Books  |  Articles  |  Terri's picks

Note from Terri: My name is Terri and I am a book junkie! When I’m not actually moving on a climbing or racing adventure I seek out quiet spots to devour a few good books. I prefer a real live book over anything digital and gravitate predominantly toward non-fiction. With a spare moment back home you’ll find me at my local book shop in the travel or biography sections though I have been known to shop prolifically online. Book stores make me happy! I dream of having my own library where I can sit among great thoughts and just…ingest more thoughts. In the meantime I’ll continue to work on expanding my own publications while I offer you a selection of my favorite reads.

A few of the below were read recently while some quite a while back. They are in no particular order. Stay tuned as I add reviews of each.
