Picked these up for #CampLitsy because the wait for them on Libby was 24 weeks!! 😳

I don‘t like the trend of sprayed edges unless it has a design on it. The colour they chose for Death of the Author is… ummm… not to my taste. But whatever, here‘s hoping the content is better than the edges! Or at least that it sparks a good discussion!

Can‘t wait for camp to start! I‘m packing my tent and sleeping bag already. 🏕️

BarbaraBB Oooh that looks o attractive! I‘ll be reading Author soon too. 1d

What a strange little book. Satisfies a need to read about living through a natural disaster, love something set in Oregon as well!

"I will write after work and on the weekends. That‘s what I tell myself. And, sure, I set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. once or twice. But who has any good ideas at 5:00 a.m.? It‘s like life is this powerful river, of doing laundry and buying groceries and driving to work and scrolling on my phone, and the weekends are so short."

Woah, buddy! This one was INTENSE and I loved it! Set in the aftermath of a huge earthquake, this is not for the faint of heart, but dang what a story?! My blood pressure was probably at a steady high while reading this book, but this writing is incredible. And to be a debut? Wowza. Top 10 books of the year, for sure! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved this book. Annie is in an IKEA when an earthquake in the Pacific Northwest strikes. She‘s 37 weeks pregnant, miserably pregnant, and we follow her on her journey to find a loved one and home. This is broken up by chapters depicting her life leading up to this day. The whole time, she‘s talking to Bean, her unborn baby. This book was a rollercoaster of emotion for me. I was horrified, I laughed, cause Annie is funny, and I cried. Pick!👇🏼

Reggie Anybody still in the mood for a pregnant protagonist against the backdrop of disaster, in this case a pandemic, I would suggest this book. It‘s also great. 1mo
BarbaraBB I can‘t wait to read this one! Great review 1mo

Suet624 Can‘t wait to read this!! 1mo
Reggie @BarbaraBB @CarolynM @Cathythoughts @Suet624 @Rissreadswithcats Annie‘s husband is an aspiring actor and her flashbacks with him can be sooo funny and infuriating. There‘s a certain scene where he monologues at a parenting class. Pure gold. lol hope ya‘ll like it. 1mo
CarolynM I‘ve just voted for it for #CampLitsy2025 😊 Fingers crossed. 1mo
Megabooks I looked, and I had stacked Sealed from your review! I loved Tilt, too. The tension was just so fantastic. 4w
Megabooks I‘m still thinking of the mom crawling into that school. God. That scene really got to me. 4w
Reggie @Megabooks omg yes. I liked that even though the mom was rude to Annie at the IKEA, despite all that, they looked out for each other at the end of their worlds. It almost made me cry. 3w

This book was intense. A 37-week pregnant woman is shopping in IKEA when a devastating earthquake hits, causing widespread choas and destruction.
The book is about her journey home on foot. I'm not a crier, but one chapter actually had me tears.
Expertly weaved in, is the story of her life up to that point. The ending could have been better, but overall this was really well written.

JenniferEgnor NPR‘s book of the day podcast spoke with the author about this book the other day…I‘m looking forward to reading it. 1mo

Another month, another full @AardvarkBookClub box! Their picks were so much better than BOTM (which I skipped) this month. So excited for all of these. I love that #aardvark doesn‘t shy away from darker books!

BarbaraBB I purchased Tilt too. Cindy said I‘d love it so I couldn‘t resist! 2mo
