FB 😂😂😂but I‘m glad to hear you‘re well. 1y
