Bad Monkey | Carl Hiaasen

This is the first Carl Hiaasen book I‘ve ever read. I‘ve heard he was funny — something I was in the mood for — so I thought I‘d check him out. Indoor #audiowalk because it was 90° outside at 8:00pm.

lynneamch Good ideas! Both the book and the walk. Haven't been able to make myself get out in the heat. Thx for inspiration. 3mo

KathyWheeler @lynneamch it‘s definitely been too hot to walk outside! I‘m grateful for the rec center. I prefer to walk outside, but when it‘s so hot, I‘m glad to have this option. (edited) 3mo

Reggie I can‘t remember which ones I‘ve read because it‘s been over a decade but I will always remember laughing out loud with his books. 3mo

KathyWheeler @Reggie I‘d heard that his books are hilarious and that‘s what I was looking for. 3mo

The Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs duo is a favorite. Always twists and turns. Always something from left field. Doesn‘t feel gimmicky though.

Lincoln Rhyme is always a treat. Perfect for night shift.

“He said that's when everything looks the most beautiful, just before the sun sets. This luminous air turning everything to gold. He said it made him want to paint the whole world. And then it's gone, just like that.”

The Golden Hour: A Novel | Beatriz Williams

This picture didn‘t go as planned lol 😂 so maybe I took the easy way out but I chose Glass Ocean which is Beatriz William‘s 10th book published and The Golden Hour which was her 12th 🤷🏻‍♀️💛 Her book covers are my favorite ❤️

India Hicks: Island Style | India Hicks

so-so

I was initially enjoying this design book that reads like an extended version of Coastal Living magazine. But eventually the gratuitous wealth just got gross. I guess that‘s the risk when the author is related to the British royal family. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I did, however, like the variety it lends to my reading challenge.

Librarybelle Good variety, indeed! 1y

TrishB That gratuitous wealth grates everyday believe me! 1y

Hooked_on_books @TrishB I do believe it! I was particularly turned off when she mentioned she accidentally ordered 2 couches and one cover instead of 2 covers and one couch but didn‘t realize until they arrived. How much money do you have to have to just not pay attention to what had to be a huge total when you check out online?!? Wow. And she just laughs it off. So gross. 1y

TrishB Exactly 😞 people sleeping on the streets and people not being able to feed themselves and their children and we have people parading about in golden coaches. There‘s something wrong somewhere. And can you imagine what one of those couches cost in the first place. 1y

Soubhiville I love that Bindi‘s foot is peeking over the top of the book 😁🐾 1y

Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville Isn‘t that funny? I noticed it when editing the pic down to 1:1 and made sure to keep it in because it made me laugh. I love a paw! 1y

Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down | Colin Woodard

pick

I believe this author had as his mission to write the best researched, most thorough account of the Republic of Pirates, founded by pirate Benjamin Hornigold, in the Caribbean. The escapades of many a pirate (so many I forget who‘s who), and every ship won or lost, are detailed in this book. Which, unfortunately, makes for a boring pirate book. This book is a well-written assembly of facts and for that reason it‘s a pick for me. It‘d be an ⬇️

Texreader excellent textbook—original sources are cited. Where facts are unknown, he informs us. And I learned an enormous amount of history of the Caribbean and proved how little did I know how the early American east coast was so ravaged by pirates. Just beware, it‘s a long slog. #readingtheAmericas2023 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB 1y
