This first paragraph of chapter 3 is just such a great example of the author‘s writing style. This is just fun to read. I‘m so glad I picked this book next for #readingtheamericas #Peru @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
@Doll8455 Mom, the reference to Sterno reminded me of your telling us just this weekend that you bought a bunch of sterno during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Just classic.
#wondrouswednesday Thanks @Eggs for the tag!
🍏 Autumn in south Texas can still be pretty darned hot. So when it cools off enough I like to head back out to work on cleaning up the mess (all the dead plants) the 100+ degree heat has left for me
🍎 Happy. It was a good day spent at a client‘s office, with lots of folks whose company I enjoy, and ending the day seeing my mom
🍏 Among others, I‘ve just started the tagged book
No good travelogue is complete without a map!! Here we go!! #Peru #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
I‘m very excited about starting this book tonight. Two chapters in and I find the writing style quite fun and the anticipated trek exciting! #Peru #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
pickA Pulitzer Prize winner, Bridge explores the collapse of a fabled bridge in eighteenth-century Peru. It centers around Brother Juniper, a Franciscan monk, who watched 5 people plunge into the water to their deaths. With deft prose, he ponders fate, love, and the interconnectedness of human lives. Beautifully done.

pickThere are only 8 bear species in the world, 6 of which are at risk of extinction. Gloria Dickie takes us to each species to teach about what makes them unique and either glorified or vilified. Really interesting, though I‘ll warn you the part about bears farmed for their bile is really hard to read.

“It says that whenever people cross our paths, there is always a message for us. Chance encounters do not exist. But how we respond to these encounters determines whether we‘re able to receive the message. If we have a conversation with someone who crosses our path and we do not see a message pertaining to our current questions, it does not mean there was no message. It only means we missed it for some reason.”
pickA soft pick. This is an account of the man suspected in the disappearance of Natalie Holloway in Aruba 20-ish years.While there‘s no justice for her family, this monster is currently serving a 28 year sentence in Peru for the vicious murder of another young woman. Reading almost like a Dateline episode, this details his ever changing stories, greed, and attempts to evade law enforcement in multiple countries. ⬇️
