I love nonfiction to a detriment. Recently I read Robbie Parker’s book about losing his child at Sandy Hook and his lawsuit against Alex Jones. I then read Shari Franke’s book. This could not have been good for my mental health.
When I have read fiction I read a lot of horror. I just finished Grady Hendrix’s new book.
My comfort books that I reread often are the Twilight series and “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.” I also read every book that inspires a Studio Ghibli movie.
Anyway, I am looking for an audiobook to listen to while I am hiking. My self care is wandering the woods alone while listening to true crime podcasts. It’s my form of meditation. I prefer feminist authors. Nothing takes me out of a book more than when a man describes a woman.
Any suggestions? Clearly I am a woman of taste and sound judgement.

*A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail*, by Bill Bryson. Bryson writes about his attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail during the spring and summer of 1996. He mixes in broader discussions about the Trail’s history, its ecology and conservation status, and the people and societies that live near the Trail. He writes with a lot of humor throughout. It’s a perfect listen for hiking and for finding relief from depression.
