After seeing this book posted all over for the #setinsouthamerica day, I decided it was about time I got around to reading it. And now it's perfect for #fullofadventure. The amount of explorers that have gone missing looking for others who had previously gone missing is crazy! @RealLifeReading #booktober #currentlyreading

Shemac77 This is on my shelf! Looking forward to your thoughts. 9y

I'm a little late to the #booktober party! I caught this strange and wonderful movie on cable one night and later discovered it was based on a book #setinsouthamerica which is also strange and wonderful in different ways.

#booktober #setinsouthamerica well sort of. Mrs Pollifax is my favorite mystery series and this is the first book. Mrs Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick NJ is a widow with grown children and her volunteer work and Garden Club meetings aren't enough to staunch the ennui of her life. Her doctor suggested she try something that she'd always wanted to do. So she joined the CIA of course. Her first assignment is to Mexico City.

An unbelievable survival tale that would seem ludicrous if it was fiction. BUT IT REALLY HAPPENED. This true story has it all - a plane crash, compelling characters, and CANNIBALISM. Not for those with weak stomachs.

athorne I have this one sitting on my to-read shelf. Picked it up for a quarter. I hope I'll enjoy it! 9y
Skyler @EMJenkinson I loved it! If you like adventure tales and aren't too squeamish, it's an incredible read. 9y
athorne @Skyler I'm the opposite of squeamish when it comes to books. 😼 9y

Since I don't know how much time I'll have to read this month, I decided to start off October with some short stories. They're described as "dark, gothic, fantastic, and grotesque". Sounds like a good time ? #booktober #setinSouthAmerica #ebook

Would you believe I can't think of a single book I've read set in South America?! 😱😱😱 Setting out to right this wrong immediately, starting with this gorgeous book recommended by @Liberty when she was handing out personalized recs here on Litsy! I can't wait. #booktober #setinsouthamerica #bookssetinsamerica

RealLifeReading I've been meaning to read this but didn't realize it's set in Brazil (at least a futuristic Brazil so says the blurb). 9y
Chessa Yes! At this point I'll take any South American country, future or past! 😂 9y
