Welcome to Litsy!

This has been a wonderful, very poetic book. It describes the life of two kids born in and off the desert one hundered years apart. Both face struggles and end up back where they belong - in the desert. This book is a beautiful allegory of the desert, I haven‘t been something that aesthetic in a long time.

I found the way this all worked out a bit... obvious? Predictable? But it was satisfying to get there, and I do enjoy Lee Knox Ostertag's art.

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading. This was the April book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘m 3 months behind on the buddy read because I haven‘t read the May, June, July books but I‘ve now read the April book. This book was short which is great for me. I don‘t think I‘ll get around to reading the August book because it‘s taking me a long time to read these books for the buddy read.

I‘ve read the first 3 books on the list but now, I‘m 4 months behind on the #naturalitsy buddy read. I haven‘t had time to read the Apr, May,June,July books. The Land Of Little Rain wouldn‘t take me that long to read. The audiobook for that book is only 3 hours. Will I catch up? I hope so.

Here‘s how I‘m doing on the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘ve read the January, February and March books. Now to catch up, I‘ll have to read the April, May, June books and maybe the July book if I have time. I don‘t know how long it‘ll take me to read them because it takes me awhile to read nonfiction. I hope I can eventually catch up with everyone else who is participating. I‘d like to be able to participate in the discussions.

I‘m behind on reviews & discussion but I finished this for April‘s #Naturalitsy #BuddyRead I borrowed an ebook copy from the library & it‘s a quick & interesting book of essays about the Owens Valley & Mohave Desert in California. Written in 1903, it‘s wonderful nature writing & while my version may have suffered for lack of photos, the writing was descriptive enough to make me see it in my mind. While reading ⬇️
