Read both of them!!! Also read Tara French “The Hunter” and just finished AJ Finn, “End of Story.”Recently finished The Ski Trip by Sarah Clarke and before that None of This is True by Lisa Jewell.
Both were fun reads.

Nope Did I send you the Joan Didion? Can't remember.
Haha I had the same exact reaction to a few things like that! To be honest, I feel like that has happened in the last several books I've read with a ski setting. The stories themselves are fun and interesting, but there are some details that make me wish a more experienced skier had written them or edited them to get the little things right too.Thanx , @MissySki , for mentioning "The Ski Trip." I listened to the Audible version over the weekend while gardening, etc. What a twist!! I had a few quibbles here and there, i.e., (NOT a spoiler) an experienced skier traveling to a resort without packing sensible hiking/snow boots. I know its trivial, but it bothered me.
Totally agree..... I still like reading them. Did you read Ruth Ware's One by One?there are some details that make me wish a more experienced skier had written them or edited them to get the little things right too.
Yes, I really liked that one too!Totally agree..... I still like reading them. Did you read Ruth Ware's One by One?
I just finished reading "The Wide Wide Sea" by Hampton Sides. It's non-fiction. I'm a sucker for nautical adventures ("Kingdom of the Ice," "The Wager," "Labyrinth of Ice," "Sea of Glory," to name a few), and this one doesn't disappoint. It's an account of Captain Cook's third and final voyage to the Pacific, where he was ultimately killed by the natives on Hawai'i. Really good.
I must look that one up. A doco screened here earlier this year or late last year which investigated all the similarities amongst the Pacifica people, it was fascinating.Have you read Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia? I really enjoyed it, especially the recounting of the way that European explorers (like Cook) traveled around the 10 million square miles of Polynesia, found everyone speaking a similar language, and thought, what the what.
