I could kick myself for letting so many @carl_hiaasen books linger on my #tbr list for so long. This one was just the shot in the arm I needed right now. I have some catching up to do. Hat tip to @instant361 for recommending Hiaasen to me all those years ago. #bookstagram #books #carlhiaasen

#AppleTVPlus ha svelato oggi le prime immagini di #CarlHiaasensBadMonkey, la nuova comedy del pluripremiato produttore esecutivo #BillLawrence (“Ted Lasso”, “Shrinking”) interpretata dall'attore, produttore e sceneggiatore #VinceVaughn, che funge anche da produttore esecutivo. Basata sul romanzo di #CarlHiaasen, bestseller del New York Times e cult intramontabile, la serie di 10 episodi farà il suo debutto il 14 agosto su @AppleTV + con i primi due episodi, seguiti da nuovi episodi ogni mercoledì fino al 9 ottobre. “Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey” racconta la storia di Andrew Yancy (interpretato da Vaughn) che è stato cacciato dal dipartimento di polizia di #Miami e ora fa l'ispettore sanitario nelle isole Keys. Dopo essersi imbattuto in un caso che si apre con un braccio umano ripescato dai turisti, si rende conto che se riuscirà a dimostrare che si tratta di un omicidio, rientrerà nel giro. Deve solo superare una serie di strani personaggi della Florida e una scimmia cattiva. Il cast comprende anche L. Scott Caldwell (“Il fuggitivo”), Rob Delaney (“Catastrophe”), Meredith Hagner (“Search Party”), Natalie Martinez (“La Promesa del Retorno”), Alex Moffat (“Saturday Night Live”, “Holiday”), Michelle Monaghan (“Gone Baby Gone” “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” ), Ronald Peet (“First Reformed - La creazione a rischio”) e Jodie Turner-Smith (“Queen and Slim”), con le guest star John Ortiz (“Fast and Furious”), Zach Braff (“Scrubs”) e Charlotte Lawrence al suo debutto televisivo. Prodotta dalla Warner Bros. Television, “Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey” è sviluppata dal produttore esecutivo e showrunner Lawrence, che l'ha prodotta attraverso la sua Doozer Productions insieme a Jeff Ingold, Matt Tarses (“Scrubs”), Marcos Siega, Vince Vaughn e Liza Katzer. “Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey” rappresenta la più recente collaborazione tra Lawrence e Warner Bros. Television per Apple TV+, dopo la serie di successo nominata agli Emmy “Shrinking” e il fenomeno “Ted Lasso”, co-creata da Lawrence, che ha fatto la storia diventando la serie comica esordiente più nominata agli Emmy di sempre e vincendo due volte l'Emmy come miglior serie comica per la prima e la seconda stagione.

QOTD: What books did you like growing up? Happy Friday! There were several books growing up I loved! I read Harry Potter 3-4 times as the series was coming out. At the time I just couldn’t get enough of the story. It was so much fun getting excited about the releases. I have really fond memories about both Hoot and Holes. My teacher in middle school read both books to our class. We even went and saw the movies as well. These are just some of my favorites growing up! Can’t wait to hear what books you liked growing up! Let me know in the comments!

A candy-colored stack of Florida crime novels for this summer. I’ve enjoyed Dave Barry’s previous novels Big Trouble and Tricky Business, both of which have an Elmore Leonard-like vibe combined with Barry’s keen eye for absurdity, but had no idea until last week that he had a new novel out. Fortunately he was a guest on John J Miller’s ten-minute podcast The Bookmonger, and I picked up the paperback of Swamp Story as soon as I could. My love and admiration for Elmore Leonard is well known, but Carl Hiaasen will be a new one for me. Been curious to read one of his books for a long time. Looking forward to these. Planning to take them along on family vacation around Independence Day—if I can wait that long. #davebarry #carlhiaasen #elmoreleonard #fiction #novels #florida #floridafiction #toread #reading #crimenovel #thriller

I may include some comments but I’m not a critic nor a promoter, and as long as people read, that’s what is important. 📚 #booksIfinishedthismonth #books #booksofinstagram #bookloversofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookworm #2024 #fiction #nonfiction
Happy humpday! I've been talking to a few of my peeps about Carl Hiassen and wanted to share this for #WhatToReadWednesday Tourist Season is a dark and humorous read set in sunny south Florida with a whole ensemble of zany characters. It's a mystery, a thriller, and political satire all rolled into one as Hiaasen devilvers the goods with each new chapter.

