I enjoyed this book about folks surviving, hiding, and subsisting in the San Luis valley. Lots of interesting, sometimes tragic, sometimes awful, and sometimes funny stories.

Next up for reading. It's over 900 pages, so it will likely take a while.

Tamra It‘s amazing to read such astute observations of America from an outsider perspective. 3d

Looking for audiobook recommendations! We are driving from Grand Teton to Glacier National Park this summer.

My husband isn‘t a big reader, so looking for recommendations that a non reader would like!

Genres would probably be mystery or fantasy (like LOTR but not boring) ☺️

TIA!

Librarybelle I‘d try this one, and the other two in the series. I loved the audio, and it‘s quite entertaining, so I think it would hold a nonreader‘s interest: 1w
TieDyeDude Sci-fi, but I enjoyed the audio of the sprawling story of (edited) 1w
BarbaraJean Not fantasy, but sci-fi: the Murderbot Diaries series! Most are novellas, a couple are full length novels, and there are I think 7 in the series so far. The audiobooks are great, and the MC is engaging and snarky. So much fun. 1w

5feet.of.fury There‘s a full cast version of the Hobbit that‘s good. Also comedy/memoir type books are how I got into audiobooks & if he doesn‘t usually listen to them that might be good so I‘m gonna go with 1w
Laughterhp @BarbaraJean Ooh! That‘s a good idea. Maybe I‘ll make his listen to murderbot and then watch the tv show with me! 1w
Laughterhp @5feet.of.fury Oh! Thanks! We just started watching Parks and Rec! This might be a good one to check out. 1w
Laughterhp @Librarybelle @TieDyeDude Thanks!! I‘ll check those out! 1w

Extended heavy rains in 1913 caused widespread, devastating flooding that impacted most of the eastern and central US, causing major damage and leading to flood mitigation efforts. Washed Away takes the reader through those days, focusing on Ohio and Indiana, the hardest hit, and telling the story through the experiences of individuals. A really compelling read! #ReadYourEbooks (May)

“Wounded” is a compelling read. It‘s a quick one too. There‘s a lot happening in 207 pages.
