I'm trying to be strict and only read books I have at home, so I can donate them and not have to pack them when I move (next year?) but this looks like i need a good geology read! Any good geology fiction out there? I know whatshisname - Michener? uses a lot of geology in his books but they are too long for me right now and I don't have any. Suggestions? or is everyone closing ranks? thats ok too
I have some romance books set in Alaska, I think I'm going to read one on those... could get me some of those words!
or, totally sneaky, something set in New Zealand itself. I have one unread New Zealand book from Tracey Alvarez on my TBR....

I have two New Zealand books lined up for September. One of them takes place in Rotorua so I'm hoping the geology words are there. 
Maybe you can find something that takes place in Yellowstone NP. That would work well too.

that looks good Jan good luckk!- thanks for the tip on Yellowstone
I've never read anything by C.J. Box but one of his series is in the Yellowstone region so I might try that. Maybe find a book set in New Zealand - still looking for a good literary fiction or mystery for this.
Hope you find something that helps Denise!
