#GetMovin Day 2 Photo Challenge - The prompt for today was #HigherGround. This is all that kept coming to my mind. It‘a an adventure book that talks about the authors personal experience/tragedy on Mount Everest! A mountain is considered #HigherGround! 😁📚
Dry land needed to be pretty damn high😁
Credit goes to my BFF for this one❤️

Something I was excited to do on my last trip to NOLA was visit cemeteries. Because of the flooding, burial has to take place on #higherground. The ornate look of the cemeteries has always stuck out to me. I read this book back in 2010 before my trip. #getmovin
pickAlly's mother, Elizabeth, is a rigid riligious extremist, always working to elevate herself to a moral #higherground. It doesn't bode well for Ally, who is unable to meet the standards set by her sanctimonious mother, no matter her success. This is a dark look at a nineteenth century English upbringing in the midst of the suffragette movement. I will definitely be reading more of Moss!!

I think I can #multitask this book...it has #creepycharacters (Mrs. Poole, anyone?). Jane, my favorite #litsyclassics #heroine takes morally #higherground after learning about Bertha, but turns her #sorrowintotreasuredgold by the end. ❤️

#GetMovin #HigherGround These six books from my 'read' stack are are all set in or around higher ground--the mountains in New Mexico, in Colorado, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Swiss Alps, the Adirondacks, and in the case of the tagged book--post-apocalyptic England.
pickThe #higherground of the Alps provides healing in this classic. Heidi goes to live in the mountains with Alm-Uncle and quickly discovers the beauty of living in nature. When she is forced to live in Frankfurt she prays for a return to the mountains. Faith, family, and friendship all figure heavily in this book, which I adored as a child (leading to a years along obsession with Switzerland and goat‘s milk). #heroine #getmovin #litsyclassics
Beautiful writing about the beautiful respite Patroclus and Achilles find at #higherground

In this book, there is a sort of palace in the sky where blue skinned gods and goddesses use the #HigherGround to wreck havoc and create nightmares for the people below them. Until Lazlo Strange shows up and realizes things might not be as black and white as they seem.
All this might sound strange, but it was such a beautiful book, that I can only recommend reading it (if you like YA-ish fantasy, so probably not for you @Cinfhen 😉)
