Well i just bailed on another book so i have nothing to tell you about!
Instead here is a walk i just took on the weekend. Most of the decent sized hills around Tamaki Makaurau Auckland are extinct/dormant volcanoes. They are culturally and spiritually very important to tangata whenua (Maori) and a few years ago most of them were given into iwi control. Still open to visit but respectfully - and no cars. ⬇️
Centique So this is what an old volcano crater looks like! Theres a lovely boardwalk right around it and great views. This one Maungawhau (Mt Eden) is in a busy inner city suburb. A nice green space to escape to. 7mo

Hooked_on_books That‘s really cool! Very different from the craters here on Hawaii island. I love volcanoes! 7mo
Hooked_on_books And if you haven‘t already read it, this book specifically looks at the terrain in that same spot and indigenous rites. It‘s really good.Better the Blood 7mo

Centique @Hooked_on_books thank you! I really need to get to some Kiwi mystery authors so thats a great recc. I love volcanoes too and hope to visit Hawaii one day. 🤞💕 7mo
batsy That's fascinating! Such a tranquil looking space after all that tumultuous hot lava-spewing activity in the past 🙂 7mo
Centique @batsy 15,000 years later!! Its amazing to think what this mountain has seen 🤯 (we have newer and active volcanoes as well but none near me) 7mo
Reggie About an hour from here we have a caldera, it‘s flat land from where the top of a volcano blew off 50k years ago. Its beautiful. Just wild and natural. They also say we‘re due for another one in the next 50k years. lol That‘s a beautiful pic. Also, I bailed on 2 books this month. One, I was 150 pages deep. 7mo
Rissreads I‘ve been there! 7mo
Centique @Reggie i feel the bailing pain! Ive given up halfway through on a book recently 🥴 7mo
