Welcome to Litsy!

Those packages were waiting for me when I got home after 3 glorious weeks on Maui! 🌴🌺🌊😳 Every one 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 one book, each of which was graciously gifted to me by generous publishers & authors! So I have my summer reading assignments! In weeks to come, I'll show you all those beautiful books, including those featured in the 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒!

Hot take incoming... This book has absolutely no plot. It's just about a girl in a world that is ravished by hurricanes and natural disasters. I had absolutely no emotions what so ever. I had no real connection to the characters, so I never felt anything for them. It was just surviving, repetitively. This book was so boring. It took me forever to get through because it was soo boring. Just describing scenery over and over again the whole book. 2/5

Despite it‘s frightening and all too possible premise, this was a lovely book. It was an impulse airport buy, and it kept me riveted on the long flight. (The best thing about being held captive in a metal tube is not having one iota of guilt about reading for hours. 😁🤓📖.)

I really loved this one! Perfect for the summer! 🏝️ 🌞

4.5 ⭐ I just don't think anyone beats Erik Larson in nonfiction telling today. I always find his books fascinating and end up learning things I never did. Isaac's Storm is no different. It is about the deadliest hurricane to ever hit America. It happened 105 years before Katherine, in 1900 in Galveston, Texas. The hurricane killed thousands and demolished the city. Some say had it not been for the hurricane, Galveston may have been as ⬇️

What is magic but science not yet explained?

Coming of age, nature writing, and a look into what the future holds for our warming planet. A hurricane hits Florida and things are rapidly changing.

Happening over the course of Wanda‘s lifetime, I found the acceleration in climate disasters and collapse of society a bit of a stretch to happen so quickly, but believable otherwise!

A very informative book, about this very upsetting event in history,
I can't believe that next year it will be 20 years since it happened.
