I think this is my first real climate change fiction and it's blown me away to be honest. This book felt so real that every blow of the wind, every beat of the sun, has confused me. My reality has mixed with this reading experience and now I'm so element aware I'm on the verge on turning into a prepper.

This version of end of the world as we know it is so female and I love it. I watched this from the pages, this is so adaptable for screen.

This massive book, a chronicle of the climate crisis as it plays out over the course of several years, was brilliant, terrifying & at times overwhelming. A terrorist, an activist, a data analyst, an advertising executive, a scientist, their lovers, friends & family, all play their parts as the future inexorably arrives, day after day. This was a masterpiece, & all the more horrifying because, after the election, it feels if anything too optimistic

This was the most horrific book I‘ve read in a while. The first 100 pages just details this super hurricane that obliterates this family living in a podunk town in Florida. A woman gives birth during that hurricane and names the baby after the hurricane, Wanda. My stomach was in my throat those 100 pages. We follow Wanda as she grows up and learns to survive a Florida who has run out of time due to climate change. This book was full of love 👇🏼

Reggie and loss. A climate change horror pick! Also, Litsy, if I was in my 3rd trimester of being pregnant and I wanted to evacuate because there is a hurricane on the way, but my man said-Nah, we‘ll be fine- that is not the man for me. 1mo
Ruthiella I‘m often struck how your reading bounces between terrifying scenarios and horror and light romance! 😅 1mo
merelybookish So much to love about this review! 1mo

Suet624 Yowzer, I'm with you. I'd be out the door. And I agree with @Ruthiella. 1mo
Reggie @Ruthiella I think u do the same thing but just with different genres. 🖤 I‘m sure in one of your sci-fi books the world ends and the next day your rereading an Austen. 1mo
Reggie @merelybookish thanks! ❤️ 1mo
Reggie @Lindy I hope you love it. 1mo
Reggie @Suet624 there comes a point where the dad whose job it is to turn back in the electricity and after weeks and weeks of calling city hall to ask for more help he just decides to go visit and finds one person who said the municipality is no more because everyone has left. Wishes him luck because there is no more county. No more tax money. No more paychecks. 1mo
Suet624 @Reggie just the way Trump and Elon would prefer it to be. 1mo
Rissreadswithcats This sounds BRILLIANT! Stacked! 1mo

Next up. I don‘t normally read dystopian stories, but I do hear amazing things about Tim Winton‘s writing so we‘ll give it a go. (I also read/finished Mrs. Nash‘s Ashes for book club. 🙁 it wasn‘t what I was hoping it would be - a light read to calm my mind - it was light but it was filled with the toxic male behaviour and the women that scramble to love them and ruin their self-worth in the process.)

I am not a Tim Winton fan though I've read most of his books, hoping. I do love The Riders and I have kept a few editions . I loved this in parts for what Tim was saying . It frightened me . Moved me to action . But I can't say I enjoyed it. Way too long for me. A pick because it made me think and act.

LeeRHarry Another irl bookgroup read for me later in the year. Hoping for good discussion. 😊 2mo
Jeg @LeeRHarry I‘m sure you will get a great discussion. Looking forward to what you think. 2mo
CarolynM That‘s interesting you don‘t like Tim Winton. I thought all West Australians were obliged to 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, though, I‘m not particularly drawn to reading him, although I did very much like 2mo

Boswell provides a comprehensive analysis of the increasing global temperatures and the associated heat as the foremost threat to humanity. He highlights that, on an annual basis, heat-related fatalities surpass those caused by all other natural disasters combined. This work serves as an informative resource for the public, particularly aimed at individuals who may be skeptical about the realities of climate change.

My second day of book shopping was January 2nd & part of the Vermont Independent Bookstore Passport Tour. Went to Brattleboro, VT to a great bookstore, Everyone‘s Books. Based on @Lindy and @shawnmooney recs I grabbed the tagged book. Based on @BarbaraBB rec I picked up The Night Guest. I zoned in on the only Cosby book I haven‘t read and I‘ve been eager to read. And who doesn‘t want to be more spiritually intelligent! 😂

CBee I also got The Night Guest based on the review from @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️ 3mo
BarbaraBB @CBee @Suet624 I feel the pressure!! Luckily I have @Megabooks to share the blame with 😀 since I read the book based on her review! 3mo
Megabooks Thanks @BarbaraBB !! So glad we can all enable each other! 🤣 I‘m interested to read what you think, Sue. 😁 3mo

Lindy Deluge has stuck with me. I hope you love it! I liked Night Guest too: it‘s unsettling in the best possible way. And did you hear that SA Cosby has a new one coming out later this year? 3mo
Suet624 @Lindy yes! Heard about Crosby‘s new one. Can‘t wait. 3mo
monalyisha I finally mailed your books! 🥳 3mo
Suet624 @monalyisha I just noticed how many posts of yours I have missed! 😭 thank you for thinking of me. 💕 (edited) 3mo
Jeg To hear you mention Brattleboro took me straight back to my childhood in Keene NH. Often went on car trips there. I‘m not sure if this is a correct memory but I think there was an olden days type shop there. I remember the smells. 3mo
Suet624 @Jeg What a lovely memory! I was trying to remember if I had ever been to Brattleboro before. I was mostly there because it was on my way home and I needed a stamp for my passport. I was surprised by how old-timey it all felt. I didn't spend a lot of time in the town, even though the bookstore was smack in the middle of downtown, because there was a snowstorm approaching but I definitely want to go back. 3mo
Nebklvr I keep seeing this book pop up everywhere. 2mo
Suet624 @Nebklvr hahaha. I‘ve only heard of it mentioned by 2 people and was surprised not to hear other folks talk about it. How can you go wrong with “A singular achievement, The Deluge is a once-in-a-generation novel that meets the moment as few works of art ever have.” (edited) 2mo
