Gone Hiking

-
The Ninja Librarian is out hiking and camping. I have prepared a few posts during this 2-week period, but won’t be around much as wi-fi is hard to come by.

Meanwhile, check out the IWSG Anthology blog for some nice resources for writers.

I'm making myself a little crazy trying to finish drafting  Painted Over , but finally made myself take time to put together a blog post for the weekend.  For those who want to read   about my 2-week  campervan tour of Iceland's Ring Road in September 2025  in order, here are the links to post #1     post #2     post #3     post #4     post # 5   post #6   and post #7 . Day 10 (Sept. 20): Skaftafell and other scenic highlights  I had the pleasure of waking up in possibly my most scenic campsite of the trip, and seeing that the weather was good. Breezy, yes, but sunny and clear. I was up at first light, and ready to roll by 7:45. Sunrise over the campervans. A couple of Icelandic sheep in the overgrown parts of the campground were up to watch me go. The trail climbed steadily, but at an easy grade, so that I was soon up above the glacial lagoon and getting impressive views. Skaftafellsjökull glacier...

Here are the links to post #1     post #2     post #3     post #4    and  post # 5  of the 2-week trip, for those who want to read it in order.   This was a 2-week campervan tour of Iceland's Ring Road, in September 2025. I was going to post this sooner, but if I had there wouldn't have been any weekend post this weekend. I have to get home from my Thanksgiving travels and get some more photos edited!     Day 7 (Sept. 17): Stuthlagil Gorge, Hegnifoss, and more I started my day with a drive that took me up and over a high point of some 1400' on the way back to the Ring Road (which I left some 2 days earlier to head into the far north). That was enough to bring some flakes of snow, instead of rain, on my windshield. I pulled over to photograph the snow, with only the faintest foreboding that this might be a sign of winter (but continued gratitude that the van had a good heater, both when in motion and when parked)....

#MMGM middle-grade review: Fires Burning Underground, by Nancy McCabe

Image
I am grateful to the author for my copy of this book, which I won in a giveaway.   Title: Fires Burning Underground Author: Nancy McCabe Publication Info: Regal House Publishing, 2025. 146 pages. Source: Won it in a giveaway Publisher's Blurb:  It's Anny's first day of middle school and, after years of being homeschooled, her first day of public school ever. In art, Larissa asks what kind of ESP is her telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, or telekinesis? Tracy asks how she gay, straight, bi, asexual, pan, trans, or confused? And thus kicks off a school year for Anny in which she' ll navigate a path between childhood and adolescence, imagination and identity. In a year of turmoil and transition, with a new awareness of loss after the death of a friend, Anny struggles to find meaning in tragedy, to come to terms with her questions about her sexuality, and to figure out how to negotiate her own ever-shifting new friendships. And when her oldest friend's lif...
