#GetMovin Day 2 Photo Challenge - The prompt for today was #HigherGround. This is all that kept coming to my mind. It‘a an adventure book that talks about the authors personal experience/tragedy on Mount Everest! A mountain is considered #HigherGround! 😁📚

Cinfhen Great choice and fantastic book😍 6y

Something I was excited to do on my last trip to NOLA was visit cemeteries. Because of the flooding, burial has to take place on #higherground. The ornate look of the cemeteries has always stuck out to me. I read this book back in 2010 before my trip. #getmovin

BookishBeth Did you visit St Louis Cemetery No 1? 6y
Reviewsbylola I honestly have no idea. 😂 I don‘t think so. @BookishBeth 6y

Mdargusch Thankfully so there aren‘t bodies floating down the street every time there is a flood. 6y
emilyhaldi Love nola cemeteries 🖤🖤🖤🖤 6y
Titania I grew up on the Mississippi coast not too far from NO. We had cemeteries with above ground crypts, too, in certain areas. I remember a couple of times the flooding was bad enough to pop the cement tops resulting in caskets floating around. 😱 6y
britt_brooke The cemeteries there are so beautiful. 💚 6y
Cinfhen Stunning!!! Looks so sacred and holy. NOLA is on my #MustVisit list 💜 6y
LeahBergen I ❤️ New Orleans! 6y

Ally's mother, Elizabeth, is a rigid riligious extremist, always working to elevate herself to a moral #higherground. It doesn't bode well for Ally, who is unable to meet the standards set by her sanctimonious mother, no matter her success. This is a dark look at a nineteenth century English upbringing in the midst of the suffragette movement. I will definitely be reading more of Moss!!

DebinHawaii This sounds good! Stacking! 📚📚📚 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Sounds good! I‘ve only heard of this author because of Litsy. 😊 Yes, I remember @Kalalalatja posted about this author. 👍 6y
readordierachel Ooh, this sounds excellent! 6y
Cinfhen Sara Moss is so beloved on Litsy and I just found out she‘s a local mainline (philly) author @DivineDiana 6y
Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi Woohoo, I‘m so glad you liked it, and great review 👏 @Reviewsbylola @erzascarletbookgasm she writes some amazing books! 6y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen I could swear she‘s from the UK? You sure it‘s the same Sarah Moss? 😄 6y
Cinfhen Hmmm, I‘m pretty sure @Kalalalatja maybe I‘m mixing up my Sarah‘s who write fantasy!?! lol I‘ll need to confirm with my brother, he‘s the one who told me 6y
Cinfhen So google tells me you‘re right @Kalalalatja 🙌🏻now I need to figure out who‘s the local Philly girl!?!! 🤔🤭 6y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen Phew, I was afraid I had read something completely wrong 😅 and this Sarah Moss doesn‘t write fantasy, so they definitely sound like two persons 👯‍♀️ 6y
LeahBergen I love this cover! 6y
DivineDiana @Cinfhen It‘s a mystery! 6y
Cinfhen I remember now!!! It‘s Sarah J Mass @DivineDiana @Kalalalatja and her husband is believe it or not a cabinetry artist who‘s working on my SIL sister‘s house in Lower Merion, Diana!!! Thank God my fuzzy brain remembered!!!!! 6y
DivineDiana @Cinfhen I had no idea! Now, I need to read one of her books! 🙂 6y

I think I can #multitask this book...it has #creepycharacters (Mrs. Poole, anyone?). Jane, my favorite #litsyclassics #heroine takes morally #higherground after learning about Bertha, but turns her #sorrowintotreasuredgold by the end. ❤️

#GetMovin #HigherGround These six books from my 'read' stack are are all set in or around higher ground--the mountains in New Mexico, in Colorado, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Swiss Alps, the Adirondacks, and in the case of the tagged book--post-apocalyptic England.

Cinfhen Gorgeous collage💙💚 6y
Centique Wow - mountain settings must be your thing! I struggled to find any. 😋 6y

Heidi (Classic) | Johanna Spyri

Pickpick

The #higherground of the Alps provides healing in this classic. Heidi goes to live in the mountains with Alm-Uncle and quickly discovers the beauty of living in nature. When she is forced to live in Frankfurt she prays for a return to the mountains. Faith, family, and friendship all figure heavily in this book, which I adored as a child (leading to a years along obsession with Switzerland and goat‘s milk). #heroine #getmovin #litsyclassics

Lcsmcat Did you share this with @KassKho last year when she was doing #theheidiproject? It‘s a beautiful edition!! 6y
Blaire @Lcsmcat no! I didn‘t know about that. @KassKho it is one of my favorites and my dad got me this edition for my 30th birthday a while back. It is one of my favorite possessions. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Such a great pick! We watched the movie recently with our granddaughter and loved it! 6y
Cinfhen This photo is stunning! Nice job on the #multitasking 🤓👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y
Bambolina_81 Great choice. I love that photo! 6y
Centique I love Heidi so much, as a kid wanted a bed made up for me out of straw along with a cheese sandwich and a glass of milk! 6y
Blaire @Cinfhen thanks! My stepdad took that picture when he and my mom honeymooned in Switzerland. 6y
Blaire @BarbaraTheBibliophage the Shirley temple one? I need to watch it with my kids. 6y
Blaire @Bambolina_81 thanks!! It‘s one my stepdad took in Switzerland 6y
Blaire @Centique yep! That was me. When we had to a report on a country in grade 4, I picked Switzerland because of this book and pretended to be Heidi eating cheese and tending to goats a lot. 6y
Centique @Blaire awww that‘s cute 😍 6y

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor
post image

In this book, there is a sort of palace in the sky where blue skinned gods and goddesses use the #HigherGround to wreck havoc and create nightmares for the people below them. Until Lazlo Strange shows up and realizes things might not be as black and white as they seem.

All this might sound strange, but it was such a beautiful book, that I can only recommend reading it (if you like YA-ish fantasy, so probably not for you @Cinfhen 😉)
