climatechange

pick

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. 2w

Ruthiella I‘m often struck how your reading bounces between terrifying scenarios and horror and light romance! 😅 2w

merelybookish So much to love about this review! 2w

Suet624 Yowzer, I'm with you. I'd be out the door. And I agree with @Ruthiella. 1w

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. 1w

Reggie @merelybookish thanks! ❤️ 1w

Reggie @Lindy I hope you love it. 1w

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. 1w

Suet624 @Reggie just the way Trump and Elon would prefer it to be. 1w

The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet | Jeff Goodell

pick

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.

Deluge | Stephen Markley

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 ♥️♥️ 2mo

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! 2mo

Megabooks Thanks @BarbaraBB !! So glad we can all enable each other! 🤣 I‘m interested to read what you think, Sue. 😁 2mo

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?

Suet624 @Lindy yes! Heard about Crosby‘s new one. Can‘t wait. 2mo

monalyisha I finally mailed your books! 🥳 2mo

Suet624 @monalyisha I just noticed how many posts of yours I have missed! 😭 thank you for thinking of me. 💕 (edited) 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

Nebklvr I keep seeing this book pop up everywhere. 3w

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) 3w

Leniverse I loved this one! I read it a couple of years ago and still think about it often. 2mo

keithmalek @Leniverse I would rate it somewhere between So-So and a Pick. Did it really need to be that long? 2mo

Leniverse Yeak, ok. That's fair. KSR could use a stricter editor 😂 2mo

I'm in for a very long day of family gatherings and remembrances of my aunt who just passed a few weeks ago, so I won't have any time alone this evening to read. I've decided to do a very early morning #jolabokaflodswap instead to start my day.

Thank you so much @merelybookish - you were so generous. I can't wait to curl up now and start reading the book (and short) you selected. I might save the chocolates for tomorrow - 5 am seems too early 🙃

CuriousG Oops, forgot to tag @MaleficentBookDragon in the original post. 2mo

CuriousG Note - gnome is the singing Christmas gnome that always sits on my coffee table; unrelated to #jolabokaflodswap . Don't worry @merelybookish , I didn't confuse Christmas presents. Lol 2mo

merelybookish My pleasure! Since you were open to a surprise, I took the chance to support a NB indie publisher. I hope you enjoy!! (Did they include a tote too? ) Merry Christmas! 2mo

merelybookish And your singing gnome is adorable! 😄 2mo

CuriousG @merelybookish yes, the tote was included, I just have it folded so you can't see all of it there. Thank you! 2mo

AnnCrystal 🎄🙏🎁💝. 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon So sorry for your loss. I hope you get a little calm time today. 2mo
