Walking more

Table of Contents

I’ve been trying to walk more. Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, I’ve gotten even more used to just sitting ‘at home’ in front of a couple of computers for all waking hours.

Fortunately, the neighborhood I’m in has some really good walking areas. There is a great little park nearby, and the wonderful Ortega River Bridge is just down the road. According to my measurements, from my boat to the other side of the Ortega River Bridge and back is just over two miles.

Runkeeper, an app I really like despite the fact that I don’t run, has fun challenges occasionally. And I’m a junky for gamification. If an app is going to reward me with virtual feels, I’ll do the challenge. For Pride Month, they are having a 51st anniversary of the first Pride event challenge. That’s enough for me to get involved.

Hope to see you there!

Reviewer: Sally

Angela Hunt is in the top five of my favorite authors list. Her stories are exciting from page 1 to the end. I know when I start one; it is likely to be a very late night. They are hard to put down. “The Novelist” is a little different than the majority of Angela Hunt’s books…excellent…but different. That is not surprising, given the storyline of the book.

Add one part Kolchak: The Nightstalker, a touch of Columbo, and heavy helping of wizards, elves, dragons, and all sorts of fantasy creatures. Blend quickly while tongue is planted firmly in cheek. There you have the entire Garrett P.I. series from fantasy writer Glen Cook. Petty Pewter Gods is the 8th book in the series. While it definitely helps to have read the first seven before jumping into this simultaneously zany and action filled installment, Cook does a great job providing just enough back-story to explain the sometimes (O.K. quite often) strained relationships between our hero and his so-called allies.

A myth combined with fantasy. That’s a very short description of what this book is.

The story and plot is important, but the writing and the journey is more important than finding out what happens. And that’s a really good thing, since I picked this book up not realizing that it was the third in a trilogy. I was a good 40 pages into the book before I entered it on this site and discovered it was the final book of a trilogy. It obviously stands on its own. Some of the characters of the first two books are in this book and I’m sure they would be more interesting if I had read the first two books.
