This book was gloomy, until it was just sad. 3.5⭐️

Reggie Awwwww, the end really threw me. Like why did ghost mom show up under the water? I thought she was gonna deliver the lady back to her family so she could care for them? I was all in until she showed up. 14h
Rissa1 @Reggie, Yes! 4h

Of the books chosen for #CampLitsy25, this was the one that most interested me, but summer reading time & library holds meant I just got to it. The setting & atmosphere were fantastic. I wished as the story progressed that the characters would have communicated more, but along with the ending, it seems more realistic to the story that they did not. I enjoyed the multi-voice perspective & how Rowan helped the family move forward. #audiobook

squirrelbrain Great review! ❤️ 3d
Lesliereadsalot My favorite book of the year so far! 3d
Prairiegirl_reading I‘m 70% done and I‘m not loving it. It‘s dark and I just feel bogged down by it. Should I keep going? I do want to finish because of camp but it‘s dreary! 2d

BarbaraBB I loved it so much. Like all her books. 2d
Daisey @squirrelbrain Thank you! Now I need to make time to read the discussion. 2d
Daisey @Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB It was so good, and I think it‘s one that will stay with me more and than others as well. 2d
Daisey @Prairiegirl_reading It‘s a tough question for me because I tend to be a completist and I liked this story, but if the dreariness is pulling you down, I can say that won‘t get better and it might be time to let it go. My heart just hurt at the end. 2d
Prairiegirl_reading I got to the part with the whales and I just couldn‘t go on! This is helpful. I‘m good with not finishing, your advice was helpful! Thanks! 2d

Best book I have read this year! 5 🌟
Charlotte McConaghy is an author who just works for me. This is fast-paced for a literary fiction novel. I love how she reveals more and more about her characters as the plot unfolds. This book made me ugly cry. Highly recommend!

BarbaraBB Amen 🙏 3d

Through beautiful, engaging prose and a unique and striking setting, McConaghy tells a story that's both bleak and hopeful. As with her other recent novels, she addresses the reality of climate change while offering a way to keep our hope and humanity in the face of a changing world. I enjoyed this one quite a lot.

kspenmoll Oh so love Acadia! We have visited often! Most recently the summer of 2023- we keep going back! 5d
ImperfectCJ @kspenmoll That photo is actually from summer 2023; maybe we were there at the same time! That trip we spent most of our time at the western side of the park, which was new territory for us and very interesting. 5d

Audiowalking with the tagged while my younger kid is at tuba lesson. In addition to tons of students and parents at the university for orientation (is it seriously that time already?), I met up with this male monarch enjoying a snack. My external environment was quite different than the one in my ears.

5 Stars • Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy is a tense, emotional novel set on a stormy, fictional Antarctic island. Dominic Salt and his three kids—Raff, Fen, and Orly—run a massive seed bank but are set to evacuate as climate change ravages their home. A mysterious woman, Rowan, washes ashore, shaking up their isolated world. ⬇️

suvata As secrets unravel and storms worsen, the family grapples with trust, grief, and tough choices about what to save. It‘s a mix of thriller, family drama, and eco-fiction with vivid vibes. Highly recommended!

Suet624 So glad we read this as part of #CampLitsy25 3w
suvata @Suet624 I guess I should follow #CampLitsy25 3w
Suet624 It always introduces me to interesting books. We‘re reading Death of the Author right now (found in both the literary fiction and the science fiction sections of the bookstore) and it‘s one I wouldn‘t have picked up but I‘m loving it. 3w

I really liked this story. There was enough mystery to keep me interested and it was a unique story. The author in her note said she wanted Shearwater to feel like it‘s own character and she definitely accomlpished that. I do feel like the ending didn‘t get the emotion out of me that it probably should have. Still it a really great book start to finish!

This was me reading by candlelight last night when a storm rolled through here and knocked the power out. Finally got power back about an hour ago!

AmyG Lots of storms yesterday. 3w
kspenmoll Great book to read in a storm- it was wild last night! 3w
bookish_wookish How did you hold up in the storm? @kspenmoll 3w
kspenmoll @bookish_wookish We only lost electricity a few short time. It was wild though- some small limbs fell but nothing bad.I was driving my husband to ER at the tail end of it & we saw a double rainbow! (edited) 3w
bookish_wookish Oh i bet the rainbow was amazing! Hope your husband is doing ok! @kspenmoll 3w
