I find myself in Canada today. I‘ve just started the inaugural #OhCanada read. New author for me and the first couple chapters are promising, though I know it‘s also going to make me sad.

Lucy works at the Columbus zoo with a troop of gorillas. She is incredibly excited to see them featured on a docuseries hosted by Kai Bridges, the (Steve Irwin-esque) son of her primatologist idol. But her first meeting with Kai doesn't go so well...

#WhereAreYouMonday

I am in Siberia with Moritz Daniecki, a fugitive from a POW camp. We have to cross 7,000 kilometres over the Russian Steppes to reach his village and his sweetheart, whose memory has kept him alive through carnage and captivity.

The other half of the book is set in Ecuador so I‘m quite busy 😀

Funny, queer, D&D like, adventure story with 🌶️

I‘m mainly in Long Bennington in Lincolnshire off the Great North Road where Margaret Drabble‘s maternal grandparents had a tea house and lodging during her childhood. This is a gentle, introspective memoir, focusing mainly on one favorite aunt, but also quite meandering.
