The Salt Path | Raynor Winn
post image

Interesting article in today's The Observer

https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/the-real-salt-path-how-the-couple-b...

I haven't read the book. I'm just here sharing the link.

Leniverse I almost want to un-know this information 🙈🙉 but at the same time it's so wild it becomes fascinating 11h
Tamra Yikes, that is terrible! I hope they are guilted & shamed into making it right. Then she can write another book to recoup the 💰and no doubt she would too. (edited) 11h
julesG @Leniverse I forwarded the link to another friend who's working at a bookshop. She's contemplating moving it to the Fiction section. 11h

kspenmoll Maybe I should throw this unread book in my #TBR in the trash. (edited) 10h
Bookwomble I haven't read the book (and won't), but thank you for linking to the article. The journalist has done a short YT report which includes footage of one of the victims of Winn's embezzlement taking about the impact of her crimes, which is very moving: https://youtu.be/UY2ivdm9obY?si=VVHeC3xG3-ialRWX 10h
squirrelbrain I saw this headline but haven‘t read the full article yet….very intriguing! 10h
Bookwormjillk This is wild. Surprised someone didn‘t do a background check before filming at least. 8h
rockpools I‘m with @Leniverse on this one. Can I not know, please? I really loved this book when I read it, so I‘m quite sad. I guess it opens the door for someone else to write the great South West Coast Path memoir…. 8h

1. After my adventure at Second Story Books last weekend, I went to my favorite winery where there was a Peruvian food truck. Inca Kola, chicken sandwich, and yuca fries. Plus they have finely started bottling Sauvignon Blanc.
2. New sun shirt from Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
3. The Nationals finally have a sponsor patch on their uniforms, and it‘s AARP 😂
4. Blue Diamond wasabi & soy sauce almonds are delicious. ⬇️

On a (short-ish) road trip & decided to stop at a brewery instead of just grabbing fast food. The puppy is pleased.

It‘s a shopping plaza, so of course the sunset is bonkers gorgeous: vivid pink & neon peach. Parking lot sunsets are the best and the worst of us.

…America is a parking lot sunset.

This is a travelogue with commentary about America in the 1960s and a poodle sidekick. I sensed the goal was to find something profound through the people met and adventures had on the way, but I think his search was unsuccessful. It was still an interesting trip with some glimpses of what he was looking for. And the dog doesn‘t die at the end so I‘m just thankful Steinbeck didn‘t wreck me with another one of his stories.

dabbe I have rarely roared with laughter reading a Steinbeck book (but, boy have I cried!), but the scene with Charley and the bears at Yellowstone is a masterpiece of humor. It could stand alone as its own read. 🖤🐾🖤 (edited) 5d

I really enjoy nonfiction when the author travels, meets new people, and learns about new cultures. MacQuarrie follows the Andes through Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina to research the Ice Maiden, Pablo Escobar, Hiram Bingham, and so much more. He uses today's issues, such as bringing back ancient weaving and interweaves it with the archeology of yesterday's events. The entire book kept me glued. #FoodandLit @texreader @Catsandbooks

Bookwormjillk Sounds like a good one! 7d
Texreader Loving all your reviews! 6d
Butterfinger @texreader I dropped my phone in the ocean while I was trying to take a picture of a horseshoe crab that washed up. It took me a week to replace it. I had to catch up on my reviews. Plus, since I didn't have a phone to distract me, I read for July. 6d

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by this breathtaking view on my flight from Boise to Portland. It‘s a view that gives me a feeling of home even after 24 years in Hawaii. Lucky to be spending the weekend at my sister‘s hanging out with family.

Mountain of legend
Snow-spotted peaks rise above
Lush verdant valleys

I accidentally used a Everand credit on this when I meant to grab Yukon Alone. After a half hour of confusion about the book being about King Salmon and not an adventure race I figured it out and found the book very interesting. King salmon run along the Yukon River but like many other species are suffering with climate change and overfishing. The author takes a canoe trip to talk to the people who live along the river and see the salmon.

Looking for audiobook recommendations! We are driving from Grand Teton to Glacier National Park this summer.

My husband isn‘t a big reader, so looking for recommendations that a non reader would like!

Genres would probably be mystery or fantasy (like LOTR but not boring) ☺️

TIA!

Librarybelle I‘d try this one, and the other two in the series. I loved the audio, and it‘s quite entertaining, so I think it would hold a nonreader‘s interest: 2w
TieDyeDude Sci-fi, but I enjoyed the audio of the sprawling story of (edited) 2w
BarbaraJean Not fantasy, but sci-fi: the Murderbot Diaries series! Most are novellas, a couple are full length novels, and there are I think 7 in the series so far. The audiobooks are great, and the MC is engaging and snarky. So much fun. 2w

5feet.of.fury There‘s a full cast version of the Hobbit that‘s good. Also comedy/memoir type books are how I got into audiobooks & if he doesn‘t usually listen to them that might be good so I‘m gonna go with 2w
Laughterhp @BarbaraJean Ooh! That‘s a good idea. Maybe I‘ll make his listen to murderbot and then watch the tv show with me! 2w
Laughterhp @5feet.of.fury Oh! Thanks! We just started watching Parks and Rec! This might be a good one to check out. 2w
Laughterhp @Librarybelle @TieDyeDude Thanks!! I‘ll check those out! 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures I also vote Murderbot! What about nonfiction? Something bite size like John Greens The Anthropocene Reviewed or I really love Patrick Radden Keefe any of his really like 2w
Aims42 This one has been recommended to me for a good audio book. I haven‘t listened but it has good reviews 😊 2w
5feet.of.fury @Laughterhp I looooove parts and rec! Retta & Amy Poehler‘s books were also good 😂 2w