FFF: HOOT by Carl Hiaasen Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. Everybody, that is, except the colony of cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. Can the awkward new kid and his feral friend prank the pancake people out of town? Or is the owls' fate cemented in pancake batter? . . . #FFF #FunFictionFriday #JuvenileFiction #KidsBooks #LibraryBooks #Hoot #CarlHiaasen @carl_hiaasen

Happy Earth Day 2024! Carl Hiaasen’s books always have an element of environmentalism that appeals to me. Wrecker, set in the Florida Keys during the pandemic, is a clever romp about a boy caught up in shady smuggling, but also has commentary on the damage cruise ships do to the island. As still-waters-run-deep guy, Wrecker is my favorite kind of character, and I loved how it all worked out in the end. Wrecker is on the Texas Lonestar List, and a great choice for upper middle grade readers, grades 7-9. • • • #bookstagram #wrecker #carlhiaasen #earthday #environmentalism #florida #floridakeys #keywest #mglit #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #txlonestarbooks #uppermg

Si ci eravamo fermati, bloccati nel New England, forse in letargo al riparo di una graziosa villetta con veranda in legno…ad osservare le giravolte del mondo da una finestrella schermata da tende graziose… la verità è che a volte ci si ferma anche nella lettura..ma ora ripartiamo, saltiamo questo ultimo scampolo d’inverno per passare direttamente alle temperature tropicali della Florida dove i poliziotti, come ci insegnava Miami Vice, indossano costosi capi firmati guidando macchine sportive di lusso, l’animale simbolo è l’alligatore🐊e ricchi pensionati vanno a trascorrere la vecchiaia beneficiando del clima locale. 🌞È detta Sunshine State, per via del clima molto spesso sereno e soleggiato ma è nota anche per gli uragani ed è lo stato degli Usa dove cadono più fulmini. E’ stata una sfida coloniale per le potenze europee ed è per questo che la sua cultura riflette diverse influenze, quella anglosassone, amerinda, afro-americana ed ispanica (molto numerosa è la comunità cubana data la vicinanza con l’isola caraibica). E’ la quarta potenza economica degli Usa dopo California, Texas e New York. Di enorme importanza è l’industria del divertimento per via dei numerosi parchi a tema e quella aerospaziale🚀 sviluppata a partire dal 1962 con l’arrivo della Nasa a Cape Canaveral. 📗Il libro scelto per questa 9° tappa è "Hoot" di Carl Hiaasen, un libro per ragazzi e adulti, dove a suon di scherzi si combatte una battaglia ecologica... #50bookscoasttocoast #bookslover #booksaddict #bookishgirl #viaggiareleggendo #viaggiocoilibri #thesunshinestate #alligator #miamivice #nostalgia80 #capecanaveral #nasa #lightning #hoot #carlhiaasen #igersorlando #igersflorida #igersmiami #igersusa
"Sometimes you're going to be faced with situations where the line isn't clear between what's right and what's wrong. Your heart will tell you to do one thing and your brain will tell you to do something different. In the end, all that's left is to look at both sides and go with your best judgment." Carl Hiaasen, Hoot Hoot is a fun and unique novel for middle-grade readers about a group of kids who fight to save the habitat of burrowing owls, a threatened species in Florida. 🦉 It was a #newbery Honor Book in 2003.

Carl Hiaasen ist ein Meister giftiger und zugleich sehr humorvoller Kriminalromane mit einer gehörigen Portion Gesellschaftskritik. Kunststück! Als Journalist in Miami hat er über Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder schmierige Korruptionsfälle, Umweltverbrechen und all das aufgedeckt, was Florida zu einem Dream State für das organisierte und unorganisierte Verbrechen macht. Ein Autor, von dem man also nur lernen kann. Denn wie er Humor in die abscheulichsten Verbrechen bringt, das ist schon großes Kino. Und Der Reinfall (Originaltitel: Skinny Dip) ist sein vielleicht bester Roman. 👍🏻 #carlhiaasen #humorimkrimi #skinnydip #bookstagramde #bookstagramdeutschland #schriftsteller #autorenleben #autorenalltag #autor #autorenaufinsta #lebenalsautor #schriftstellerleben #autorenaufinstagram #schreiben #thriller #climatefiction #thrillerbooks #thrillerliebe #eisrauschthriller #killcampthriller #aufbauverlag #aufbauverlage #atb #bücherliebe #klimawandel #klimakrise

First reading of the year is: Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen.

