A couple new authors I read were "Take Your Breath Away" by Linwood Barclay. That was a really good book, read it in a couple of days. I also recently read through The Selection series of books by Kiera Cass. There are five books in the series. I read all five in three days. A good nonfiction book I read was "The Palace Papers" by Tina Brown. An excellent behind the scenes thing regarding the British Royal Family. I like just about anything by Patricial Cornwell, Clive (Dirk) Cussler, Michael Ledwidge, Vince Flynn, James Rollins, and Dean Koontz. 

I've also been reading many books about people either climbing Mount Everest or trekking to Everest Base Camp. Trekking to Everest Base Camp is something I have on my bucket list. I love reading about others climbing mountains, but I have no desire to climb any more mountains. I've only climbed one - Mount Fuji. That was enough for me. Some pending books I may be reading are "The Match" - Harlan Coben, "The Vanity Fair Diaries" - Tina Brown, "The Investigator" - John Sanford, and "Elsewhere" - Dean Koontz.

I only did it once, and found out in that one venture, it is not for me.

Going up was not bad. Coming back down took five times as long, and was scary as hell.

I had no business going up. I was alone in the climb. Had no, I mean zero, climbing experience, and no gear. I didn't even have a phone on me.

Don't say it. I said enough that it is etched in my brain.

"You idiot!"

But I was a fast learner. I learned to not do it again.

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not. 

Yet I still post.  tinyinlove
