bailedI found this at a library book sale at some point and it‘s made a few moves with me. Tried to start it today, but within a few pages I could tell it‘s not for me. Oh well, on to the next book.📚
pickAnother new to me author thanks to #authoramonth and one I will definitely read more from. I flew through this book. It was the perfect plane read for the journey home. I was fully transported away from my cramped seat to drought ridden Australia as I worried more about Aaron Falk than I did about the mystery he was roped into trying to solve.
I‘ve discovered the reason not to read two books by the same author at the same time. One is slow and drags, but still interesting. The other, however, is my pick when deciding which one to read. So it‘s hard to be motivated to read the other one. I won‘t tell which is which, but I‘d be interested to learn if anyone else has a favorite between these two.
bailedI bailed pretty quickly on this. Just couldn‘t get interested and then they killed the prairie dog (I love those little rodents) and while I tried to continue, I just couldn‘t
pickI will shamelessly admit this book landed on my TBR for the sole reason that Noah Galvin is one of the narrators. This actually ended up being a pick for me though. This story chronicles a water shortage called the Tap-Out in California and its impact— terrible consequences in some cases. For a book published in 2018 there were some eerie similarities to Covid hoarding. Fits #TBRTarot April prompt for a book with a one word title.
pickThis felt like a worst case scenario that may be in Southern Californias future. The Tap Out, when the Colorado river is damned by other states and they get no water at all. This feels surreal now with parallels to COVID, in how nena people became to each other. Water Zombies. Killing over water bottles. These kids have ptsd after what they fought to survive. The multiple perspectives, these kids and not, help bring in the devastating reality.
🥶 just thinking about this one makes me cold!! Loved it though! No Exit!
