I really really liked this book also.

For those of you (including me) who haven't yet decided on a cli-fi book, this came through my FB feed last week: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/26/745379...

Would the Rick Yancy The Fifth Wave series count for this?

[Pie]

Would any of The Maze Runner books fit this prompt?

FWIW, I don't think this is cheating at all!

I was just coming here to rec it as a cli-fi book - I definitely think it fits the prompt.

The Overstory by Richard Powers: "Nine Americans whose unique life experiences with trees bring them together to address the destruction of forests."

FYI, it also fits the celebrity rec prompt (thanks to Keanu Reeves).

It's not cheating! The Lorax is a great fit for this prompt.

Thanks. I was just coming on here to ask if this book was cli-fi.

I read We Are Unprepared.

Would Dune qualify here?

It’s on my TBR so hoping it does!

I have requested this from my library. I will use it for two prompts #15 and # 41. I do not have a problem using one book for more than one prompt or else I will not complete the task.

The Migration by Helen Marshall.

Anyone else try Barkskins and just.not.able.to.struggle.through?

Ugh - I think I cannot finish it.
