informative inspiring fast-paced

Nothing here I didn’t know, but I am a 28 year old woman lol.

I was pretty sheltered and naive as a kid, so this probably would have helped back then. I remember watching “Blue is the Warmest Color” since I was curious about w/w relationships, which this book pointed out, is not accurate lol.

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

Full disclosure, I didn’t know who this guy was until I read this book. Apparently he does a lot of books in the style. However, I did not like this book. I find it riddled with misogyny and judgment. Plus, the last half of the book was boring. The last 70% or so I felt like it was a slog to get through… And I was listening to the audiobook. I also did not like the book by Sheryl Strayed.

maybe hiking books just aren’t my thing? Regardless, I felt both of them to be self important and just overall ridiculous.
