Yellowstone: The Official Guide to Touring America's First National Park | Yellowstone Association

I just started watching Yellowstone (I know I am behind!) & have quickly become obsessed with Rip & Beth‘s relationship/dynamic! Anyone have any good recommendations for books that have their vibe?

Doesn‘t have to be cowboy themed - I am open to all books with their vibe.

No triggers, but not a fan of pregnancy or children in romance books.

(I know I just made a big post about reading all my physical books - I can‘t help it, lol!)

A Walk in the Woods | Bill Bryson

so-so

A Walk in the Woods recounts Bill Bryson‘s courageous decision to embark on a hike along the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. At least that‘s how far the trail extends. Through his journey, Bill takes readers on a humorous adventure, sharing comedic anecdotes about life on the trail.

The Unlikely Thru-Hiker: An Appalachian Trail Journey | Derick Lugo

pick

A truly lovely recounting by a lovely individual. Lugo/Mr. Fabulous's attitude made all the difference, in his hike and in his narration. This has to be the only hiking memoir I've read that really didn't stress the hardships of the trail, (not that it missed reporting on them, or regarding hijinks and humourous misfortunes), and also completely skipped the 'gearing up' phase. It is purely moments on the trail, and rest stops as appropriate. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Fabulous is an amateur at the start but he humbly indicates gains in experience and wisdom. There are sights seen and obstacles overcome but mostly there are people he meets and hikes with, and his own emotional landscape. Fab does touch on the experiences of being one of the few if not the only current Black thru-hiker, as well as being profiled as a Rastafarian with a weed connection, but the framing does feel like discomfiting subjects 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? he wants to shrug off with equanimity and humour, rather than make a larger topic of discussion. His memoir, his choice.
Aside from indicating the benefit of a positive outlook (or maybe just a naturally chill, kind demeanor), I wouldn't necessarily consider the book direct inspiration for hiking the Appalachian Trail, unless you're already very invested, but if you enjoy walking/hiking memoirs, this one's a real treat. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 ⚠️A dog is a brief companion on the walk, and its fate is uncertain, as much as it's returned to its owner, so if you're sensitive to this, watch out for Chapter 20, Magic.
On the other side of the coin, Chapter 6, Farewell to Indoor Plumbing is hilarious (no grossness, promise). (edited) 2mo
