Litsy

pick

I missed reading for #CampLitsy this summer as I moved. But this got such a wave of Picks that I put the audio on hold and finally got to listen. And wow, it was really good!

I thought the format of present and flashbacks worked really well, and it was easy to slide into the main character‘s shoes (Birkenstocks!) as she tried to cross Portland on foot after an earthquake rocked the city. Oh yeah, while late term pregnant!

Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.

If it‘s bad news, I don‘t want to know. I want to pause here, in this moment, the moment before I know.

People will tell you that everything is clear in hindsight, but really it‘s just rewritten.

pick

Portland, Oregon is destroyed by a massive earthquake, catching Annie by surprise while obliviously shopping for a crib at Ikea. Everything comes crashing down and the heavily 9-months‘ pregnant Annie, escaping the rubble by the skin of her teeth, starts walking to her husband‘s work. She‘s accompanied, at time, by the Ikea worker who saved her life. This is the story of her walk through the destroyed city while talking to Bean, the baby she‘s ⬇️

Texreader carrying. Annie tells Bean about her love for her husband. We also learn about her dissatisfaction with herself and her original horrible attitude about being pregnant. This is the story of her changing relationship with her husband and Bean while she walks. From that point of view, it‘s an excellent story. However, if you‘re reading a story about a pregnant woman‘s attempt to find her husband during an apocalypse, it‘s woefully incomplete. ⬇️ (edited) 2mo

Texreader The reader gets to decide whether the author/main character achieved her objective. And truthfully I don‘t know which point of view matters the most to me. That leaves me somewhere between a good book and a so-so book. #CampLitsy 2mo

BarbaraBB It didn‘t match King of Ashes for you I think! 2mo

Texreader @BarbaraBB You are correct! 😉 2mo

Bette It‘s been a while, but I remember that after having taken her journey being unsatisfied with the end. 2mo

Left of Forever: A second-chance romance with yearning, angst and a road trip to HEA | Tarah DeWitt

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can see why there are glowing reviews of this second-chance romance, but overall I felt pretty neutral. It all seemed a bit too easy for me to feel too emotionally invested. The audiobook narration is really good! 🎧
