julesG I really enjoyed Vetinari in this one, this time around. And I don't really know why. 18h
willaful Well that's new. I don't think Pratchett has ever made me cry before. (Except his biography.) 17h
julesG @willaful It's happened to me too. This one and Shepherd's Crown 😭 7h

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).

Sace I only just started Orquídea Divina yesterday ?? 6d
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. 🙁 6d

Sparklemn The plot sounds like the Avengers Snap. 🙂💜 Stacking! 6d

Thoughts on the book? Thoughts on the themes? Thoughts on the author? Just thoughts in general?

Will you read more by this author?

Sorry for such a quick little post for the discussion at the end but I'm battling the flu and a cold right now and this is about as much thought as my head can put into anything right now 😆!

mcctrish I am so glad you kicked my butt to finally read this - I will totally read more JB. It should be required reading imo. The glimpse into what life was like for indigenous people, women especially, and the trauma of war 1w
Jess861 @mcctrish This turned into The Bird Family trilogy if you liked it. Through Black Spruce is the second book in the trilogy. 1w

Ruthiella I‘m glad to finally read Boyden. I don‘t think I will continue with the trilogy, however. There‘s something about the writing style that doesn‘t grab me. But I appreciate this portrayal of the indigenous Canadian experience of WWI. Hope you feel better soon! ❤️ (edited) 1w
Jess861 @Ruthiella Sometimes writing styles are just hard to get into! Glad you didn't mind the book! Thanks so much...I look forward to not feeling like a bag of bricks has hit my head 😆 1w
lauraisntwilder I hope you're on the mend soon! This was a good one. 7d
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks so much! It's what happens with young kids - always sick, lol 7d
Blueberry I'm still reading. I realized I had already read the third on the series. Now I'll have to read the second. I do like his writing. 5d
Jess861 @Blueberry Glad you're enjoying it! It is definitely a solid book to get through even though it's not a huge page count (I found so anyways) 5d
kwmg40 I hope you are recovering. I started this book but got bogged down in the trench scenes and decided to put it aside for a while. I'll probably get back to it eventually. I've not read Boyden's other books but I've seen the movie adaptation of Through Black Spruce. I thought it was good, though it had gotten mixed reviews. 4d
Jess861 @kwmg40 Totally get it - I think that's what I meant about a solid book up above. Sometimes it's good to put a read aside for a bit! 4d
PurpleyPumpkin Hope you're on the mend @Jess861! I just finished this audiobook today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent writing and the war scenes sometimes had me on the edge of my seat. I like JB but sometimes have a hard time getting started with his books. So, this was a welcome pick for me. Thanks for hosting! 17h
Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Glad you enjoyed it and were able to get through the book! Sometimes books work better on audio. 4h

7. Setting plays an important part in the novel. Though the location of Four Rivers is left purposefully vague within the United States, where do you think it might be? Why? Compare Orquídea‘s experience growing up in Ecuador and her descendants‘ experience visiting decades later. ~from Simon & Schuster Reading Group Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Karisa I pictured it in the Southwest like maybe Arizona. It reminded me of Flagstaff which is beautiful in a tree, forest way that is so surprisingly different than the dry beauty of the desert all around it 1w

6. The climax of the novel pulls all of the characters back to Four Rivers, to the base of Orquídea Divina‘s ceiba tree. Why was this the perfect location for their last stand? What did it mean for the remaining Montoyas to come together once more? ~from Simon & Schuster Reading Group Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Karisa It centered the ending and their power back to home. The portal back felt a bit of a cheat move but it helped move the story along. It also brought it all back to the central character of the family, Orquidea 1w
