pickThis was such a sweet read — quick and simple, but enjoyable and emotional. Logan and Addie make a great couple, filling in each other‘s needs neatly and with fantastic chemistry. I don‘t love the third act break up, so it lost points there, but at least there was a solid reason for it and didn‘t feel forced or needless. Also, the spice was excellent.

pickIn 1932, a pregnant Margret Wittmer moved with her husband and young stepson to Floreana, a small island in the Galapagos. They believed that getting out of the city and going back to nature was the only way to cure their sickly child. This is her memoir of how the family managed to survive then thrive on this basically uninhabited (at the time) island. This is a story about strong people who had more courage and fortitude than I could ever have.
pick3⭐. It's divided into 4 parts. I thought the 4th part was most interesting. Charlie the dog was precious. It's nonfiction taking place in 1960.
pickNonfiction about an expedition to kayak the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet. It‘s a wild story and about more than just the river.
"When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured my mature people that maturity would cure this itch."
