Books can take you away to incredible places.


I'm currently journeying across Wyoming on a old steam train with a young deputy Walt Longmire in The Western Star. I always enjoy Craig Johnson's mysteries and how he beautifully describes the western landscapes. This tale hurtles Walt into a head-on collision of past and present, placing him and everyone he cares about squarely on the tracks of runaway revenge. Good story.

Same for Anne Hillerman, whose Rock with Wings I am listening to on OverDrive. The title refers to an iconic rock formation in the New Mexico desert and her descriptions really take me back there. I can almost smell the pinyon. "Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage."

What literary lands are you visiting this week?

Sorry I didn't get around to answering all your replies last week. I did read them but my time got eaten up by making this poster and then planning and joining the local Women's March which was a terrific and empowering experience.