I know this will be absolutely SHOCKING to hear, but I’ve never been a bright color guy. ⠀ Even as a teenager, I remember my brother describing my wardrobe color palette as “anything that makes you want to cry.” ⠀ Even now, I normally dress for school in shades of blue and gray. ⠀ I sometimes feel like a sentient rain cloud. ⠀ And while my mood is at its most cheery when it’s cloudy and rainy, even I have to admit January has been unusually cold and gray. ⠀ So, to bastardize a line from George Harrison, here comes the sun . . . in the form of books with yellow spines. ⠀ Believe me: I’m not taking this gloomy weather for granted. In another couple months, summer will bludgeon us like the moistest of hammers, and I’ll spend the next six months feeling sweaty and grouchy. ⠀ But even a curmudgeon like me has to admit it’s nice to have a little shot of color when the month as a whole has been uncharacteristically monochrome. ⠀ QOTD: How’s your week going? Mine has been unexpectedly busy, so I’m just trying to white knuckle it until the weekend. ⠀ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #instabooks #booklover #booknerd #bookish #teacherswhoread #readmorebooks #booksta #daveeggers #nickhornby #noahhawley #kurtvonnegut #marlonjames #monaawad #irvinewelsh #blakecrouch #carlhiaasen #ianrankin #yellowbookstack

Book: Strip Tease by Carl Hiaasen, 1993, Warner Books, 1st Warner Books Edition (1994) Found: Blacktail Books, Kalispell, MT Capsule Review: Although it’s from 1993, Strip Tease has resonance today, in the Epstein era. One of the story’s central characters is David Dilbeck, a hopelessly horny Florida congressman whose drunken escapade at a strip club sets off a complex chain of events involving extortion and murder. Erin, the noble stripper caught in the middle of the situation, meanwhile undergoes a custody battle from hell against her ex, a drug freak professional wheelchair thief. Other characters include Shad, the strip club bouncer hoping to retire off a fraudulent lawsuit involving packaged yogurt and a dead cockroach; and Mr. Orly, the perpetually aggrieved strip club owner who says he has mob connections but doesn’t; and Garcia, a Cuban detective out of his jurisdiction. Hiaasen drives home the theme of political corruption. His narration and characters tell it like it is: the wealthiest buy politicians and thus the law of the land favors the rich and powerful at all costs. “Every politician wore the same horseshit smile and gave the same horseshit speech,” thinks the stripper Erin. Strip Tease, comic, perverse, well-parsed, and musical, is one of the perfect madcap Florida man crime farces that Hiaasen is known for. #blacktailbooks #carlhiaasen #striptease #crimefiction #crimenovels #vintagepaperbacks #warnerbooks #bookstagram #bookcollector

One of my favorite parts of parenting is reading books together at the end of the day. We started when my daughter was just six months old, hoping that the magic of routine would provide some relief to nighttime waking. It really didn't. But what happened instead is that we have shared hundreds of books together in the evening. For many years, it was three picture books and to bed. Then came Winnie the Pooh, our first chapter book. This past year, I added in a poem before the main event (or maybe the poem is the main event). Currently, we're reading through THE PATH OF KINDNESS anthology of poetry. We're also 600 pages into The Goblets of Fire and I'm noting how in each Harry Potter book, there are multiple narrative questions to hold reader's attention. We haven't read all the Carl Hiaasen books, but we're moving through them. We're also buying every Witches of Brooklyn book as it comes out. Perhaps the book I was most excited to share with my daughter this year was JOHNNY TREMAIN, a book I remember from my own childhood. And perhaps the book that most honestly represented school politics was NEW KIDS & UNDERDOGS. Bonus points for having dog parkour as part of the plot. Next year, I plan to read EMILY OF NEW MOON with my daughter and LITTLE WOMEN. Maybe we'll also start on LORD OF THE RINGS. I like to imagine we'll all still be reading together when my kid is in high school, but my husband gently tells me to manage my expectations. What books have you read in 2023?

