Where the Crawdads Sing By Delia Owens ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I started reading Where the Crawdads Sing two years ago and didn't get far enough to feel the hook of it so I returned it to the library. I decided to give it another chance, listening to it primarily on audiobook until about 50% when the book became available through my library. I enjoyed reading it more than listening. I hadn't read the synopsis in a long time nor had I watched the movie trailer so I wasn't positive what I was getting myself into. This type of historical fiction is so interesting to me and while I enjoy reading it, I rarely seem to pick it up. It's up there with The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah for me. I love how we see Kya grow and learn to live on her own after her family abandons her and the town writes her off. She is fortunate enough to have a few people that care about her, including Tate (though in my opinion he royally messed up). I loved learning about the swamps in North Carolina and at one point realized either a lot of research went into this book or Delia Owens has a background in wildlife, biology, and zoology (she does). It was equally fun and educational to read. I was so happy to see a redeemed life for Kya after living in survival mode for many years. Overall, five stars because once I found the hook, I couldn't stop listening/reading. • • • • • #wherethecrawdadssing #lizzierecommends #northcarolinacoast #bookstomovies #bookstragrammer #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookstagramcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfwiz_5LMvl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
