Loved this audiobook. Took me a little to get into it at first, but when I got the hang of it, I couldn‘t stop.

This was not the story I was expecting but I love how unapologetic and real it felt.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a difficult book. Halfway through the first chapter I considered bailing, but I had known going in what to expect and so pushed on. I'm glad that I did. Though I'll probably need to reread it several times before I can claim to have caught everything going on here, it's clear by the end of this first read that something truly great is happening here. Like all great art, it demands a lot from its audience, but the hard work is worth it.

Ruthiella Oof! I had such trouble making my way through this book! 😅 I may have been too young to have tackled it. It was over 25 years ago. 1w
Liz_M Nice seasonal reading, Day of the Dead type book! I don't think I would catch everything even if i read it a half-dozen times. 😂 1w
Reggie @Ruthiella 7!!!! you were 7 when you tried reading this?!!!! lol 1w
Ruthiella @Reggie That‘s right! 😜 7…not 37…😂 1w

Current audiobook…This has been on my TBR for a while and was so happy that it was picked as the alternate selection on one of my book clubs this month.

This was a true surprise for me. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning. It was so thrilling and exciting. I definitely recommend this as a fall read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On the dawn of September 16, 1810, a priest named Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bell in Dolores and shouted the words that would change history: “¡Viva México!”

💚 September 16 is not just a holiday.
🤍It is proof that nations are built by ordinary people with extraordinary bravery.
❤️ It is a reminder that Mexico‘s spirit cannot be conquered.

After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks She's hit or miss for me now. I loved her earlier books, but either her writing style changed, or I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

julieclair Good for you! 1mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny @TheBookgeekFrau I listened to it, but I don‘t know if that would help. I hope it gets better for you! 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Listening to books doesn't work for me, my mind wonders too much lol But, thank you, I've read some more and am getting into it....for now 😅 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair And Thanks to *You* for this challenge!💞 You are the fire beneath my chunkster avoiding ass 😂 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea The first 30 or pages had me really regretting my decision. But I figured I had to at least give it to 50. I'm currently on 52 and getting into it. 1mo

3⭐️ I really tried to understand what this book was about and while it was an interesting read, I really didn‘t understand it. I am really interested to hear what others in this #Canadianlit #bookclub I am a part of will think of the book. #2025 #fiction #sciencefiction #speculative #historicalfiction #fiction #canadian #mexico
