@keys_on_fire Exhibit A.

Maybe not the same guy, but close!

(Looks like I might but hopping aboard the #paperbackcrush train soon. I have a soft spot for these books, even if they are dreck 😆)

keys_on_fire Maybe!! I‘m sure they reused models A LOT! 😂 3d

keys_on_fire Have you read PaperBack Crush? I‘ve read through so many that were mentioned but still have quite a few to go!

Sace @keys_on_fire I have! It was a while ago though and lately I‘ve been considering going back and rereading it. These books are comfort reads for me. (edited) 3d

Sace @keys_on_fire and if you haven‘t read it yet I recommend

Dreams can come true

Sace @keys_on_fire oh and

I'm Christy

keys_on_fire I created a shelf on Goodreads for all the books (plus a few from series that I liked that I wanted to read all). If you ever want to try to read as many as possible like I am, I‘d be happy to become friends there too…assuming you use it as well. 3d

keys_on_fire Maybe someday I‘ll get ambitious and creat a storygraph challenge! 3d

Sace @keys_on_fire I‘m only on The StoryGraph and here but my summer vacation is starting soon and I‘d gladly join you in reading and sharing! 3d

Sing about Us | Winifred Madison

Another #paperbackcrush book and my #bookspin for April. I did not like this one. It was cringy all the way through. I remember being at odds with friends over boys, but this guy was a jerk! The only reason I finished it was because it was so short.

@TheAromaofBooks

Sace That dude looks like the guy on the cover of Superflirt too! 3d

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 3d

Fire in Paradise: An American Tragedy | Alastair Gee, Dani Anguiano

so-so

I had to bail about 35% in. It was just too stressful it‘s like reading a documentary about a recent catastrophic fire in an area not too far from my home. It‘s well-written and interesting, just too overwhelming for me to keep going.

Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World | John Vaillant

Excellent, page turning description of the development, physics, chemistry, weather, evacuation and defending the city from the Canadian fire in 2016. The explanation of how hot the fire was, how it moved, and the citizens‘ reactions was so good. For me, the last 1/4 of the book lost a little momentum, but that could be because the first 3/4 was so good.

This is an excellent audiobook! The author uses the catastrophic, unprecedented Canadian fire that hit Fort McMurray to frame the narrative. This illustrates how and why fires are burning out of control in our current climate. Asides on the weather, the climate crisis, scientists studying this, firefighters, insurance companies, and policy makers—both historical and current all feature for an educational yet entertaining read. Scary stuff!

Hooked_on_books Yes! Loved this one! 4mo

An absorbing history of oil, fire, Fort McMurray, climate science, and the corporate and political backlash to the science, as well as an intense retelling of the experiences of Fort McMurrayites in the fire of 2016, this is an in-depth and engaging, vitally important book. It is also terrifying (I think I would have been okay without ever knowing about FIRE TORNADOES), sad, stark, and honest. Cont'd in comments...

TheKidUpstairs It was interesting (and cautiously, maybe a little bit hopeful?) to read about the recent backlashes to the fossil fuel industry, coming from banks, insurance companies, and pensions beginning to divest from the industry. But is it too little too late? Drastic change is needed. 5mo

Hooked_on_books I thought this book was phenomenal. I‘m so glad to see it on end of the year best books lists. 5mo

Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World | John Vaillant

For the nonfiction NBA list, the upper 5 are their shortlist and the circled are mine. This was the hardest one for me to whittle down, as I want to put the King bio in the top 5 but can‘t make it fit. I‘d love to see Fire Weather win this one. Overall, this is a really solid list.
