Today, my book was Number One in the Hot New Releases for Mountaineering books, worldwide. I checked out the other new books and there is a variety of books,  most of them are set in the Himalayas. Great reading of adventures here, for when we are stuck at home.

This list has everything, from adventure stories, survival, injuries, nutrition, faith and love. Hmm, there are bits of all those in my book as well.

The top book in this list today is pretty exciting too! Go read it and let me know!
