Of the ones I’m willing to post about, probably not going to Nepal with lnhammer and our sometime roommate. We cancelled the trip after the political situation turned too unstable for a casual trekking trip to really seem wise; I wish we’d planned the trip sooner so we could have made it. Though really, I regret remarkably little in my life, and am grateful for this. I can also think of at least two missed opportunities I’m grateful for.
Elegant, gracefully written books that fall into the gaps between middle grade and adult fiction. (This is different from books that fall between young adult and adult fiction.)
