I just looked for this book and it shows on Amazon as not being available until 1 June, both Kindle and hardcover.

[Jeff]

I saw the same as Cindy Ann, that the book won't be published until June 1

[Sher]

I have ordered a like new copy also, but I see it is not available on Audible until June. My copy should be here by March 4th so I will be able to do a discussion in March.

Cindy Ann I got my copy -- through ABE books-- check them out. For some odd reason this book seems available through sellers other than Amazon more easily.

I've been looking for it for the past week without any luck, I'll check into the options mentioned. It sounds like an excellent read.

[Sher]

Yes. it is such a different topic; I hope folks can find a copy.

Check Abe, Book Depository, Better World Books, and Thrift Books... And best of luck!

[Cindy Ann]

The new hardcover price is a bit too much for my budget. I'll read it on Kindle in June. Looks really interesting. I look forward to reading people's comments.

Yeah, I've spent my book budget already. Very interested in reading this one but will wait.

Just a reminder for folks-- you can make this book into a Side Read, if you like in June or July. A Side Read is a buddy read.... the folder is found by scrolling down on our home page...

John:
I wanted to let you know my book has not arrived, and they are saying later March , which means, I may not get to read it this month-- so may defer this to a June or July Side Read, so everyone who wants can join the discussion.

Thankfully it is out in the UK and I managed to get a copy from the library. I really enjoyed it, Flyn is a sensitive author who writes about the places that she travels too with a critical but not harsh eye. She is careful to acknowledge where humanity has utterly buggered things up, but also where we have made some amends to reset things back. Though it was pretty good overall. My review is here:

For those who could not get this book -- Lin and Sher will run Islands of Abandonment as a Side Read. June 1 - July 1, 2021.

All are welcome --see the Side Reads folder to find the thread.
