30.) Over The Mountain---By: Ben Towell---A co-worker goes out with him and it was a story of him being a thru hiker on the AT Trail. He is on the trail out in CA now. Started in March and hopes to be done in September.
Have read about 20 issues of the Block magazine. Missouri Star Quilt publishes them. Got them for $1.50 each. Has patterns in them and also some interesting stories. A lady was the first person to quilt in space and then designed a fabric line from the pictures she took of earth. In browns, blues and greens and looks like soil, branching waterways and snowy mountains.
I have read 3 others but I think I will list them when I do the August Rudy Day post

27. For the Wolf by Hannah Whiten - a romantasy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Since this concludes very nicely I doubt that I will read v. 2
28 Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory - story of Jaquetta, mother of Elizabeth Woodville who became Queen of England under Edward
