Grandma Gatewood's Walk by Ben Montgomery

[Diana S]

I finished one of our group reads The Wildwater Walking Club this weekend. I'm currently reading Blackberry Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke. I'm also re-reading Looking for Me by Beth Hoffman for Friday. I belong to a book club at a local library.

I just figured out how to mention a book with a link to it, so I'm redoing my post :) Let's hope it works!
Your Brain On Nature: The Science of Nature's Influence on Your Health, Happiness and Vitality
Grandma Gatewood's Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail

[Darrell]

I'm thoroughly enjoying The Old Ways: A Journey On Foot, where I learned the Spanish saying "Caminar es atesorar!," which means "To walk is to gather treasure!"

[Diana S]

Just finished reading Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths, How to Make an American Quilt and Beautiful Ruins.
I'm currently reading:
Breath, Eyes, Memory and Mudbound.

[Darrell]

Diane: I plan to read Beautiful Ruins next. How was it?

[Diana S]

I gave it 3.5 ★★★! I really liked it! I definitely plan on reading this one again. :D
I might even change my rating to 4 ★★★★. I loved the storyline and aaahhh...."Pasquale", What a great character!

I really don't like giving the plot away but may I suggest reading this book by a pool, or maybe by the beach with a very cool beverage or maybe a chilled glass of sangria. :)

I try to celebrate the books that I read and I thought the cover of the book was so lovely, very picturesque. So I plan on going to this family-owned Italian restaurant that I heard so much about with this wonderful atmosphere. I hope it reminds me of the book. :D

-OR- I could have a "Elizabeth Taylor" and "Richard Burton" Movie Marathon. ;D
I think it would make "Pasquale" very happy!

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , Carrot Cake Murder , and Speaking from Among the Bones

Diana: I finished Beautiful Ruins today. It brought back pleasant memories of my trip to Italy in 2003. Here is a link to photos from my trip that included locations mentioned in Beautiful Ruins: www.flickr.com/photos/dneily/sets/721... This book included hikes along the rugged cliffs of the Cinque Terre. See my photos of these trails. Only negative for me was the porno addict with my name ("Darrell").

[Diana S]

Darrell, Thanks so much for sharing your photos! :) They were beautiful! So close to the way I pictured the in my mind. I would love to walk those trails one day. I'm glad the book bought back such good memories. I feel the same way if that character had my name too. :(
