Welcome to Litsy!

Moody sock and a broody read. Very good, suspenseful, characters you want to root for.

Wild Dark Shore is likely to provoke some climate anxiety in sensitive souls. Even if the climate anxiety doesn‘t get you, the traumas the characters are reckoning with will. This book has A+ nature writing, and a fascinating premise, but it‘s a huge bummer, overall. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/wild-dark-shore-charlotte-mcconaghy/

This is such an amazing book! I've recommended it so many times at my library, and everyone has enjoyed it.

It's dark, it's emotional, it's mysterious, and it's a novel that only Charlotte McConaghy could write.

I have loved all her other books, and this one did not disappoint.

I finished 3 great books this week but the tagged gets all the stars. I usually am hopeful that the summer #CampLitsy books are new to me but I think I‘d love this one to win a slot so I can reread it and discuss.

This book is amazing, truly! A family lives alone on a remote island off the coast of Antarctica, protecting a seed bank until the next supply ship arrives. When a woman washes ashore, all their lives are changed forever. It‘s a story of hope, of secrets, of lies and of course of love. Narrated one chapter at a time by each character, we slowly learn their stories. My favorite book of this year so far. Highly recommend!

Still thinking about this one a week later.

Loved every little thing about this book. The setting, characters, atmosphere, plot, all the things. 5 🌟

“There is incredible love in every word, as there must‘ve been in every movement of her hands, every nail she hammered. I am taken from this bleak and stormy Island to live for an afternoon among her snow gums, I imagine myself waking to the morning fog and the sun rising over the hills, the glorious view from her bedroom, and before I know it, I am in her bed, and then, accidentally, she is in this bed beside me.”

Slow build, big ending! Some mixed feelings about it but it did pack a punch. Listen to the audio if you like Australian accents 😂 #BOTM
