August‘s #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead selection has garnered much praise in the book world—will we agree???

Read at your own pace during the month. I will periodically post check-ins. Discussion on August 31st. All are welcome. Let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the tag list!

Librarybelle @Teresereading Would you like to continue to be tagged for the group? So sorry to ask—the notes I have on who is tagged for which group is missing if you just had an interest in Burial Rites or reading monthly with Literary Crew. 6h

🔎 This is a gentle reminder for any #EBBR readers to look into getting a copy of the tagged title, the next book (no. 7) in the series, for our joint-read in August.

🔎 Another fun opportunity to channel your inner 9 year old and match wits with Idaville‘s boy detective!

If anyone wants to be removed or added to the tag list, let me know.

7. Hannah Kent calls her novel a ‘dark love letter to Iceland‘ in her Acknowledgements. What does she mean by this? Did you read the novel in this way? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

PurpleyPumpkin Yes, I found her description quite interesting. It seemed apt to me! 1d

6. Death is a major theme in this novel, but it is also about life and living. When
Agnes faces the day of her execution all she wants to do is live, despite the harrowing nature of the life she has endured. Do you agree/disagree? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Jerdencon I do believe the instinct for survival is deeply inherent in all of us…. And Agnes is no different despite her difficult life. 2d
PurpleyPumpkin There were times when Agnes was on the farm that she just wanted it all to end, that the waiting was the torture. But when she was about to die, she, and those around her, wanted her to live. She was an intelligent and curious person so it wasn‘t surprising to me that she truly wanted to live. And in the end, she was surrounded by love and support which I think gives one a reason to live. 1d

5. Blöndal is the real villain of this piece. His dispassionate communications with
those whom he controls are filled with venom and spite. What did you make of his
decision to lodge Agnes with District Officer Jón and his family? What do you believe
happened at Stóra-­‐Borg that caused Blöndal to move Agnes to Kornsá? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

PurpleyPumpkin I never really thought about that! I just accepted the explanation that money and location were an issue (at least I think that‘s what we were told at the beginning).🤔 1d
