While discharging books, a library volunteer found a cute flamingo card inside with a donation and thank you message. Made my day at work. 😍 We have some really delightful patrons!

Both a coming-of-age character study and a survival adventure story, I felt like this book veered a bit into the ridiculous trying to pack in every survival scenario possible. I don‘t want to give any spoilers, but there was a twist at the end that really threw me for a loop. Overall entertaining enough, 3.75 stars. Photo is one I took in Crested Butte, CO, an absolutely gorgeous mountain town.

Catching up on #savvysettings:I am almost finished with the somewhat uneven adaptation of Station Eleven. The book is set in the Great Lakes region & Jeevan & Kirsten cross a frozen #lake the first winter after the pandemic. Dead #Mountain is still TBR, but I have been fascinated by the Dyatlov Pass Incident since watching a documentary about it several years ago. Although I have only read the first entry in the Flavia de Luce series, I have never

vivastory forgotten her plotting her revenge against her family members in her #laboratory I vaguely recall there being a #dungeon scene in Lies of Locke Lamora, a sort of fantasy Ocean's Eleven. I was pleased to hear a recent guest on MMD cite it as a fave.

#savvysettings #mountain #day6

Award winning journalist & adventurer, Jon Krakauer, chronicles a climb to the summit of Mt.Everest. 5 people died. Those that survived,including Jon had to deal with survivor‘s guilt. This is his confession and attempt to exercise his guilt ridden demons. Great book!

Eggs It is great! Read it several X 2y

I can remember buying this Apple Classic edition at a school book fair. When I read it, I was transported and fell in love with the setting and Buck. 🐶 Several movies have been made based on this timeless tale, but my favorite is the 93 version with Rick Schroder.

Eggs Thanks for the movie recommendation! 2y

One from my TBR stacks. I learned of this when it was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. Sounds fascinating.
