Another 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟from Abby Geni. I just love her writing.
Day 24 - Wild
This was the first book that popped into my head when I saw wild. Both the name and the cover are fitting.

I was a big fan of Geni's other novel, The Lightkeepers, so I was excited to read this and pretty much went in blind. I'd say that's the way to go - boy, was it an unexpected journey! Such a unique premise filled with memorable characters, palpable tension, and thought-provoking insights on the complex relationship between humanity and nature. I'm sure it will stay with me for some time!
Almost halfway through. Loving it! The characters and setting are so vividly written.
I just couldn‘t get into this novel, despite having read half. I then skipped to the Epilogue. 😐 I‘m disappointed because I really liked Geni‘s previous two novels.
Any US Litten interested in having it? It‘s even a signed copy. First to request has dibs. 👍🏾
My independent bookstore finds during ladies night out. 😁 The Geni is signed and I didn‘t realize she is yet another MN author! She has become an auto buy for me - really liked her other two novels.
This book was a quick read and I felt it was entertaining. I wouldn't say this is one of the best I've read but the plot was a bit different than books I've read recently. A little predictable but it was a good reflection on family, loss, and values.
Stuck grading papers ... I'd rather be reading #TheWildlands.
Cora, youngest of 4, never knew her mother who died just giving birth to her. She was raised by her oldest sister who stepped into the place of their parents after a tornado rips through town, taking their father & leaving them orphans. Months later their brother Tucker runs away, leaving the girls to fend for themselves. The most tragic family in Mercy, OK gets hit by another horror on the 3rd anniversary of the tornado: 9yo Cora disappears. 👇🏻
I could not put this book down. I just loved it. It‘s a family saga that begins with a tragedy and just keeps on going in a way that makes you wonder how they do it. Somehow I missed Lightkeepers, but it‘s now on my TBR.
Oops...darn you Barnes and Noble for having member double discount days. #sorrynotsorry
A thrilling pageturner that explores the bonds between siblings, the forces that drive the most extreme actions, and the relationships between humans and animals. Like in her previous novel, The Lightkeepers, Geni is so adept at establishing vivid settings and ominous atmospheres.
From the award-winning author of The Lightkeepers comes a page-turning new novel that explores the bond between siblings and the animal instincts that threaten to destroy them...
Afternoon reading: I loved THE LIGHTKEEPERS, so I am excited to finally sink my claws into this! 📚❤️📚
#ALAac18 is just over a week away, but the goodies are already arriving in the mail #galleybrag
Pick! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unusual story: after a tornado devastates their family, 4 orphans live together in a trailer just trying to scrape by. The brother, Tucker, runs off, fueled by extreme animal activism. Things get worse when he kidnaps the youngest sister and goes on a muderous spree to save animals and avenge their mistreatment.
So happy to get a copy of this! Question for you knowledgeable Littens: I have several ARCs to read that won‘t be published until later in the year. Should I read and post reviews now, or wait until closer to the publication date? Some publishers have said to wait, but some offer no communication at all. What‘s the usual rule?
