Okay, I kinda fell off the world when I tried to switch (or not exactly) from Goodreads to StoryGraph last spring or whenever it was. I was successful at transferring all of my Goodreads stuff to StoryGraph. What I struggled with (and I knew I would) was keeping two book apps up to date. So I haven’t been updating what I’ve been reading in either app. My bad.

Also, I have been doing audio books since the beginning of the summer. I dunno why. I never glommed onto them before. They’re working for me now. I dunno if this situation is temporary or not.

The Glassmaker is one book that has left me with a book hangover. There is an interesting structure to this novel, which it set in Venice and begins in the 1400s and ends in the COVID era. That is all I will say.

Another that I read was Buckeye. It’s set in Ohio. A lot of the North Country Trail goes through Ohio, plus there is the Buckeye Trail, which often intersects and/or joins the North Country Trail and the GG has hiked a lot of it. I just finished this one this afternoon but I think I’m going to have a book hangover from this one too. A lot of people like to disparage Ohio. If you are snowbirding south to Crazy Old Florida on the I75 Snowbird Geezerway, it can be a drag but Ohio has a rich history and a varied terrain. And Lake Erie is its northern border. Buckeye was a good book although I was appalled at some of the choices the characters made along the way. No one hiked the North Country or Buckeye trails.

That’s the Lyme Lounge and Mooon Yooonit parked at the Tahquamenon Falls lower falls campround.
