pickThis book is unique because I didn't cry while reading it, but I started crying later when I was thinking about it. It's a beautifully done magical realism about hard choices made in circumstances you didn't ask for. You're forced to think about what matters and who your village is. I've also never read such a vivid post-apocalyptic world.
When I checked this book out, the librarian said, "Where did you find that? I can't believe we have a copy in!" Then she realized it was my hold I'd gotten from the holds shelf. ? Two chapters in and I can see why my library has over 20 copies in circulation with a 10+ week wait on holds. I'm immediately hooked!
pickThis book was fascinating. The author thoroughly explained the history of climate science and what goes into the campaigns to discredit it. Everyone should read this
pickWow! This book was amazing! Had me 100% hooked. I love Tim Winton but I was reluctant to read this one because I thought it might be too depressing. I‘m sooo glad I did read it! Set in a futuristic Australia where climate change has wreaked havoc and humanity is adapting in order to survive. Gritty and frightening the main character tells his life story to a suspicious stranger in order to survive. Well worth reading.
pickThis is just such a haunting story of how the end of times could/will happen. It‘s beautiful and got so fraught at one point I couldn‘t read it before bed because my dreams were stressing me awake. A perfect book to read in April for Earth Day which we should honour on all of our days 🌎

pickThe tale of one woman‘s life starting from birth. Set in Florida where hurricanes have reclaimed so much, not just the land but the lives of loved ones. This is an incredible believable look at climate change.
I will anticipate more from this author as Good Morning, Midnight was also great.
