#JuneSpecials Day 6: #DDay is explored here with the seed bank vault and deciding which of the seeds will have to go - and which ones are needed should the apocalypse come and wipe out humanity. A beautiful beautiful book. Happy that it is part of #CampLitsy2025 - gearing up to be one of my faves.

#JuneSpecials Day 5: #WorldEnvironment is explored so sensitively in this novel about so much grief and loss. Made me cry when I finished reading it last night. #CampLitsy25 June titles now done. Started with our #EuropaCollective pick for June last night.

I read this for my RL book club and it was my BOTM for May. Overall I liked this. It was a mashup of family drama, mystery and a little bit dystopian. The children and their personalities were the best part. I didn‘t love the two adults and never quite felt chemistry between besides forced proximity. Beautiful writing though! 3.5⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don‘t want to say too much before #CampLitsy, but I really enjoyed this! It was suspenseful and surprising and dramatic but not overly so. This is probably more about me than about the books I‘ve been reading, but I actually had the thought that this was one of the least annoying fiction books I‘ve read recently! 😂

BarbaraBB Such a good book. Can‘t wait to discuss! 4d
sarahbarnes Can‘t wait to pick this up! 4d

I loved this book! It's the most immersed I've been in a book in a while. Like all of McConaghy's books, the setting is a character in itself, and this setting is beautiful, wild, unpredictable, and dangerous. The family dynamics and the mystery of what has happened on the island kept me wanting more. This might be my favorite of hers so far. This was May's #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Lesliereadsalot Wasn‘t this book so great? Recommended to everyone I know! 7d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 7d

A woman washes ashore an island not far from Antarctica, and finds herself at odds with the mysterious family appointed as custodians to the island‘s seed bank.

Ghosts ✨ Claustrophobic ✨ Environmental

The last 50 pages almost made up for the dragging pace of the book‘s initial 2/3rds….almost.

I read a number of good books in May, several of which I haven‘t reviewed yet on Litsy. The one I‘m going to say was my favorite is a dark horse, coming in from out of nowhere. It‘s The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan. Sadly, I won‘t remember the name of it in a month or so. 😊

2. I‘m looking forward to reading the tagged book for #CampLitsy25

Thank you for the tag @kspenmoll !

1. Favorite book in May is a tie between Tom Lake (on audio with Meryl Streep narrating) and Audition - for very different reasons. I loved the melancholy sweetness of Tom Lake and the unsettled feeling I had when reading Audition.

2. Very excited to read the tagged book in June for Camp Litsy! 😀

Tagging @Suet624 and @Cathythoughts if you haven‘t played yet!

Cathythoughts Thankyou for the tag x 1w

Rowan washes ashore on a remote island, where Dominic and his three children live in an old lighthouse and maintain a priceless seed vault. Both Rowan and Dom are secretive and grief-stricken, but the comms are out and it will be weeks before a ship arrives, forcing them to work together. The deep appreciation of nature made this book worth it, but I found the portentous writing style and inexplicable failure to communicate grating after a while.
