Devolution 📚New Blog Post 📚 . Link in bio 👆👆👆 TBT!! ⭐️#devolution ⭐️ . 💫 Max Brooks 💫 . 🎧 Narrated by: Judy Greer, Max Brooks, Jeff Daniels, Nathan Fillion, Mira Furlan, Terry Goss, Kimberly Guerrero, Kate Mulgrew, Kai Ryssdal, Steven Weber.🎧 🎧 I absolutely loved Brooks prior novel #worldwarz I was so excited to get an ALC of #devolution and this book did not disappoint. 🎧 This book tells the story of a town after the Mt. Rainier eruption and their isolation from the rest of their world as they are terrorized by “Big Foot”. 🎧 The “Greenloop Massecure” is told from multiple interviews but primarily from Kate Holland’s journal entries. Her entries journal how they survived after being cut off from the world and how they fought against the family of Sasquatches. The detail of these creatures at times had me believing this was a true story. This wasn’t just a story about Big Foot thought, it was a sorry of introspection and Kate’s view of herself and everyone in her community. What do you do with a couple like her and Dan when she described them as both Betas? Who takes the lead? When tragedy strikes who do you become? 🎧 I absolutely love #maxbrooks writing style. I want to thank #libro.fm and #randomhouseaudio for the ALC in exchange for an audio review. This was a total performance and in my opinion #judygreer is one of the very best narrators there are. She is absolutely amazing in this performance as is the rest of this cast. The options were already picked up to have this book adapted into a movie and you can guarantee I will be watching it! 🎧  The BEST part of this service is that they partner with local book stores. The proceeds from the audiobooks are shared with the local bookstore of your choosing. I have linked my account to Semicolon Book Store. This bookstore is Chicago’s ONLY Black Woman-owned bookstore. They are also partnered with Chicago Public Schools with direct donations of books. 🎧 @Semicolon is located at ‪515 N Halsted St. Chicago‬ ‪312-877-5170‬ ‪🎧 my referral code Is lfm180595 #quarantine#foffimreading#bookclub#bookblog#bookreviewblog#bookaddict#bookcommunity#booklover#goodreads#Randomhouseaudio#librofm#maxbrooksauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTRFZiAmcc/?igshid=cn2ls9urnm3l

CAMINO ISLAND JOHN GRISHAM

MY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PUBLISHER Random House Audio PUBLISHED June 6, 2017 NARRATOR January LaVoy

A masterfully crafted story of a dramatic heist and the suspenseful search for five priceless manuscripts.

SUMMARY Five priceless F. Scott Fitzgerald handwritten manuscripts are stolen from Princeton University. Only one drop of blood was left behind. The culprits had planned their get away well, and planned for all manner of contingencies. The FBI is investigating, as is the investigative arm of the insurance company that is on the hook for the financial loss, to the tune of $25 million. These experienced investigators have leads that the manuscripts might be in Camino Island, Florida, just north of Jacksonville. They need a Camino Island insider to go undercover, so they hire a young women author who has ties to the area. And she needs the money! She is instructed to get to know the local independent bookstore owner. And boy, does she!

REVIEW CAMINO ISLAND is an highly entertaining heist thriller. It’s not anything like the legal thrillers Grisham usually writes. It’s even better. I really appreciate that he branched out from his norm.

This is a great novel about rare books, first editions, independent books stores and authors. Grisham conveys a good deal of knowledge about writing books and the book selling industry. I have a tendency to love any book, that has books as it theme!

All the characters in CAMINO ISLAND are both likable and believable. The pace of the book is fast and as a result it’s a quick, easy and most enjoyable read. As a native Floridian, I love it when books are set in Florida, and even though Camino Island is fictional, it certainly seemed real to me. This would make a great summer beach read. Highly recommended.

I listened to the Audible edition of the book. It was narrated by January LaVoy who did an absolutely fabulous job.
