Welcome to Litsy!

Not really sure how much snoozier this can get so I‘m out.

(2025) In a future climate apocalypse, Minor lives with her family and friends in a flooded Manhattan, on the roof of the Museum of Natural History. But when a superstorm forces them inland, they have to face the usual dangers of traveling a postapocalyptic dystopia. It's fine: the writing is lovely but the territory is familiar and the resolution is implausibly optimistic.

This was very interesting. It goes through 500 years of history and points out things and ways we messed up the environment. It's very broad but he does a good job.

Usually like these survival in the future books but this one seemed simple to me and too quick in the saving or the loss of people. Nonie and her family with others are living on the roof of the NYC museum bc the water is rising. A mega storm comes and they have to finally move North. I honestly finished it but probably shouldn‘t have…the ending just kinda ended! 😏 More science and maybe some more good dialogue could have saved this?

This book was fascinating. The author thoroughly explained the history of climate science and what goes into the campaigns to discredit it. Everyone should read this

This cover of this book got my attention. In this future, most of the land on Earth is now entirely under water, because all the glaciers have melted. The oceans are warm enough that there is no longer a ‘hurricane season‘…there are constant superstorms called hypercanes. A family loses nearly everything they‘ve learned to survive in and with, when one of these storms comes their way, and a new journey of learning and survival begins. ⬇️

I figured it was a good time to share the new article from The Guardian, and that it was appropriate for the book…. ❄️💦🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
