Washed Away: How the Great Flood of 1913, America's Most Widespread Natural Disaster, Terrorized a Nation and Changed it Forever | Geoffrey Williams

pick

Extended heavy rains in 1913 caused widespread, devastating flooding that impacted most of the eastern and central US, causing major damage and leading to flood mitigation efforts. Washed Away takes the reader through those days, focusing on Ohio and Indiana, the hardest hit, and telling the story through the experiences of individuals. A really compelling read! #ReadYourEbooks (May)

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett

“Wounded” is a compelling read. It‘s a quick one too. There‘s a lot happening in 207 pages.

#Read2025 #AuthorAMonth2025

Finished today for #AuthorAMonth May. I loved James & wanted to read more Everett & ended up with this one because it was available from my library. I don‘t read a lot of Westerns it‘s just not a genre I gravitate to, but Everett drew me in with his sly wit & dark humor that had me laughing while also wincing at the racism & ignorance of the MC, Curt Marder & other characters in the book. I did not love the ending.

Belle Greene | Alexandra Lapierre

pick

I‘ve had this book on Kindle for months, way back when it was the last book for #EuropaCollective. Finally got around to it! A very interesting story about Belle Greene who became the chief librarian for J.P. Morgan in the early 1900s, all while passing as “white” even though her parents were descended from slaves. It‘s amazing how far we‘ve come from when having a single drop of black blood disqualified someone from so much.

Tamra I think about the Morgan family & Belle and the tragedy of her nephew not infrequently. 2mo

BarbaraBB I‘ll bump it up my TBR. I‘ve got a copy for #EuropaCollective as well. We should bring that reading club to live again! 2mo

Lesliereadsalot You have so much going on already! On one hand, I found every book we read from Europa to be interesting and valuable. On the other hand, I‘m not too good with having to be “responsible” for reading something. If you want to try to bring #EuropaCollective back to life together, I‘ll give it a shot. What do you think @BarbaraBB ??? 2mo

Lesliereadsalot Yes, very sad and I can‘t stop thinking about it either. @Tamra 2mo

BarbaraBB I‘d like that. We could check out if the former participants are interested and then maybe start again in the fall (after camp)? (edited) 2mo

Tamra @BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot yes! I really enjoyed the Europa reads! 😁 2mo

BarbaraBB @Tamra That‘s so good to know! We can revive it! 2mo

Lesliereadsalot OK, I‘m in! Let‘s talk about it after camp. I‘ll work on getting the former participants list together over the summer. 🩷. @BarbaraBB 2mo

BarbaraBB Great ❤️🧡🤍 2mo

tpixie @BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot @Tamra I wrote a post last month or so about reading a #EuropaCollective in June. I better post it now so people can get the book! 📕 it‘s by the author of The Postcard- written with her sister- about another grandmother
