Gissy @KT1432 I enjoyed it and I read it in conjunction with the audiobook. The narrator‘s voice is so pleasant. I always enjoy my audiobooks with her as a narrator. But, this book has mixed reviews, you like it or you don‘t. I don‘t see many comments in the middle side ☺️ 6m

The rapture was (and still is a little) a terrifying concept to me especially when I was younger so starting this was quite unsettling. But once I got over that, I was really interested in the human response in this scenario. I loved following the different people and can see how this would transition really well to the screen. It makes me want to watch the show given the way the ending was. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle I agree—it is an unsettling concept. Glad you liked this! 2d

We‘re about halfway through the month, #LiteraryCrew ! Any thoughts on the book so far?

As for 2026 voting, my goal is to open voting on Saturday, with voting running from Nov 15-29. I‘ll unveil the 2026 selections by Dec 1st.

Sargar114 Got the audio and about halfway through. It started out quite unsettling but I suppose that is probably the point, I‘m enjoying it and it really is giving quite some good for thought. 1w
Librarybelle @Sargar114 Good to know! I was wondering too how the story will unfold. Just picked up my copy from the library yesterday. 1w

November's #LiteraryCrew selection is a tad different than previous reads, so it adds a change of pace to our #BuddyRead. Discussion on November 30th.
Read at your own pace. I'll post periodic check-ins throughout the month (unless the month really slips by me).
All are welcome to join us! Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the tag list.

A little behind thanks to so much baseball 💔 so Sunday morning is for reading up for #sundaybuddyread with my coffee in a cup from Nice where I went to museums full of Picassos and my reading chair TBR is updated to include #finishwhatyoustarted #allergictochunksters #nonfictionnovember #literarycrew and my latest mini Lego set

Aims42 Ugh, what a heartbreaker of an ending 😢 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading Far From The Tree this month too! It is a commitment. 3w
mcctrish @ChaoticMissAdventures I started this so long ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ I stalled out at schizophrenia and truthfully I have always wondered why he didn‘t include a chapter on women considering how some of the world feels about having a girl child 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @mcctrish I just looked at the chapters yesterday, and was also immediately annoyed that there was a son chapter but nothing that spoke to women. Glad I am not alone there. 3w
TheBookHippie @mcctrish ugh so upset about the baseball. 3w
Aims42 @mcctrish very true! 😢💔 3w
janeycanuck Ugh, that game… right down to the very bitter end! May you be more successful in your quest to finish what you started! 3w

julieclair Looking forward to it. Poor Orquidea Divina, which I haven‘t started yet (but really want to read), will have to go to the back of the line. 🙁 3w

Quirky characters, magic, matriarchs, adventure… This book was a lot of fun! It follows the Montoya family as they try to unravel their powerful grandmother‘s dangerous secret to protect their home for future generations to come. Oh and there‘s a river god, a magical rooster, a circus, a living star, and flowers growing out of people. Somehow she makes it all work! 😂 #LiteraryCrew

Sparklemn I didn‘t finish it this month but your review is inspirational! 3w

It‘s time for the #LiteraryCrew discussion! I have 7 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. Feel free to jump in whenever for the discussion!

I will make the official post for November‘s book tomorrow!

Karisa I‘m about 70% of the way and loving it! It‘s so different and the characters are each so quirky, vibrant! I don‘t know why I am taking so long to read this one… But I am enjoying it 😊 3w
BookNAround There is one major plot discrepancy in this book that ruined how I was feeling about the novel as a whole and it is still driving me batty. More in the next comment (hidden by the spoiler tag). 3w
BookNAround How on earth is Lazarus wearing the ring in the picture since Bolivar wears it to control him? As this is the biggest clue to Marimar‘s father and the entire plot hinges on them figuring out who her father is, I am irrationally angry about this problem. 🤬 3w
