pickBook 3 in this series, Petra looks for a man gone missing from a cohort of unlikeable Americans who have returned to #Greenland for mysterious reasons. Petra is put in peril this time and the shaman isn‘t here to help. Unfortunately, the “motives” are complex and convoluted. I got the general idea, but I couldn‘t connect the dots. It‘s still a pick, but lesser so than prior novellas. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65
pickShaman Tuukula and his little daughter Luui help Constable Petra look for a missing girl whose cleft palate helps her talk to ravens but makes her the subject of school bullies. The girl‘s father hates ravens and takes the blame for the girl going missing.

An excellent start to this series. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

Our earth has found a means to set up a base there to study and protect the kaiju. This is the story of some newbies on that Canadian base via #Greenland. The story is fun, often hilarious, and not without its bad guys who need putting in their place. Loved it! Perfect vacation read. #authoramonth #foodandlit
pickThis is an excellent YA sci-fi speculative fiction story. A family camps in #Greenland so the father can study climate change while the mother writes about mitochondrial DNA while son explores the land. But nothing is as it seems and it all unravels when the son discovers a colony of people living underground for generations, who will lose their home as the climate warms. Told from two perspectives of the above- and below-world, I enjoyed the ⬇️

pickIn 1910-12, the author Ejnar and a boat mechanic Iver sledge along the west coast of #Greenland looking for notes from previous Danes whose exploration ended in their 3 deaths. Ejnar and Iver brave the coast for well more than a year trying to get back to their ship. They are good partners for this task who have one spat in all this time, over an imaginary girl. It‘s a brutal survival story with an excellent epilogue about how the author ⬇️
If you‘re wondering what Greenlanders eat…. I think I may skip the food portion of this month…
