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. 🏕️
pickWhat a strange little book. Satisfies a need to read about living through a natural disaster, love something set in Oregon as well!
repost for @BarbaraBB:
I am adding the final two winners to the #CampLitsy25 reads. We‘ll be reading Tilt and King of Ashes in August. We are super excited about this mix of books and we hope you are too! I‘ll post an overview of all six books next so you know what books you might want to get a hold of!
Just a few weeks to get ready for 🏕️ !
pickBoth read for #AuthorAMonth. I‘ve already posted about The Rose Code.
The Phoenix Crown didn‘t pull me in right from the start but I‘m glad I gave it a chance. Set around the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it follows the story of four women. Last year I read another book about this event, Outrun the Moon by Stacy Lee (#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD), & loved it! I think once I stopped comparing this book to that one, it was more enjoyable.
Voted! The long list is full of fantastic sounding books, so many new to me titles. I can‘t wait to see what we will be reading. Don‘t forget to vote by May 9. Link is on @BarbaraBB #CampLitsy25 post.
"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."
pickWoah, 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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickI 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!👇🏼
