pickI didn't *adore* this one, but as I've observed before, with these short story collections from the British Library Crime Classics collections, they're often more than the sum of their parts. It makes for a fun survey of classic crime in the period, and there were a couple I liked quite a bit -- R. Austin Freeman's stories are always so detailed, for instance.
Aaand that was my #BookSpin!
This is the #BookSpin, so I settled down to read it today! It's taking me a bit longer than I'd expected, quite a few of the short stories are quite long.
Half the time I am absolutely not using my new chair (a recliner) in the way it was designed, but it's cosy. Illustration: a photo I took earlier to show a friend my silliness.
Strictly speaking, this is about fellwalking rather than #Hiking, but they‘re two sides of the same coin!

The dark wood was green and gold, green where the oak trees stood crowded together with misshapen twisted trunks, red-gold where the great smooth beeches lifted their branching arms to the sky.

My last book for the month. Will I finish it or will I carry it over? It‘s an #auldlangspine choice.

1. I don't picnic much; usually more a quick stop while hiking or cooking while camping. You can never go wrong with a hoagie/sub and chips/popcorn. I'm partial to beer, but a Riesling would be nice.
2. Something light and fun, maybe a collection of short stories or something with short chapters, that would be easy to put down and enjoy the breeze.
Thanks for the tag, @wildalaskabibliophile
bailedI expected to love this novel because at the outset the humor seemed delightfully cheeky! (Pun intended) 😢 Sadly, there was something about the writing that felt disjointed and I couldn‘t find the flow. I got almost 3/4 of the way thru and skipped to the last chapter to see if I could tell where the MC ends up. Seems a rather morally dubious ending. @Jess_Read_This
