Read this book. 🤍✨ her voice, her life, her story deserves to be heard, cherished, and remembered.
Beautiful poetry and story, woven and arranged and told in a way that will stick with me for a long time. An unfolding of a life. I loved the way the poems were artistically put onto the page too. So much I could say. But her words are what matters here. Read this book. 🤍✨ #poetry
so-soI had to bail about 35% in. It was just too stressful it‘s like reading a documentary about a recent catastrophic fire in an area not too far from my home. It‘s well-written and interesting, just too overwhelming for me to keep going.
pickWhat is magic but science not yet explained?
Coming of age, nature writing, and a look into what the future holds for our warming planet. A hurricane hits Florida and things are rapidly changing.
Happening over the course of Wanda‘s lifetime, I found the acceleration in climate disasters and collapse of society a bit of a stretch to happen so quickly, but believable otherwise!
pickI have to admit that I struggled through some parts of this book, but it‘s an important read. This is a painstaking explanation of the climate change crisis and real solutions on how we can begin to fix it. There are practical steps that need to be taken and radical ideas that might work if the whole world can work together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickWow, what a terrific but terrifying read. This are hot and only getting hotter. Yes the heat will kill humans but of course those on the fringes first. It‘s also going to ruin our systems, notably our food supply. The global south will suffer first, and of course sea waters are rising and wildfires are happening much more often. Can we change in time? Will we? I‘m sad, but this is a great book.
pickI‘m fairly certain that I probably wouldn‘t like/respect Bunny in real life, but in this novel, I did. Following her meandering through her life and her proximity to oil yet not understanding it completely was mesmerizing. This worked for me and liked the quick pace of time.

Our winner today is Mobility, with two thirds of the vote!
Both books had female MCs who were navigating their way through life, alongside unique storytelling about families, but each book had a distinctive style.
What did you think of the storytelling? Did you like both Belle and Bunny?
We‘re looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the books and today‘s result!
pickIt took me a while to get into this book but I ended up liking it much more than I thought it would.
I loved the satirical moments when Bunny tries to consider climate change and other momentous issues affecting the world but then gets distracted by a colleague's designer shoes. I'd like to think that I'm not like Bunny but I realize I'm writing this on my computer in my well heated home with my car parked outside the door. 😅
We broke 80 degrees for the first time ever for February today. Seems like a good day to start a book about the climate.
