hubba hubba!

Warren Richey blurbed this book so of course I was interested in taking a look. Then I saw the cover.

Yowza!

I'd buy this for the cover alone, but if you really want to know what the book is about:


Fearless is the story of a remarkable individual who accepts no personal limits—including fear. Freya Hoffmeister, a forty-six-year-old former sky diver, gymnast, marksman, and Miss Germany contestant, left her twelve-year-old son behind to paddle alone and unsupported around Australia—a year-long adventure that virtually every expert guaranteed would get her killed. She planned not only to survive the 9,420-mile trip through huge, shark-infested seas, but to do it faster than the only other paddler
who did it.
