From the getgo you are hurled into this frenzied sea with a shipwrecked woman tangled in kelp. A family of four finds her and cares for her. They are caretakers of an island meant to have a doomsday seed vault. But due to rising sea levels they are just waiting for a ship to come get them and the seeds. The family and the woman all have secrets. I thought this was good. McConaghy can write the hell out of nature but sometimes it was a bit 👇🏼

Reggie much for me. I wanted to say, I get it Charlotte, I‘m freezing, the wind is whipping my face, I can hear the chirps of the birds, the barks of the sea lions, I‘m smelling the salt on the air from those waves constantly crashing against the eroding beach, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE CHARLOTTE!!! and to be honest that was her strength as much as I gripe cause it makes me want to know more and care more about the disappearing nature around us. Pick. 6h
Bklover 😊😂😊 I seem to remember nodding off in the middle of Migrations. 6h
Ruthiella I thought the writing was great, evocative…but I hated everything else. 😂 No one‘s behavior made sense to me. 4h

I‘m not at the shore, but am starting this on a wild windy thunderstormy day; it‘s dark now, and the power across the street has been out since early morning. Ours came on around noon. Be safe out there. ⛈️ ☔️ 💨 🌱⚡️

Ruthiella You stay safe! ❤️ That is very appropriate weather for the book! 1d

Started the next #camplitsy book out on the porch tonight. So far it‘s perfect for a long hot night outside.

Given the stellar reviews and that Mom @Doll8455 wants to read it, too, I bought a copy and it arrived this weekend. So I‘m set for the second half of June for #camplitsy

@BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain

squirrelbrain Hooray - I hope you both love it! 3d
Megabooks Great! It‘s a fantastic book! 3d

Before dinner swim and finishing the first half so I‘m ready for next Saturday #camplitsy my brain is SWIRLING with questions about this book. I‘m getting all kinds of crazy vibes from books I‘ve read before. I love how I can see this place in my minds eye

AmyG Right? I, too, can see and feel how desolate, yet beautiful, it must be. 3d
kspenmoll I have not started this yet; intrigued now! 3d
ImperfectCJ I'm so behind! I've barely made a dent in Audition! But that should improve in the next few days as my travel companions are itching for reading time, too. 3d

mcctrish @ImperfectCJ my husband got the Father‘s Day he deserves - me reading and not bugging him 🤣🤣🤣 3d
mcctrish @AmyG one minute I‘m thinking I want to go so badly and see this amazing place ( or someplace like it) and then I read about the wind and I‘m like maybe not 🤣🤣🤣 3d
AmyG I googled where the seed bank is…beautiful but very desolate. And apparently cold. 3d

Thank you all for some wonderful discussions about Audition over the past 2 weeks! I think we managed to wrestle a tough little book into submission between us! 🤣

Next Saturday we‘ll discuss the first half of WDS. It‘s much more difficult to identify chapters as most of them have 1 of the same 5 names! Anyhow, Orly has some short snippets about plants and we‘ll read to the end of the one about mangrove seeds, page 146 in my copy.
