Welcome to Litsy!

The newly promoted Anna Pigeon is headed from the high desert to the humid Deep South of Mississippi to be the District Ranger of the Natchez Trace. Soon she discovers the body of a teenage prom queen. The novel is filled with mysteries as the killer is tracked down. Is there anyone who willingly answer questions? I like this series. 4/5⭐️

I‘m happy we have a #ranttime tag now!

The NPS has existed for more than 150 years and includes sites in all parts of the country. From Guam to Maine, from Alaska to Puerto Rico, and everywhere in between. Many of the monuments you think of in Washington, such as the Lincoln Memorial, are NPS properties.

What‘s happening to our parks is shameful. The photo is from Yosemite. I hope it‘s not trashed by the time I get to visit someday.

The scene was Glacier National Park. The story had some interesting details about black bears and grizzlies. The characters were interesting and had lots of experiences in the Park. The park ranger, Anna Pigeon is researching and trying to track the bears. The bears are substantially smaller than Alaskan bears, yet large enough to be frightening. There is a murder to solve and mysteries enough to encourage the reader. 4-5

I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone

I found the author to be too self-centered and judgmental to garner my sympathy. She snarks on about the “tourists” who are just after a picture for instagram, yet the hikes she describes taking in those parks I am familiar with are ones we took as a family when my kids were in the single digits - hardly epic hikes. This was my 1st #readyourkindle and I‘m just sorry it‘s not a paperback I can give away. @CBee

Here are my #readyourkindle picks for January. Will I read them all? Doubtful. But I‘ll knock at least one of them off the TBR. @CBee
