so-soI hate when they say a book is like another like this one that was compared to Where the Crawdads Sing. Just because a book has some aspect of a swamp in it does not make it like Crawdads. This story was just kind of boring, choppy in places, and I had to skim many portions as it just dragged. On the plus side the writing was good, I just wish the story had been more captivating.
The more I read the Cerulean Chronicles, the more I adore Lucy!

pick12-year-old Travis leaves his home to spend the summer with his paternal grandparents and 16-year-old aunt, Delia in Florida. This might have been a sweet coming of age story, but it is most definitely not. Instead, it is a story about obsession that is almost impossible to put down.
This is the first Carl Hiaasen book I‘ve ever read. I‘ve heard he was funny — something I was in the mood for — so I thought I‘d check him out. Indoor #audiowalk because it was 90° outside at 8:00pm.
pickAudiobook pick: This is my second book from this author and I'm officially a fan. He is just really funny. The good thing about being late to the party in an author's popularity, is he has a lot of books out there. His books seem like they would translate well to movies and they are full of action and snarky/absurd humor.

so-soThis was an adequate collection of photos comparing what Key West looked like in the past to modern times. This is the fourth book I‘ve read in the Images of America series and the reality has typically failed to live up to my excitement going into the book.

Seems an appropriate book for where I‘m sitting. The minuses of over-developed tourism. Loved reading Hiaasen on my trip to Florida last year! So funny although some of his writing hasn‘t aged well. But happy to have escaped the cold weather to Mexico! Also, any good recommendations for Mexican history books?
