Book excerpt: God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a gruelling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath—The Appalachian Trail. The 2,000-plus-mile trail winds through 14 states, stretching along the east coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine. It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in North America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas. With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humour, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey. An instant classic, riotously funny, A Walk in the Woods will add a whole new audience to the legions of Bill Bryson fans.

In this friendly and approachable field guide, writer and avid hiker Mark Mikolas shares a unique approach for year-round tree identification. His method, which centers on the northeastern United States where 20 species make up the majority of trees, will prepare readers to recognize trees at a glance, even in winter when leaves and flowers are not present. Mikolas’s secret is to focus on the key characteristics of each tree—black cherry bark looks like burnt potato chips; beech and oak trees keep their leaves in winter; spruce needles are pointed while balsam fir needles are soft and rounded at the ends. Some trees can even be identified by scent. Location maps for each of the 40 species covered and more than 400 photographs illustrating key characteristics make the trees easy to identify. Mikolas also explains how to differentiate between similar and commonly confused trees, such as red maple and sugar maple. A Beginner’s Guide to Recognizing Trees of the Northeast is a book to keep close at hand wherever trees grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girl in the Woods is Aspen Matis’s exhilarating true-life adventure of hiking from Mexico to Canada—a coming-of-age story, a survival story, and a triumphant story of overcoming emotional devastation. On her second night of college, Aspen was raped by a fellow student. Overprotected by her parents who discouraged her from speaking of the attack, Aspen was confused and ashamed. Dealing with a problem that has sadly become all too common on college campuses around the country, she stumbled through her first semester—a challenging time made even harder by the coldness of her college’s “conflict mediation” process. Her desperation growing, she made a bold decision: She would seek healing in the freedom of the wild, on the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail leading from Mexico to Canada. In this inspiring memoir, Aspen chronicles her journey, a five-month trek that was ambitious, dangerous, and transformative. A nineteen-year-old girl alone and lost, she conquered desolate mountain passes and met rattlesnakes, bears, and fellow desert pilgrims. Exhausted after each thirty-mile day, at times on the verge of starvation, Aspen was forced to confront her numbness, coming to terms with the sexual assault and her parents’ disappointing reaction. On the trail she found her strength, and after a thousand miles of solitude, she found a man who helped her learn to love and trust again—and heal.

You think being a prepper with the logo—Prepped & Prepared—she would have been wise enough to wear boots for a walk in the woods. That’s what she gets for being curious and thinking she would take a quick peek at her new neighbor who bought the sixty-acre Willow Lake Lodge property that just happens to surround her three acres. It’s only natural she wants to know who moved in next door. Where does her nosiness get her? Smack dab next to a dead guy whose throat has been cut. And what else does she see when she lands—boots. They’re attached to none other than G.I. Joe himself all decked out in camouflage and a knife gripped in his hand. Is he the killer or has the lodge been sold to a paramilitary training group as rumored? Her father, the sheriff of Willow Lake, orders her to stay away from the place and particularly the new owner, Ian Macgregor. Josh, youngest of her three brothers and a police officer on the Willow Lake force, warns her as well to avoid the… hot hunk. Growing up with three older brothers wasn’t exactly conducive with getting boyfriends, but at twenty-eight those days are gone—at least she intends to make sure they are. And as far as the hot hunk? He’s too handsome and handsome equals trouble. Curiosity has Pepper, once again, sneaking around the lodge with her best friend since grade school, Amy. She takes another fall, but this time Pepper lands at the feet of a Highlander. Amy, a lover of romance novels, is gushing like a fool, repeating the name Ian Macgregor over and over again. It takes a few moments for Pepper to realize what her friend is trying to tell her. Her new neighbor is none other than Ian Macgregor, the gorgeous and immensely popular cover model. Oh, and possibly a murderer as well. With Pepper’s propensity to solve mysteries, her father warns her to mind her business when it comes to the murder and once again warns her away from the suspect, Ian Macgregor. But how can she keep away when clues begin to surface that point to Ian being involved? Not to mention that sparks are flying between them. Welcome to Willow Lake, PA.
