so-soPoverty and classism suck.
Full marks to Mason for making an entire book that really never wanders far from those points.
There's a decent thread of: communities without arable land and infrastructure are hit hard when natural disasters occur, drought, flood, so might be a bit of cli fi?

Middle class smut from the sixties. I read them as a kid hiding them from my parents. I don‘t remember much only the feeling of being subversive!😂the Carpetbaggers 1961, tagged book , 1966. I probably would find culturally offensive things now , but look at those covers ! From the big book sale.
pickFinal #roll100 read for Feb and also scored a line in #bookspinbingo recovering from surgery and not being able to do anything has its advantages as gives me lots of reading time!
Really enjoyed this, loved the prose, and there were a couple of twists that I did not see coming. Really interesting subject too.
pickThis one seems to have a lot of mixed reviews, but I loved it. It somehow sucked me in completely, despite some of the maybe farfetched events.
pickNot my favorite Patchett. Interesting premise, great ending, but a lot of meandering in the middle. Became a slog. But the ending was a worthy payoff. Recommended if you love Patchett‘s writing style already.
Just started a reread of this when 3 books came off hold at the same time. 😐 #sigh
Image is a cut out for some kind of snowflake?! I forget. Colors match the book cover 🤣