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les romans de Carl Hiaasen, c'est un auteur américain engagé dans la protection de l'environnement et ces romans sont principalement situés en Floride. Cette région est un décor propice pour ses intrigues policières qui mêlent écologie et question sociétale avec une touche d'humour bienvenue. Dans la gueule de l'alligator, on suit Richard, un ado un brin chétif mais courageux qui part à la recherche de sa cousine. Celle-ci s'est fait la malle avec un inconnu rencontré sur internet qui lui a promis monts et merveilles et évidemment le road trip s'est transformé en cauchemar... Ce que j'aime beaucoup dans les romans de Carl Hiaasen, ce sont les protagonistes qui sont des êtres ordinaires un peu marginaux, futés, attachés à leur environnement et qui prennent soin de la nature parce que cela va de soi. Et surtout, ils sont toujours entourés d'adultes farfelus qui les aident dans leur entreprise. L'humour apporte une touche de légèreté à l'aventure la rendant grotesque parfois, mais qui donne envie de poursuivre. A chaque roman, l'auteur nous fait découvrir un coin de la Floride : sa faune, sa flore et son histoire, l'impact écologique de la présence humaine. Les héros utilisent leur connaissance de la faune et de la flore, pour mener à bien leur enquête. J'apprends toujours quelque chose avec ces romans tout en m'amusant. Bien que ce ne soit pas une aventure pleine d'action, le suspense est tout de même au rendez-vous. J'aime beaucoup ce genre d'histoire, d'humour, ce style d'écriture. Je suis une grande fan de Carl Hiaasen, je suis sûrement peu objective, mais avec Snake boy, Dans la gueule de l'alligator est l'un de mes textes préférés de l'auteur. #danslagueuledelalligator #carlhiaasen #thierrymagnier #romanado #litteratureado #conseillecture #coupdecoeurlibraire #floride #livrestagram #ecologie
🌟 Bienvenid@s maniatic@s de los libros, hoy se celebra la Lotería de Navidad en España!🎄✨ El Sorteo Extraordinario, conocido como El Gordo, se celebra el 22 de diciembre desde su inicio en 1812 en Cádiz, ha evolucionado, y ahora el Palacio de Congresos y el Teatro Real son sus escenarios🎭 ✨La lotería es una fuente inagotable de emociones en la literatura 📚. Representa la oportunidad de un cambio radical en la vida de cualquiera. La lotería, aunque promete fortuna, lleva consigo desafíos como ilusiones rotas, riesgo de adicción, impacto financiero negativo, presiones sociales, falsas expectativas y divisiones económicas. Desde fortuna hasta transformación personal, las novelas de lotería exploran un abanico de temas: codicia, envidia, solidaridad y más.🎭💸 Algunos ejemplos de novelas sobre la lotería son: 📖 'La Lotería' de Shirley Jackson, un clásico de terror psicológico, nos sumerge en un pueblo donde la tradición anual es sortearte para ser apedreado. ¿Cómo aceptamos la violencia como parte de la normalidad? 🎫 'Un billete de lotería: el número 9672' de Julio Verne nos lleva a la aventura de Olie, un pescador noruego dado por muerto. ¡Su billete ganador desencadena una travesía para reclamar el premio! 💰 'La ganadora' de David Baldacci, un thriller donde ganar la lotería te convierte en blanco de criminales. ¡Explora los peligros del dinero y la codicia! 💸 'El billete de lotería' de Antón Chéjov nos muestra cómo el dinero transforma a un hombre en rico y arrogante. ¿Cuánto puede cambiar una fortuna? 😄🍀'Lucky You' de Carl Hiaasen es una sátira sobre la obsesión con la lotería y sus efectos cómicos y caóticos en la vida de los personajes. Como dice Mark Twain : 🎰🚫 'En dos ocasiones no debería jugar el hombre; cuando no tiene dinero 💸 y cuando lo tiene.' 🚫🎰 #loteríanavidad #shirleyjackson #julioverne #davıdbaldaccı #antonchejov #carlhiaasen #bookgram #efeméridesliterarias #efeméridemaniática
Recently finished this fun read by @carl_hiaasen. Have read two other books and this is the first #middlegrade book I read from him and it was what I needed after an intense work day. For me, anytime you read a book from an author that makes you want to read more from them, it’s a big win. Hoot was a lot of fun and a different kind of read in case you wan to mix it up. What can I say? Life is better with a good book. The beer was just a great bonus :) ☮️💙🍣📚 #funread #amreading #readingcommunity #carlhiaasen #goodreads #goodreadschallenge
A huge thank you goes out to @netgalley for the Advanced Readers Copy of Wrecker by Carl Hiaasen. Having heard a lot of good things about this author, I was thrilled to be approved to receive a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review and was not disappointed in the least. Although this book is written for middle grade children, it seems more mature for lack of a better word. I would have thought the target audience was young adults. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything that isn't appropriate for kids, it just seemed to be written for older kids. It was extremely well written, and I enjoyed it as an adult. The storyline was fantastic and mostly believable. I loved the fact that Hiaasen used COVID-19 as one of the major themes in the story. So many authors haven't written about it for whatever reason, and I am glad that some of what the world went through is captured in Wrecked for all eternity. Hopefully, it will give generations down the road a glimpse of what life was like during the pandemic. I really enjoyed the main character and his stepsister. They were written very believably. And, although I didn't care for Wrecker's mother, father, and stepfather, I felt like they were written realistically as well. The setting was Key West, which I have been able to visit twice before, so I enjoyed the fact that I could picture some of the island and more touristy attractions. I definitely want to go back there to visit and spend more time there. Four out of five stars is what I gave Wrecked by Carl Hiaasen. The only reason I didn't give it a five was that some of the story was a little slow. I look forward to reading more books by this author. #TheRunningBibliophile #NetGalley #Wrecker #CarlHiaasen #ARC #AdvancedReadersCopy #Book #Books #BookReview #BookReviews #BooksOfInstagram #Bookstagram

