Welcome to Litsy!

Got this one last book signed by Michael Farris Smith. Now all of his books are owned by me and are signed. One of my favorite authors. Seriously, if you have not read anything by this author, you need to. I would start with Desperation Road. #MSBookFestival #LiteraryLaunchParty

If you are looking for a book that is both intense and haunting, look no further.

Rivers is set in a terribly storm battered version of the Gulf Coast. The United States has abandoned part of the land so battered by storms, it is nearly unlivable.

Between the incredibly compelling plot and the amazingly vivid characters, this book left me emotionally drained and shaken, and yet I loved every moment.

Five stars; highly recommend!

I've barely been able to squeeze in any reading time lately. A few minutes before I fall asleep at night isn't cutting it right now!

Mail call! Had to order this one recently. One of my favorite professors from college, who has remained a friend, recommended it, and after reading the description, I just had to get my hands on it. Definitely up next on my #TBR

Set along the gulf coast after a series of hurricanes have left the southern states devastated and mostly deserted. The government has drawn a line and abandoned that part of the country. One man is trapped by grief and unwilling to part with his last connection to the life he had before until a violent incident with others also fighting for survival spurs him into action. Atmospheric and absorbing. Recommend reading during thunderstorms ⛈

Dog sitting this cutie and his Darth Vader toy he never lets go of. I'm trying to finish this book tonight but he wants to play and I can't resist those eyes 👀

Pouring down rain, blowing wind and thunder and lightening create the perfect atmosphere while reading this book ⛈🌬⚡️

Taking frequent breaks from work to go back to this world....😉

Just started Rivers by Michael Farris Smith. First chance all day that I have had time to read-had our first crawfish boil for the year so had to socialize most of the day. Gonna read now until I can't keep my eyes open 😴#Litsypartyofone

My #uniquefact : I'm a certified whitewater rafting guide! A skill that might come in handy in the dystopian world described in this book (which I haven't read yet). @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

A group of people attempt to leave the lawless, hurricane ravaged Southern United States, heading towards what they hope is safety. I liked it. It was a quick, easy read. It was an interesting story with a couple of good plot twists.

This has been on my tbr for too long, I'm glad that I've finally gotten to it. I love dystopian fiction and this is off to a really strong start.

A southern dystopian novel about a continuous string of hurricanes that pound the Gulf Coast. The story follows a man named Cohen and his struggle to cope in the waterlogged land. You'll look at heavy downpours a little differently after this one.
