Library Bliss

Stopped by our local public library to browse for some Montana-themed books for a bit of destination reading. Unfortunately, and perhaps logically, most of the books set in Montana are Westerns, not my favorite genre. So I skipped past those and figured that a visit to the Bozeman Public Library would fulfill my need to intersect place and literature.

The bliss part happened when I was steaming through the books on CD section and noticed "Barr" on a call number label. It was Nevada Barr's new book, Winter Study. Even better, Barbara Rosenblatt continues to narrate the books as the voice of park ranger Anna Pigeon. Barbara is the voice of Anna; when she narrates outside of this series, it's difficult and confusing to hear her voice as another character. I'm finishing up with Bill Bryson's trek through the Appalachian Trail in A Walk in the Woods, and eagerly anticipating Anna's new adventure.

(A huge thanks to SueP for introducing me to the writings of Nevada Barr.)
