Dip: Wild Swims from the Borderlands | Andrew Fusek Peters

Subtitled "Wild Swims From the Borderlands", this has been on my TBR for a long, long time. Maybe 2021 is the year I finally read it! Anyone else have those long-haul TBRs you just never seem to get around to? #InTheWild #WindsOfMarch
@Eggs

JamieArc I can‘t resist books about swimming! We‘ll see how long I can wait before I purchase this... 5y

Andrea313 @JamieArc "Books About Swimming" sounds like a new genre I need to get into! Do you have a favorite or two to recommend? 5y

JamieArc @Andrea313 Why yes I do! I‘ll tag them. 5y

JamieArc This is fiction, but surrounds a public pool. It got me through a period during the pandemic when I couldn‘t swim and was craving it.

The Lido

JamieArc I really enjoyed this memoir

Swimming Studies

JamieArc This was a recent non-fiction book. I really liked it.

Why We Swim

JamieArc Lastly, I just read Wintering by Katherine May, and in different parts she talks about swimming, and those parts have stuck with me. 5y

Andrea313 @JamieArc Wow, thank you for all of these recommendations! I'm adding them to my wish list now. ❤️📚🏊 5y

Eggs Excellent 📚👏🏻📚 5y

Jump at the Sun: The True Life Tale of Unstoppable Storycatcher Zora Neale Hurston | Alicia D. Williams

pick

#WindsOfMarch Day 19: Zora Neale Hurston lived much of her young life #InTheWild, jumping at the sun as her mother advised. There is joyful exuberance depicted here as she catches one story after another, and transforms them in her own unique way, making the stories hers. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-n7Y

Kings of the Wyld | Nicholas Eames

#DeweyJuly #InTheWild

This debut author released Kings Of The Wyld last year featuring a ragtag group of adventurers that have passed their prime but have to get the band back together one more time.

Light hearted and full of humour they trek across the wild. The sequel, Bloody Rose, comes out next month. ❤️🏃‍♂️❤️

SilversReviews Love the basil. 7y

LeahBergen Your basil is looking nice. 👍🏻 7y

Lynnsoprano Your basil looks nice and healthy. 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @SilversReviews @LeahBergen @Lynnsoprano thanks all. Usually, since I'm in the Canadian Prairies, I just grow my herbs indoors, but this year I'm trying some outdoors growing over the summer to see how it goes. So far so good. 👌 7y

SilversReviews @GrilledCheeseSamurai I grow mine in pots on the porch so the critters and the deer won‘t eat them. 7y

Hmm... I'm not sure I want to venture into the wild with this Where The Wild Things Are adaptation. Anyone read it?

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

I read this in HS. It's the story of Chris McCanliss and how he went on a journey to find himself and a new meaning to life #InTheWild. Unfortunately, I'll luck befalls and his body is found by a moose hunter. I need to go back and revisit this book at some point. #HopIntoSpring @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

AshleyHoss820 I have this on my TBR! It sounds interesting...and sad... 7y

vkois88 @AshleyHoss820 I can't really remember much about it in detail, but it definitely was an interesting story. I'll probably read it over again to refresh my memory, and then watch the movie adaptation. 7y

AshleyHoss820 @vkois88 I may have to move it up my TBR pile and do the same! 😊 7y

13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear | Walter Moers

This is our current family read aloud, a tale of Bluebear‘s lives #inthewild of Zamonia. I love the amazing vocabulary it exposes them to, and the kids loves the giggle-inducing silliness of it all. Great stuff in spite of its 700 pages, lol.
