Welcome to Litsy!

Between a so-so and a pick. It was very interesting in places but very long winded in others. I like the science parts best and was meh on the popular culture. It gave me a new respect for Disney and that was surprising.
3/5 read for a social, cultural, and scientific history of the Coyote in America. Expect more stories than science

I‘ve had some cool coyote experiences recently, prompting me to read this, and I‘m so glad I did! It looks at the natural history of coyotes then the US history of the wretched way they‘ve been treated here. Thankfully we‘re largely kinder to them now! This is an excellent read about a uniquely American critter.

I, too, lived in the woods and wondered about the coyotes. But it changed how I think about everything. A miracle lover from the sky wouldn't've understood. I expected some echo of what living in the woods does for, and to, oneself. Nah. Standard Harlequin romance script. The other threads weren't even interesting. The writing was OK. Some of the technical descriptions were lush and alive. Didn't have the psychological draw that Poisonwood did.

Who‘s read this? I‘m only 30 pages in but can‘t feel myself being into it. I‘ve read so many good reviews but I‘m not liking the writing so far. :/

Is it worth continuing?

This was a re-read for me, but it hit much differently in my 40‘s than it did in my 30‘s. I loved the three stories of women breaking the mold in Appalachia and how they came together at the end. I forgot how funny this book was too. Truly some laugh out loud moments.

Thanks for the motivation to re-read @AllDebooks

Trying to start Prodigal Summer as it is in my TBR for #litsolace #midsummersolace
🎉🎉🎉🎉Yay! Tomorrow I am out of school for the summer!!!!!!!

Yesterday‘s #LibraryBookHaul Picked up Nancy #8 for #NancyDrewBR & Doppelgänger which finally came in for May‘s #SheSaid I‘ve been trying to listen to the audiobook & think it will help to have both to finish since I got behind.

In the library bookstore I found a like-new copy of the tagged book for #Naturalitsy #MidsummerSolace #buddyread & a copy of 8 Bears for $2! (We read it for April‘s #LitSolace but I had to return it)
