Sunday Salon: False Spring

The crocuses have pushed up during a brief, false spring and may survive the next several days. Snow is expected Monday-Tuesday!

I have been reading more ebooks from the library and just finished Into Thin Air, an account of the tragic expeditions in a climb of Everest in the spring of 1996, a story which had me in tears in parts.
I also whizzed through Girl in Translation, finding ebooks faster to read.

  2. I have QUICKSAND and want to read it before long. INTO THIN AIR was a great favorite of mine. First read it several years ago and so fascinating and tragic.

  8. Oh how I loved the Kommandant's Girl, I read it a few years ago now but I still remember how much I enjoyed it. I raced out to purchase The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff when it released here last week. Enjoy the rest of your books and happy reading to you!
