Mountain

[close] Two princes, brothers, used to be the best of friends, thick as thieves. But now they are split apart. They are enemies and are at war with one another. The younger brother, the Prince of Darkness, wishes to claim the land of Utopia for himself. His elder brother, the Prince of Light, must fight to protect his home and his subjects. Who will rise victorious from the ashes and blood of battle? Who will fall?

[close] A location for books, films, and resources for individuals who seek the "cabin on top of a mountain" frame of mind. This group's moderator has been living that life since 1992, surrounded by books that help sustain a life steeped in nature. Not all of my recommendations are about solitude or nature per se, but all have added to my understanding of my own solitary existence in nature. Hopefully they will add to the life experience of other readers as well.

[close] Books that include both nature and romance for all different seasons. In these books, the author transports us to beautiful places (where we can almost experience cool breezes, a breathtaking view or chilling snow) and charms us with a tantalizing romantic story. Enjoy recommendations for books that take place in fall (autumn), winter, spring and summer settings and truly experience the joys of romance throughout the seasons.
