Okay. 💁🏼‍♂️ I'm honestly no longer sure what I wanted this book to be, so can't really assess whether it delivered. It's not that it tried to be too many things - it was concise in its treatment of various people involved in the development of the Appalachian Trail, you got a sense of who they were and how they contributed. Maybe I'm not cut out for straight history/short biographies when I'm unsure of my interest level in the subject matter? 1/

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I have varying success with memoirs so maybe that was another contributing factor. D'Anieri stated the facts, and even when the facts of a person's life were upsetting, overall the information recounted felt, not dry but not particularly engaging either. Even his personal reflections of certain sections...went down easy, didn't leave much of an impression. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 1mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I did write down a couple books related to people I want to learn more about, so there's that. Maybe I should look for the history of a trail that's personally significant? Maybe disregard this review if the topic/treatment is more your thing.

“urban sprawl“ really is a phrase that evokes the ick.
Alas, for the proposed alternative to sprawl and suburbs I would love to see more of present day.

50 must do adventures for each of the 50 states!

This was just as gorgeous as Siber‘s other book. Lovely bright colors, a diverse array of people portrayed, and in depth explanations of beautiful and unique experiences in every state. Also loved the recognition for various Native tribes that used to live, and still live today in different areas. The nibling loved reading this one to me! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

“Within National Parks is room-glorious room-room in which to find ourselves, in which to think and hope, to dream and plan, to rest and resolve.” ~Enos Mills

I‘ve been following Amber Share on Instagram for quite awhile so I was especially excited to get this from @wideeyedreader for Mother‘s Day. I loved it ❤️

#StorySettings Day 4: #Mountain. I appreciated the juxtaposition of the poetic descriptions of each mountain and/or national park. I love how the essence of each place is captured by a few words – just four deceptively-simple lines – that speak of beauty, joy, wonder. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-pC1

I inhaled this book in a couple of lazy mornings.

If you like mysteries, I would definitely recommend this series. The setting is unique and it gives me insight into how the National Park Service works.

Needless to say, this was the bomb diggity!

Thunderstorms woke me early this morning so I got up. Coffee in hand, I delved into this book and am about 30% read.

This series isn't groundbreaking but it's an enjoyable read with an unique investigator-Harland is a investigator with the National Parks Service.

This series is fun and it's a great way to wrap up a staycation week.

A lovely introduction to a lot of the national parks around the US!

Separated out by regions, there‘s brief blurbs for all sorts of national parks. Then there‘s more in depth explorations of several of the parks.

The adorable artwork illustrates animals, plants, notable landmarks, & exciting phenomena in all of these locations.

This was a delight to share with my nibling, and I can‘t wait to take them to see these places! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
