Yes, it‘s true that you can‘t solve the climate crisis alone, but it‘s even more true that we can‘t solve it without you. It‘s a team sport.

From “Here‘s Where You Come In” by Mary Annaïse Heglar

Next up - I‘m hoping for a little boost of positivity from this little nonfiction anthology.

The narrative structure detracted from the information presented. The story line jumped from place to place and to varying groups of people in a very helter skelter way. The actual information about the volcanic eruption was magnificent.

My library hold for this came in too late for the #CampLitsy25 discussion, but not so late that I couldn‘t have posted a review long before now! 🤦🏻‍♀️

The short chapters and multiple perspectives kept me reading, wanting to find out what everyone was hiding, and then—how it would play out when they discovered each others‘ secrets. I felt for each one of the characters, falling in love with them even in the contradictions and complexities of ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …their mysteries, secrets, and withholding. All of this against the backdrop of a looming storm that mirrors the building relational suspense. I loved this, but ultimately it fell a little short for me in the way it treats its female characters. Even so, its characters LIVE on the page. Orly, Fen, Raf, Dominic, and Rowan—and the island and the weather, themselves characters in the tale—will stay with me for a long time. (edited) 3w

I liked that this book looked at climate change from more of a non-western point of view that I usually see. I also appreciated the comparison between Pope Francis‘ Laudato si‘ and the Paris Climate Accord. #Naturalitsy @AllDebooks #NonfictionNovember

AllDebooks It was good to see a different perspective. 1mo

This is a great book about the history of fire suppression, fire‘s impact on ecology, and life as a hotshot. Super informative! There were times that I wondered if Thomas was a hotshot to write a book, but Steinem was a Playboy Bunny to write an article. Great read, and glad to see the public is getting an education of how hard and under appreciated the job of a hotshot is.
