A low pick. It was slow going but I warmed up to Miss Mole's character as the novel progressed. It's always a pleasure reading VMC editions with the beautiful covers, though this isn't the classic green one.

Finishing up my September #BookspinBINGO reads.

This was a re-read for me, and it is one of the ones I like more from the sequels to Green Gables. WWI is here and the impacts on PEI are felt by all. Sad and hopeful all at the same time.

A low pick. I am enjoying this sci-fi cosy mystery series, but mostly for it's interesting setting on Jupiter.

AllDebooks I loved #192025 challenge. It's such a fun way to choose titles. I lost my way a bit over the last year. I'll move my planned reads onto the new challenge and start again. 😍 1w

Gissy It sounds so good. I need a journal to write what I want to read and maybe we can see what others choose? Just to have recommendations 😃 1w
Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead 😂 You‘re more than welcome to join or think about it! 1w
Librarybelle @Gissy A journal is a good idea! I also have a spreadsheet I update semi annually with my titles from the #192025 challenge. There are some participants who post what they plan to read or what they have read, which is a good way for recommendations. I also hashtag the year on my posts for the challenge, so you can search a year‘s hashtag on Litsy to see what has been read. But yes, any way for recommendations is good! 1w

A short classic about the lives of some of the people who died in a 1700‘s bridge collapse in Peru. The stories stood on their own but were somewhat interconnected. Not a bad book but pretty melancholy. #192025 #1927 I‘m getting there! @Librarybelle

Another sweeping masterpiece by Pat Conroy. After his wife‘s suicide Jack leaves the US with his daughter to heal in Italy. South Carolina finds him though and carries him back. This almost 1,000 page book covered everything from WWII to the Vietnam War and beyond. #192025 (1995) #ReadingUSA (South Carolina)

BkClubCare 1000 pages? 2w
Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare yes, almost. Fixed my typo where I said almond instead of almost. I need to stop typing reviews on my phone without glasses 😂

The audiobook was 27 hours, so it was a chunkster!
2w
BkClubCare It‘s been on my list but… I am back into an anti-chunkster phase 😂 2w
Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare I hear you. I put it on my holds list before I saw how long it was and then almost quit. This time of year I am trying to meet my goals not spend half a month listening to one book. But it was worth it! 2w

OutsmartYourShelf
post image
Pickpick

Summer 1985, & two young mountaineers, Joe & Simon, set off from camp to climb a route no-one had conquered before. After several days they reached the summit with a few minor issues, but when setting off back down Joe has a catastrophic accident resulting in him breaking his leg. Disaster! Although Simon initially tries to belay Joe down the mountain, a snow storm develops which results in him having to leave Joe for dead.

OutsmartYourShelf Joe is not dead, however, & this book is the story of his unbelievable fight to survive & get down to the camp before the others leave.

This is a, what seems at times, minute-by-minute recounting of Joe's experiences on this climb in 1985. It's very detailed & honest, but it's not a book to read if you have anxiety! At the point where Joe was still trying to reach the camp & the others were preparing to leave it,
3w
OutsmartYourShelf I felt myself becoming physically anxious that he wasn't going to make it - even though the book obviously says otherwise. Also, at first I felt rather irritated & indignant about Simon's decision, but the reader has the advantage of hindsight & after sitting with this for a short while, I could understand them more. It's not an easy read though. 3.5🌟
