Shadow Country

As I was just telling @Birdsong28 , back when I had Audible I only bought suuuuuper long books to try to get my ðŸ’µ's worth...still haven't gotten to many of the longer ones, though! So daunting...

Cinfhen Ooooh, you bought #LoneDove perfect for the upcoming #buddyread ðŸ¤ 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen Yeah! I actually did listen to that one 2 years ago on a backpacking trip (so perfect) but I plan to do some reading along with y'all in a print version. But for anyone else doing the #lonedovereadalong I highly recommend the audiobook. 7y

Ms_T I bought 4 3 2 1 a while ago when it was an Audible daily deal but at 37 hours long it's too daunting right now ðŸ˜³ 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @Ms_T Wow, yeah, I didn't know it was so long! Looks like a good book though... 7y

So the next county over held there large spring book sale tonight. Yea, I went a little nuts. 300 people elbowing each other in a 4000 square foot building was not fun, but dang if I didn't clean up on books y'all. A little heavy on poetry and garden books, but the two Richard Matthiessen books called out to me. Really liked his novel, In Paradise, and thought I would catch up on his older work. Been wanting to read A Sand County Almanac for ages!

ReadingEnvy Ooh I've been thinking about trying Shadow Country again because I'm going to Orlando soon. 7y

ReadingEnvy Also my local friends of the library is having their big sale this weekend! 7y

Jason_Roland @ReadingEnvy Orlando is fun, and not because of Disneyland! Attack that sale this weekend. Sharpen your elbows and work your way through them like I did last night. 7y

And another trilogy #publishedinthe1990s that I really need to get to. It is historical fiction set in the Florida everglades and based on the story of a real-life criminal. Has anyone read it? #PhotoADayNov16

RanaElizabeth I have read this and while it's long as heck, it's also amazing. Very, very deep look at one family and Florida history. 7y

LeahBergen @RanaElizabeth Thank you! *moves it up the TBR pile* 7y

Dogearedcopy I worked on the audiobook edition (narrated by Anthony Heald); and though he did a great job of reading it, it's really a book that needs to be read in print. There's a complex relationship structure that doesn't lend itself well to audio. As a book in and of itself, I thought it was sometimes challenging; but ultimately amazing in his character depictions, atmosphere building, plot management, and descriptive settings ðŸ™‚ 7y

ReadingEnvy I started this once and decided I wanted to wait to read it until I was IN Florida. But then I brought VanderMeer's Area X books with me instead, whoops. Next time. 7y

LeahBergen @Dogearedcopy Thank you! It seems like it will be a totally immersive type of read and now you've made me even more motivated to start it. ðŸ˜€ 7y

LeahBergen @ReadingEnvy Ha! I do that sort of thing all the time! 7y

Much caffeine will be needed for this read.
