binging

Some folks binge watch whole seasons of television shows on Netflix.

I am binge reading all of the books of Nevada Barr, starting at the beginning, about Anna Pigeon - National Park Ranger. Over the years I have read a few of her books here and there, not in any order, but reading them in order one after the other adds a lot to the story, it is easier to remember the back stories and people she meets along the way and how they all intertwine throughout her series.

These books combine my love of the national parks and mystery and reading. Of course my favorite part is the very detailed descriptions of the parks themselves, it is like you are there with her. 

We recently saw Ms. Barr, former park ranger, interviewed on the PBS special, The National Parks: America's Best Idea.