I was told to shove you out of the way. So I did. -the sentence that started a glorious friendship (I was the one being pushed) #qotd how did you meet your best friend? We lived in the same hall our freshman year of college! BOOK REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️💫 This book was slow to the point, slow to the punch, pretty much slow to everything. Not good or bad, just not my style. But that does certainly embody the attitude in the keys. The culture and local mentality was really well portrayed. Though I expect nothing less from a man who used to live in Islamorada. The only thing I found off was the cold front in April. Impossible, no, but also very unlikely in the post 2020 era. Willy as a character really annoyed me. She seemed to not have a thought in her head half the time and the other half the time she was gaslighting Wrecker. I do love that the whole cruise ship nonsense was in this book and I really hope this book helps spread the word that we don’t want cruse ships in the keys. #wrecker #carlhiaasen #floridabooks #floridafiction #keyweststyle #keyslife #generalfiction #closetohome #nauticalbooks #islandbooks

It's cold here in the northeast, so what better way to beat back the chill by reviewing Carl Hiaasen's MG novel, HOOT! 🦉 HOOT tells the story of a boy named Roy Eberhardt who moves to Florida and meets some pretty whacky kids (it is Florida, after all): a runaway boy nicknamed Mullet Fingers and a girl nicknamed Beatrice the Bear. Thanks to these friends, Roy discovers a shocking secret concerning the construction site of a new Mother Paula's Pancake House. A family of burrowing owls lives there and, if Roy and his pals don't act quick, the owls' home will be bulldozed and cemented over. Will these kids be able to stand up to a huge national chain like Mother Paula's??? You'll have to read the book to find out! Julia's take: I like how this story involves the environment, especially owls! Because I do love owls. I liked the book way better than the movie, mainly because there were funnier parts in the book. I originally thought Mother Paula's was a real pancake house and that I could go there and get pancakes...oh, well! 😛 Brian's take: An enjoyable read! It has a great message regarding conservation, a fun setting which somehow makes FL seem exotic, and quirky characters ranging from a wild runaway to a goodhearted police officer. And who could forget the corrupt, crooked VP of Mother Paula's, Chuck Muckle (What a name!)? Delightful read. Check it out! #hoot #carlhiaasen #bookreview #bookstagrammer #middlegradebooks #childrensbookreviews #dadanddaughter #readingwithyourkids #childrensbooks #kidsbookreview #conservation #briansandersbooks

Every time I’m out fishing and I come across an Osprey perched atop the mangroves i start to hear @jimmybuffett “The Ballad of Skip Wiley” playing in my head and I internally ponder whether it is Skip Wiley reincarnated that has come back to watch what a mess we’ve made with the place... #florida #mangroves #osprey #bird #birdphotography #outdoors #nature #conservation #keepfloridawild #jimmybuffett #carlhiaasen #touristseason
