Visited friends in Wisconsin recently and there were so many little libraries everywhere! I was delighted to find the tagged book in one. Coincidentally, I recognized it because it was often in the “by our staff” shelves in the bookstore at Colorado State University in Fort Collins where my friend and I got our M.S., and the book is related to her current thesis project. #LittleFreeLibrary

Needed calming music today, so my National Parks playlist it is. 🎶

pickFor being dated, this book is still absolutely on point. All the arguments are as valid as ever. Definitely worth reading if you haven‘t. It was hard going, reading about so many dead animals and sick people, but we need to keep books like this in regular rotation.
so-so2.5⭐️ The main reason for the rating is that the author spent way too much time discussing the sea otter and lumber trade and wish he had spent more time on Hadwin‘s story. #2025 #nonfiction #bookclub #britishcolumbia
pickI‘m all over the map on this book. Here are my random thoughts:
1. Don‘t listen to the audiobook. Apparently you can‘t tell that there is a section of the narrative that is in italics which is an important feature of the story. (At least that‘s what Reddit readers said.)
2. It took me forever to get into it and I really had to push to finish it.
3. You have to finish it. But it will give you a headache.
4. The ocean is magical. AI sucks.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
Valentine's Day gift for my spouse. Slightly self-serving because I REALLY want him to read this so I can talk to him about it.
