An absolutely gripping, page-turner of a story. It was let down a bit by the convoluted ending and rose-tinted epilogue. But still, overall, a decent read.

And the dog lives.

Dear #bookstodon-friends, I've been thinking about doing some sharepic-style mini-reviews of books (mostly #horror/ #suspense/ #litfic) that I've been reading - I tried by best with the tools available on my phone and this is the result. Pretty enough? Sufficient info? Anything else I should/could add? #frauenlesen #iamreading @bookstodon

A picture of the book "Thin Air" by Michelle Paver. The info next to it reads: 1935. A group of British mountaineers wants to be the first to reach the summit of the deadly Kangchenjunga. But ahead lies more than ice and avalanches - a dark secret waits to be uncovered. It may become their undoing.
3 and a half stars.
Keywords: gripping, suspenseful, mysterious

A book cover has the title Desert Gold by Kris Bock. The cover image is a nighttime Southwest scene with some kind of petroglyph in the foreground.
Text on a gray sand background says:
“Fast, fun, romance and adventure, What more can you ask for?”
