mcctrish And the pocket mention ✊🏻 last night at dinner ( I live with my husband and 2 sons) pockets came up and I said “ haven‘t you ever noticed when a woman is complimented on a dress “it has pockets!” Is seriously the best answer 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 4y

Deliverance | James Dickey

#SurvivalSituation is probably one of my least favorite tropes...it often stresses me out (which is probably an indication of how well the book is written) but I really was amazed by Deliverance. Dickey got the balance right for my sensitive readerly constitution. 😬

Klou Awesome!!! 4y
SamAnne I often take his poetry on river trips. He was an SOB in real life. 4y

Ruthiella @SamAnne I don‘t know anything about the author...but awful people can write beautiful things. 4y
SamAnne @Ruthiella so agree. Just listened to an interview with his son who recently passed and was a journalist. I‘m a big fan of his writing and his love of wild rivers. 4y
LeahBergen I thought this was such a good book. 👍🏻 4y
Ruthiella @LeahBergen Agreed! I was so hesitant to read it because I only knew the film‘s reputation. I was happily surprised! 4y

Kya‘s life is the epitome of survival- abandoned by her mother, then her siblings, finally her abusive dad and then shunned by the townspeople (all this before adolescence). She soldiers on and finds her calling...

Klou Great pick!! 4y
DAB Totally love this book. 4y
Eggs @Klou Thanks 🙏🏻 4y

Playing Dead: A Memoir of Terror and Survival | Monique Faison Ross, Gary Krebs

Day 10 - #SurvivalSituation #TropesInAugust
#PlayDead #MoniqueFaisonRoss

The book was a real page-turner as the ending of each chapter gave me a need to read on and find out what was going to happen. I found Monique to be a very strong person who just wanted to protect her children. I would highly recommend this to those who are in an abusive relationship or those who love survival stories.

Klou Good job!!! 4y
EadieB @Klou Thanks! 4y
