pickIf you enjoy The Mummy with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz (I do!), I feel pretty confident stating you will enjoy this book. This was a lot of fun. I read in print and listened to this one and highly recommend the audio.
Finished January 19, 2025.
Do you pick the book or does the book pick you? I knew I wanted to cleanse the palate with classic fiction. Thought maybe Hunchback or Princess Bride (maybe only the movie is classic😁). My eyes landed on this. Lightbulb. Plus my 11 year old daughter wants to read it. She's developing a taste for classic literature.(She loved P&P). Here's to having the book pick you to read it.
Girl, Stolen series

so-soOne Piece was a huge part of my childhood and teen years. Now as a 30 something I see too many red flags in these stories and characters. But still... still... The manga made me laugh and it was just nice to spend time with those old friends again. And then sexism hits again. And then Oda reverses it. I definitely need some time between each volume. So whenever I feel like, I'm going to read vol. 62. It might take a while.
pickModern explorers do exist, especially in Canada's vast and unforgiving wilderness. We follow Shoalts as he seeks out an uncharted waterway. I've seen reviews complaining that the author comes off as vain and egotistical, but I didn't really get that from the audio. I think every explorer in history has to be vain to some degree, to even attempt their exploits. I do wish I had read a physical copy tho, as I assume it would include photos & maps.
This ebook is on sale right now and it‘s a marvelous read. It‘s the best #letterQ book I‘ve read since doing the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. I highly recommend it and I hope to read it again someday. Definitely an action-packed historical thriller.
pickAn account of Davidson's trek across the Australian desert, but it's not an 'intrepid young adventurer' story. She explorers humanity, nature, brutality, race, and gender. The writing is excellent; it's was a bit of a revel. Highly recommend (though there are instances of intense cruelty to humans and camels described, be advised).
I need to go find the original NatGeo article on the trip, she was funded and photographed by the magazine.
so-soSo far my least favorite book in this series. The entire book is Terry and Andy and an inspector time traveling way back in time and then in the future. Not a lot of the treehouse in this book nor their neighbor or all the animals. Hopefully the next one will be better.
1. The Battle of the Nutcrackers, obvs 🩰
2. I have not yet read this one about the Shackleton expedition but I do have it, as well as Worley‘s take. I went on a spree collecting mountain climbing accounts & other like, already read a few takes on the 1996 Everest climb, Rainbow Valley, don‘t cha know. I myself cannot understand the high mountain-climbing urge. I don‘t wanna die when tis easier to look at pics of it. 🤷🏼♀️
