I’m pretty sure, even back in 2013, that Messner wasn’t the only person to have summited Everest without using supplemental oxygen or climbed all 14 of the eight thousanders. I believe that by the early 2000s Ed Vestiers, and a few others, had also achieved these feats.

Look who got an ARC yesterday!!

I’m enjoying this book but good lord the amount of typos is staggering. Sir, you clearly put a good amount of research into your book but way to ruin it by not bothering to run a basic grammar or spellcheck program. Also chill with the exclamation points. Thanks.

Did you know Queen Victoria started the trend of keeping backyard chickens? I didn’t but it’s pretty cool to think about. Also shout out to the I.Q Zoo! Wish I had gotten to go there but it closed before I moved here. Sounds fun!

I had no idea that Candy Corn started out as a Christmas candy.

How does everyone in this town not have diabetes? Good lord the amount of sugar these people ingest on the daily is appalling.

A baby. Great. Let’s treat the pregnant woman like she’s made of glass and the tiniest bump will hurt the embryo. 🙄

Chapter 21- another Arkansas mention - hot springs national park

Chapter 18 - Josie Bassett - Arkansas connection

Look who won an ARC!!!

Things were going so good until she spouts off that cats will eat the dead but dogs won’t. Lady this has been debunk for ages. Do better.

Not exactly sure how much I’ve read of this but it’s around 20% I think and I’m just not sure I’m liking it. I let it go back to the library early and unfinished since there were others waiting and am not sure I will check it out again. The comparison to Little Shop of Horrors is misleading. No comedy here.

Not loving this. It seems like it was written by someone who likes the Golden Girls and the 80s but doesn’t LOVE them and definitely didn’t live through them.

Didn’t expect the Garden State Tortoise mention but I’ll take it.
