“When I was young in the mountains, I never wanted to go anywhere else.“
“When I was young in the mountains, I never wanted to go anywhere else.“
In When I Was Young in the Mountains, Cynthia Rylant lovingly recalls the simple joys and traditions of growing up in Appalachia. Through vivid and poetic language, paired with Diana Goode's evocative illustrations, this nostalgic tale celebrates family, nature, and a deep sense of belonging to a place filled with love and wonder.
pickWhen I Was Young in the Mountains is a lyrical tribute to the beauty and simplicity of rural life. Cynthia Rylant‘s tender prose captures the spirit of Appalachia, evoking a strong sense of home and community.
pickA beautifully written book on the history of mountains and mountaineering. MacFarlane has invested a great amount of research and emotion in writing this book and it is a must-have in every mountain-lover‘s library. The book delves into how mountains were perceived 200-300 years ago and traces the evolution of mountaineering in the West‘s imagination to the present day. A must read with exquisite prose.
This book right here!!!! I got this book as a gift. I am not a huge Nanny troupe person, but this was worth reading.

Strictly speaking, this is about fellwalking rather than #Hiking, but they‘re two sides of the same coin!

Progress:
Almost forgot to post this week.
I Finished both of the Michelle Paver books. Dark Matter was far better than Thin Air but they were both enjoyable enough. Been making very good progress with F&B though I am trying to pace myself a bit to not finish it in a few days.
pickThe setting was interesting, though this was a bit less character driver than Dark Matter was. I can't say the characters were completely flat but they felt a bit more trope-y than the other book.
My main gripe with it is that a lot of the plot was copy-pasted from Dark Matter and followed the exact same story structure. You can literally draw direct parallels from both, it's a bit too on the nose if you read both.
overall it was good, though.

Progress:
I didn't finish anything this week but I am sure that I will finish both of the Michelle Paver books as they are on the short end of things. Made good progress with F&B, I need to stop being tired in order to read the physical books.
