I think Ami interviewed this author and I have had this on my TBR for so long since! Ur review and pushed it up higher on that list. Great video!!

Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy it when you have a chance to read it. I’ll have to look for Ami’s interview. Thanks for that recommendation.
Cheers, Jack

This is incredible… I can’t wait to read this book. Great discussion as well… May I ask how you found out about this one specifically?

[@ramblingraconteur1616]

I saw it on a list somewhere shortly before it was published, so I made sure to put in a request at our library. Midway through, I reached out to a former colleague who has retired to recommend the book, and he was reading it too.
I hope you’re doing well! Any hikes planned for the winter?
Cheers, Jack
