Children plus dog explore the island in the cove where one of them lives and look for treasure.

Pure nostalgia with the book which is my earliest memory of owning a book. Read in memory of my uncle who gave it to me and who died last week.

Ruthiella Sorry to hear about your uncle. That is a lovely way to commemorate his memory. ❤️ 1w

Bookish_Thoughts Alaska is our part-time home (mainly summer). Ohio is the other one. I have grandkids in both places. 😍 And I also received your card! 🙂 1w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

It was very interesting to see what it would be like if Iruma joined the student council! The “villain” of this volume was super annoying so hopefully they don‘t show up again anytime soon 😅

#doublespin done - another fun Famous Five book - so much food in this book 😆 also I know it‘s old but I found it hard to believe that anyone would let 4 children go off in a horse drawn caravan by themselves 🤯 Good fun - trying to teach Gary to #bemoretimmy

TheAromaofBooks I haven't read these, but I just finished rereading one of the Swallows & Amazons books (Coot Club) wherein two sets of parents let their children go off in a sailboat with a random stranger and the two children she had staying with her 😂 She had met the parents ONCE and they are just like “oh sure a multi-day sailing/camping adventure sounds like a great time for everyone“ soooo crazy to me! 1w

OutsmartYourShelf
Into Thin Air | Jon Krakauer

An account of an expedition to Everest which culminated in the deaths of 8 people including 2 experienced guides. In March 1996 three separate groups were caught out not far from the summit by a severe storm. This is a detailed account of the climb & an examination of the factors which led to the tragedy & leaves the reader wondering if such exploration is really worth the cost in lives.

OutsmartYourShelf The highest I've ever climbed is Snowden which is a mere 3560 ft - an eighth of Everest's 29,030 ft - & that was enough for me. I am fascinated with the history of mountaineering though so find these books riveting. It's easy reading in hindsight to wince at some of the decisions made but one must also remember that most climbers at that height are suffering from hypoxia which affects decision-making: “there but for the grace of God“ & all.

OutsmartYourShelf This account is in turns intense, thrilling, exhilarating, & tragic as the author takes you with him every step of the way. 4.5🌟

One of my issues with reading challenges is that the list usually changes before the metaphorical ink is dry. For example, I ended up reading The Spy Coast early, so I replaced it with Road Fever which was rec‘d by a friend after I made the list. There was some cursing involved in making the original collage, so I‘m not updating it! #14books14weeks

Anyway, this was a little dated but informative and interesting (once they finally hit the road).

Ruthiella Still, that‘s some good progress! 2w
