Took 25 books to this “take one, leave one” book trolley at the mall, and found this one! For once it went this way, but very satisfied 🙂

pickA low pick because I certainly had a lot of feelings while reading this. The overriding feeling is one of futility. It seems like such a waste that Mallory died on Everest when he could have stayed safe after the first expedition. But then again I am not at all adventurous 🙃 Great narration on audio by Roger Allam.
What‘s more #adventurous than trying to be the first person to conquer Mount Everest. This is a great fictionalised account of George Mallory‘s exploits leading up to, and including, his attempt on Everest. Was he the first person to conquer the mountain?!? I recommend this book.

A real shame Everest cost him his life. If only we knew if he conquered Everest before he was killed. We‘ll most probably never know! #Mountain #QuotsyDec18
I recommend the tagged book which is a fictionalised version of his life, thoroughly enjoyable.
Loved this book about George Mallory, his life, and his fateful journey to be the first to conquer Mount Everest? You will have to read the book! Definitely recommend, this is a pacy read.

#NoteworthyNovember #Mountains Loved this book by Jeffrey Archer which told George Mallory's story and his pursuit to climb Mount Everest. This had a light and easy reading style, but it is a book that has stayed with me - especially the ending! 😢
