Pleased to pick this up in my little local bookstore today. Humphrey‘s is very inspiring and encouraging of everyone to get outside and enjoy nature. As a response to climate issues and national honey pot sites being over visited his new ideas are about taking one map - where you live - and exploring it grid by grid.

Deifio Great idea! 2mo
Chrissyreadit is it specific to your area or more about strategies and encouragement or something else all together? 2mo

I decided to read this historical fiction novel set in 1623 Madrid while I was visiting the city on my recent vacation. The photos are all from the Royal Palace.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced adventure story, filled with interesting historical details and likable characters, and I've put the next book in the series on my TBR.

A super cute fantasy picture book with engaging page layouts and lots to discover. The story is fairly standard, but I think kids will remember the illustrations and comic-like layout. #PictureBook #Fantasy #Family

I love Biggles, and Gimlet is by the same author. Plenty of adventure and camaraderie. Loved it.

The witches were waiting.
The fire blazed behind the three cloaked figures like a scene from Macbeth—if Macbeth had been set in a bombed-out trailer park.

I mean why not add another challenge to my ever growing list, 😂!

Looking for a book set in each state of the US. I love thrillers, romance (dark romances are my thing!), YA, mystery, and contemporary.

Also if anyone wants to join me in this journey, I would love a “travel” buddy/support system (we don‘t have to read the same books) let me know!!

Thanks!!💙💙💙

BarkingMadRead I‘ve done this every year and never completed it lol 1y
AsYouWish @BarkingMadRead This is my first time and am guessing some states are going to be more difficult than others. We will see how it goes, 😁 1y

AsYouWish @TheBookgeekFrau Yay!!! I have knocked out 3 states so far (my other books took place in Europe!!). I am currently working on my 4th. 14mo
TheBookgeekFrau @AsYouWish I've got Colorado done as 2 of the 3 books I've read so far this year we're both set there. The other was a cross country travel story that I might use in a pinch 😁 Happy Travels to us; I've always wanted to see the country this way!! 😆 14mo
AsYouWish @TheBookgeekFrau Yeah, one of mine I might have stretched a bit to make it work, but at least one chapter took place there so…it counts, right?!😂 14mo
TheBookgeekFrau @AsYouWish Absolutely!! 😆 14mo

17th century Spanish swashbucklers. I love this series. Anyone else read this series or other Perez-Reverte? #adventrecommends

MaureenMc I haven‘t read this one, but I loved The Club Dumas and The Flanders Panel. (I really need to read more of him.) 1y

My campaign to read all the robot books in my local library continues...🤪
Standouts here were the beautiful cut paper silhouette art in Can you find my robot's arm? The adventure montages in the very sweet The Little Wooden Robot and the The Log Princess, and attention to accuracy in depicting planets (see author's note) in The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot. 🤖
