I feel like I am off to a slow start this year in terms of reaching my goal of reading 52 books this year. I am hoping that as the year progresses I can get back to spending more time reading and less time focused on the things that are currently taking up my time and energy.

I really enjoy reading about the family life in Middle Eastern society. Although this book is set primarily in the United States, I enjoyed reading about the author's visits to the Middle East and the culture there. I don't know that I would read this book again, but I am glad that I read it once. |

This is the second or third time I have read Wild. There is something about a woman going through a hardship and dealing with her sh%t in her own way that is appealing to me. To see the author struggle and triumph, to grow and learn about herself is a genre of books that I will never tire of reading again and again. |

I am in the beginning(ish) stages of a significant weight loss journey. When I reach my goal, Bobby has told me that he would take me on a trip of my choice. I decided that I would like to revisit the Grand Canyon, but this time I would like to journey to the bottom of it and explore its trails and wonders there. After reading this book I definitely want to still do this, but I don't think I want to venture onto Havasupai lands. I can handle remote nature, but this seems like this is too remote for me. We will look into other routes to get to the bottom of the CG. |

I have a huge interest in marathon runners, particularly ultra marathon runners. There is something wildly appealing to me about people who have the mental ability to overcome all of the anguish and pain that comes with being an elite runner. I admire people who can do this. This was a good book. It is one that I am glad I read and may even read it again just because I have not found a ton of books on marathon runners of this caliber. |

The Lakota Sioux Indians are my favorite Indigenous tribes to read about. This book was suggested by another author I was reading, and so I requested it from the library and read it. It took me a while to get through it because the content is so think with information and history. I most likely will read this book again as it was so informative and is about a topic that interests me greatly. |

Again, another book about running. I enjoyed this book and will look into reading Adharanand's other book(s). I enjoy his writing style and find him to be an easy, light-hearted read. |
