Welcome to Litsy!

This is a great road-trip audiobook! Silly enough to make you laugh and wild enough to keep your attention 😊

Okay, I have a question for my fellow literature lovers:

I am writing a poem but I had some trouble finding a title.
I came up with a title but there is already a book with the same title.
Do you think that is a problem or should I just use the title if I like it?

Let me know down below! ⬇️
Thanks!! ❤️

#audiobookwalk in the hot, hot sun because (unusually for me) I slept in this morning. Foolish, foolish me! The hot and humid was definitely appropriate for listening to this Hiaasen, read by James Van Der Beek, who does a great job with the narration.

This was super fun! I really wish I had read it earlier on in the school year because my Lit Lunch book club would have looooooved it! It‘s top of the list for next year.

My 11 yr old daughter picked this for us to listen to in the car from the Juvenile Fiction section on Libby, so I didn't know anything about what we were listening to. It's great! The story introduced a teen character with a physically abusive father which led to a conversation about abuse between my kids and I. Reading books with my kids has kickstarted numerous talks we never would have had!

I unabashedly LOVE Carl Hiaasen and I love that he does middle grade as well as his adult books. The feel is similar, we're still in the Everglades and nature is as big of a character as his people are! James Van Der Beek has such a great hold on Hiaasen's tone that I was smiling the whole time. A great intro to Hiaasen's work if you're leery but a great story about a wildlife show gone awry in the wild Everglades!

Excuse me? Carl Hiaasen read by James Van Der Beek??? SOLD!!! 😍😍😍😍

Highly entertaining 😊 Love how Hiaasen blends humor, animal rights, environmentalism, and reality tv in this caper. Wahoo, Tuna, and the gang deliver in this treat.

Second time listening to this. It'll be one of the four books for the Battle of the Books competition in my library region this summer! #loveyourlibrary

Ridiculous & entertaining

This is the sign next to my favorite parking space at #MyLocalLibrary. #riotgrams

I'm in central Texas so normally it is warm here. But this morning it is 25 degrees & the wind chill is 13. Florida sounds excellent right now. #dreamingofawarmerclimate

Here are my #orangecovers for #photoadaynov16 .

The adults are hilarious, the kids are hilarious. It's a great time for anybody who wants a good honest laugh.

Book was returned to the library like this. I guess someone got hungry... 😂😂😂🐊
