We follow a very pregnant woman during a single day as she tries to survive in Portland, Ore. after a massive earthquake hits. She crib shopping in IKEA when it hits and spends the rest of the book trying to find her husband and get home. The chapters in the present work better than the flashbacks explaining their tepid relationship, but it kept me interested through out. I felt like I was with her, aching feet, unquenchable thirst, & desperation.

mcctrish It was crazy awesome how intense this writing was and I totally agree that I too felt like I was in that character 3w

SamAnne Oof. And I know where they IKEA is. Probably nowhere close to her house! 3w

AvidReader25 @mcctrish It was so intense! 2w

AvidReader25 @SamAnne I can‘t even imagine! 2w

I missed reading for #CampLitsy this summer as I moved. But this got such a wave of Picks that I put the audio on hold and finally got to listen. And wow, it was really good!

I thought the format of present and flashbacks worked really well, and it was easy to slide into the main character‘s shoes (Birkenstocks!) as she tried to cross Portland on foot after an earthquake rocked the city. Oh yeah, while late term pregnant!

Bookwormjillk So stressful 3w

Soubhiville @Bookwormjillk it was! But so good too. 3w

squirrelbrain I feel like it may have been even more stressful on audio! 😬 3w

AmyG I enjoyed this, too. Definitely stressful. 3w

Yenya1954 Very emotional journey 👶 3w

Birthday Blues | Anne Cassidy

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is a bit late because I was trying to think of something peppier but honestly this birthday is bumming me out. I truly appreciate all of the well-wishes of friends & family & I know I am lucky & blessed to be here, but I‘m just not excited about adding another year to my age & this year in particular. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Birthday rolls around
Counting years with heavy sighs
Blues beneath the cake

CBee @DebinHawaii I understand this quite well 😢 I do hope things slow down for you soon, and that at some point you‘ll feel in the mood for celebrating 💚 But if you don‘t, I get that too 🫂 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Totally understandable, hope you feel better and enjoy your day ❤️‍🩹🫂 2mo

TheBookHippie I get it. Sending you love & light! I am so glad you‘re here!! 2mo

AmyG Happy Birthday, Deb. Some birthdays hit harder than others. May next year be that much more special. 2mo

Bookzombie Happy Birthday! Sometimes I have a hard time with birthdays. I hope your year gets better. 💐 2mo

Ddzmini Happy birthday hoping you have a beautiful day 🎉🎁🎂🎊🎈 🥳📚 2mo

lil1inblue I feel you on this one! Birthdays have become much more bittersweet. But I hope you're able to have a happy birthday regardless, even if it's just a low-key day. 💓 2mo

dabbe I don't know if this birthday ending in a “0“ or a “5“, but those are usually big ones, aren't they? I hit the big 60 this year, and I'm still trying to come to terms with that. You've also had a tremendously busy work year. Give yourself lots of grace and feel what you need to feel. Glad you're here for another spin around the sun on this rocky planet. 💛💜🧡 2mo

Bookperson96 I feel you. Compared to you I might be young but I have had a similar feeling for quite a while. But since 29 is the new 16 I feel a little bit at ease… Hope your day was pleasant nonetheless. 🙂 2mo

Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.

If it‘s bad news, I don‘t want to know. I want to pause here, in this moment, the moment before I know.

People will tell you that everything is clear in hindsight, but really it‘s just rewritten.
