Same, but I still love reading them! They definitely keep me on the edge of my seat.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lydia!

I know this is a genre we both love! I'm always getting great suggestions for survival books from your blog. You would enjoy I AM STILL ALIVE. I think we'll both like AVALANCHE when we read it.

HATCHET is probably the first book I ever read in the survival genre. It's been years since I read it as a kid and I don't think I ever read the sequels. Maybe it's time for a re-read!

Thanks for stopping in, Deb!

Thanks for the recs! THE LIFEBOAT CLIQUE and NOT IF I SAVE YOU FIRST are already on my TBR, but I hadn't heard of MEET THE SKY. I just added it to my list.

I loved HATCHET when I was a kid. I haven't read it since then, so I might be due for a re-read.

Thanks for stopping in, Nicole!

I read Hatchet many times when I was a kid, but I haven't picked it up in ages. I wonder what adult-me would think of it? You're right, it might be time for a re-read!

I hadn't paid any attention to the topography until you mentioned it, but there is a good variety of styles here, isn't there? Interesting.

Several people have said the same, so I'm definitely going to get myself a copy. I'm headed to the library in a couple hours - hopefully, they'll have one on hand.

Thanks for stopping in, T!

Definitely check it out! Because the book is in verse, it's a really fast read, but it's also engrossing. One cool thing about it is that some of the verses are printed in different shapes that reflect what's going on in the story. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's one of the things I really liked about the book.

It sounds like an excellent book. I hope we both love it!

Same! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, which is full of mountains, trees, and rivers. I love me a forest!

Thanks! It's always fun to go rogue for TTT :)

Thanks for stopping by, Poinsettia!

Thanks! I love a good human vs. nature story - as long as I'm not the human in question :)

Thanks for coming by!

There are lots of them out there, but somehow, not enough for me! LOL.

It's a good one! It brings some new elements to the Titanic book genre.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by!

Same! It's a riveting book and I learned tons about Mt. Everest. I have zero interest in mountain climbing myself, but it's a fascinating subject to read about.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Jen!

It's a very immersive book. I felt like I was on Everest right along Krakauer. It's one that has stuck with me even though it's been a few years since I read it.

Survival stories generally are because they pull you in and keep you glued to your seat with all the inherent tension, drama, and excitement!

I haven't read anything by Ivey, but I've heard great things about both BRIGHT EDGE and SNOW CHILD. I'm picking up the former from the library today.
