Oof, this book was short but relentless in its depiction of one brutal day. The MC is 9 months pregnant and in IKEA for a crib when her town experiences a massive earthquake. She spends the rest of the day trying to survive the destruction and find her husband. While battling extreme conditions she reflects on her relationship/pregnancy. The clipped writing added to the stressful atmosphere. I‘m glad I read it but it wasn‘t *enjoyable* to read.

Suet624 I read this a while back and I still think of some of the events in this book 13h

If anyone is in PDX area this Wednesday Emma Pattee will be talking about her very local book!

I am not sure if I can make it (work is busy) but if you went what questions would you ask her?!?

willaful I amazed she can leave the house. 😂 7d

Ruthiella @willaful 😂😂😂 7d

ChaoticMissAdventures @willaful mostly we worry about not crossing bridges (you would be amazing how many people here will not go to an event if it is "across the bridge" I think it is being told over and over you will be stuck on which ever side you are on when "The Big One" hits ? 7d

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures I was “over the hill“ when the Big One hit for us, and didn't get home for 7 hours. And It might have been weeks if I hadn't gotten home that night! So I would probably avoid the bridges too. 😂 7d

ChaoticMissAdventures @willaful oh my goodness, sorry that happened to you! You need to write a book and get paid for the experience! 7d

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures I made it home and didn't lose anyone, I got off pretty easy. 6d

#12BooksOf2025

August was another month full of great books: The Weeding People, King of Ashes, A Witch‘s Guide to Magical InnKeeping, The Compound… The one I still think about is Tilt, read for #CampLitsy Having grown up in Southwest Portland, the setting made it even more compelling.

I don‘t think you can be an Oregonian and not be aware that the “big one” is coming. This is an excellent debut. Knowing the locations enhanced this read for me.

@TheEllieMo

TheEllieMo I like the sound of this one 2w

CBee I found Beautyland on KU and very much want to read Deep Cuts! 2w

Amiable Have you ever read this one? I think about it every time we visit my in-laws in Seattle!

Full-Rip 9.0: The Next Big Earthquake in the Pacific Northwest

Some thoughts:

Honourable mention to #camplitsy Tilt for best bookclub read.

Beyond the Wall has a really eclectic queer kinda punk biker gang crew I‘d love to spend time with 😂 Read for #lgbtqia2025

Can‘t wait for the next #Murderbot.

Loved the SA Crosby and excited to read more. Ditto for TJ Klune which was a #QueerBC pick (I think).

Heartstopper is so different to my usual reads but it‘s sooo good. Highly recommended.

CSeydel These are great! 😍 4w

Suet624 Love this. 4w

PuddleJumper Those Beyond the Wall has just moved up my TBR list. Amazing description 4w

Kitta @PuddleJumper I thought it was even better than

The Space Between Worlds: A Novel

Kitta @PuddleJumper have you read The Space? Beyond the Wall is definitely a sequel and relies on information in the first one. The Space was good but the second was great. At least for me. 😆 I can imagine some people wouldn‘t enjoy it. 4w

PuddleJumper @Kitta I've got the series on my list. I couldn't remember which one was first 😅 4w

I forgot to actually post a review in my haste to reach out to @Reggie because I was busting to talk about it with someone! This book touched me in so many ways. I loved the way Annie and an IKEA worker were there for each other navigating the catastrophe even though they had clashed at the beginning. The school scene was devastating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
