Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver & Liberation Run

[honor_reid]

I have been busily reading these last couple of weeks but haven't had a lot of time on online so I hope all of you are doing reasonably well considering everything.  I have missed posting book recs so I thought I would rec a couple of books I have really enjoyed over the last month.

Into the planet sounds really cool!

Her life as a cave explorer was so interesting to read about I was kind of sad when the book ended.

I need to see if my library has it.

Both of those sound really good! Even though caves kinda terrify me a bit, lol.

[honor_reid]

They kind of terrify me as well (lol) but I am still super fascinated by them.

Those sound good. To be honest cave diving and climbing mountains are not things i've ever wanted to try but reading about it is interesting.

I don't know what it is about caves that fascinates me especially considering I am slightly claustrophobic, but they always have and an time I can go see a new one I do. I don't think I could even begin to attempt to do what Ms. Heinerth does though.

They fascinate me but I too am claustrophobic. I remember visiting some cave in Spain as a child with my mum, aunt and uncle and cousins and I sobbed the entire time we were down there. And the adults laughed. I remember being fairly young and the only words I had to express how I felt was "I don't like it!" Things like phobias were not in my experience, but I think that's where it started. I can handle it better now. We visited Clearwell Caves with my kids and I was able to rationalise that it was safe and I was ok. But it's not my favourite place to be.

Oh no I feel so bad for little you! I am glad you are now able to get through it better.
