pickA soft pick. There were some issues I had to handwave but I concentrated on the interesting work the expedition was doing. I enjoyed seeing the same events through more than one POV- it was a good reminder that people often view things very differently from others without being motivated by maliciousness.
The descriptions of nature & the acknowledgement that there were competing ideas about how to protect (& exploit) the park were good.
so-soSome of these are so insignificant, and just included so that Montefiore can talk about the context. Sometimes that's interesting, sometimes less so, but honestly I found the letters and choice thereof fairly meh.
Also the organisation is weird. Themes I can get, but chronology within each theme is all jumbled.
I'm in my #happyplace enjoying some genuine quiet time. As in, not only am I the only one up, but, the quiet up here is truly quiet. There is NO noise. Heavenly.
I don't expect to get through all of these books but it would be nice.

Took my October #BookSpinBingo board out for a walk today in the crisp 89° weather ? I think this is the first month this year where both picks are actual books and not just challenge or format placeholders.
Two bingos on the board, was so close for two more! Still an amazing month with some fantastic reads. My best read book of the year is going to be incredibly difficult. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks Completed my #bookspin but not double.
