The Hound and I are living our best Sunday evening life, sprawling on the sofa, snoozing and generally being lazy.
Loving the glorious pedestrianism of my days at the moment.

#20: Maurice and Maralyn, Sophie Elmhirst. Had to get this wild story of survival after hearing about this couple on a podcast. What an absolute adventure of a life to have lived. The story is worth it, if you’re into survival against the odds.

#19: Kill them with Kindness, Will Carver. From my dystopian book club. I read it to completion, but probably only as it was an easy read. Had it required more effort the juice would not have been worth the squeeze.
I hate to leave a bad review, but just not for me.

#18: All the White Spaces, Ally Wilkes.
A glorious mix of the Antarctic and Horror. Thoroughly enjoyed. Could picture the eeriness of it all exactly. 10/10

#15: The Family Experiment, John Marrs. This was dystopia without the beauty of The Horses. Entertainment, but didn’t feel as deep. Or maybe I just need a break from the bleak future novels.

#14: The Tomorrow Project, H Crithlow. Another parallel universe that felt all too close.

#13: The Horses, Janina Matthewson. I really enjoyed this Scottish island lost in a possible near future. Made me long for remote island life again, despite the dystopian theme.

#11: The Mars House, Natasha Pulley. Thoroughly entertaining dystopian sci fi read. Enjoyed the interweaving of language, meaning, and multilingualism.
Would recommend.

#10: Owls of the Eastern Ice, Jonathan C Slaght. Absolute delight reading this wild account of the monitoring of this unique species. Filled with mad characters and bonkers events whilst striving to understand this elusive bird in the cold harsh north. Feels like it should be fiction- loved it!

#9: Cold Earth, Sarah Moss.
A scientific team forgotten in the cold as Covid takes over the world.
“Plague has swallowed you all up in the night and we are the last people on earth”.
…lots of familiar feelings in this one, given my location 2019-21 maybe a little too close to home.
*shiver*

#8: God is an Octopus, Ben Goldsmith.
We only have one world and we love and we experience loss.
Some nice rewilding.
Enough grief reading for a while though.

A ghost story read before steeping out on a long walk in a polar night.
Conclusion: we are all animals.

#5: Dead Man Running, Kevin Webber. In preparation for an upcoming trip 🧊. Reminded me how great the running community is. I miss knowing everyone at a start line, being supported & giving support in return.
Read on the plane back from a sad final goodbye to my greatest running friend. 🩵

#4 Shackleton’s boat journey, told by Worsley.
A tale of survival that leaves you in awe, I could read this story written by a thousand different people.
Great love letter to The Boss too.
Part of the wonderful Polar Book Club, thanks @sarahbpolar.bsky.social for getting us all going with this

Women 🩵. Gorgeous and complex. I would have hated it if it were a man’s voice.
Read on a recommendation, in the bath.
