Sky Below: A True Story of Summits, Space, and Speed | 
pickInteresting story. This has been in my kindle library forever & I‘m not sure how it got there. It‘s much more autobiography/documentary than story.
Scott Parazynski is/was an astronaut, deep sea diver, Everest summiter, an Olympic Luge participant, physician, husband, and father of two. However, living large and conquering humankind‘s greatest bodily challenges can leave a spouse and offspring in the dust. This kind of adventurous person can be both selfless and selfish...
I'm not sure where T. S. Eliot originally said this, but thought it was a fun quote! #deweysreadathon #reversereadathon
I decided last minute to join #24in48 and started off with a bit of astronaut bio. My conclusion? You must already be crazy to become an astronaut! ;) #bookstagram #astronaut #biography #space
pickThis book was pretty amazing, and I loved the quotes at every chapter. The Kindle in Motion aspect was really nice! The cover moved and changed. I wish I could have captured it better. Scott Parazynski was pretty fascinating and he was so upbeat.
1. Hmm...I just finish Coming Clean, and I am working through The Sky Below and I Know Why the Caged Sings. I really am liking all of those.
2. Nope. We are lucky if my comforter stays on my bed.
3. I have no idea. I asked my fiancee, but he never told me.
4. Pirates! As long as I can be a clean pirate.
5. Will do!!

1. I haven't been on a vacation in years. Here is a picture of my son and fiancee petting goats at the local zoo.
2. Cereal
3. Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon and Vegas
4. Coming Clean and The Sky Below
5. Ebooks and physical books. I am not a huge fan of audiobooks, though I will listen to some.

pickOutstanding! And the fact that it was a Kindle In Motion book made I that much better!
pickLoved my July Amazon Prime pick from the story to the Kindle in Motion features (videos, animated maps, etc--his eyes are even blinking on the cover). Having recently visited NASA, I thought I'd enjoy this book. I did and more. Scott is quite an American hero and we all are blessed for his countless accomplishments. I highly recommend it.
"My mom faithfully washes my #74 jersey every evening in the hotel sink with the local detergent called Barf, or snow in Farsi." My whole family enjoyed this sentence in the book. Reading en route to London but already may have our first delay in our own hometown. ? With only an hour layover to catch the international leg, it's not looking good.
"Belting out riffs from a scratchy cassette tape of Dire Straits, I hadn't yet realized how apt the group's name would be for the upcoming climb." ??❤️
Map from chapter 1, which also included two photographs. I am enjoying these added elements to the Kindle book.
My July Kindle pick. Already it is very good. I partly chose it because of the interactive elements and so far they are pretty darned cool. I'll share some as I go along.
