The Pacific Crest Trail is one of the toughest hikes in the US. Running between the Canadian/US border at one end & the US/Mexico border at the other, it totals 2653 miles. Its terrain encompasses whole gamut between deserts & snow-logged trails, minimal signage, & the local wildlife includes rattlesnakes & bears.

I finished The Sugar Queen yesterday. I read this book the #AuthorAMonth challenge. @Soubhiville
I may start another book today.
Started a new audiobook with The Beach Cafe by Lucy Diamond.
An enjoyable start so far and am enjoying the narrator and storyline, a feel good factor.

Cove & her dive team arrive at the place where the 'Arcadia' is said to have been rediscovered after sinking 60+ years before. Off-course & giving out strange emergency messages, the 'Arcadia' went down leaving no survivors & the mystery of what happens could now be solved by Cove & the others.

In this mentally abusive relationship, she struggles with her identity & understanding herself & human emotions. I found it to be an intriguing ⬇️

Read as one of my November #Roll100 picks (#8 Any #BOTM) I was sad when I heard Osman was detouring from writing his Thursday Murder Club series to start a new one but I need not have worried, this series has a similar style & humor & I have a feeling it will grow on me even more as it unfolds. As it was I had a blast with Amy, her father-in-law Steve & especially Rosie, a world famous author not just along for ⬇️
Started a new book, and I always enjoy books by Margaret Dickinson so hope to enjoy this. #ReadAway2024 @DieAReader @Ghabi4Roses
A palate cleanser after the crime books, the mysteries and the all-action thrillers.

Finished belatedly for #Roll100 in September (#41 Any Book of Stories) I both read & listened to it, having been drawn to it as a #BOTM selection months ago. This is where #BOTM gets it right, selecting Diane Oliver, an author who tragically died in a motorcycle accident in 1966 at just 22 with 4 stories published + 2 more posthumously. This collection is 14 stories & while not all of them were perfect, they are amazingly good & ⬇️
