Bookwormjillk That was a heck of a last few paragraphs.

“Our people are good people; our people are kind people. Pray God some day kind people won't all be poor. Pray God some day a kid can eat.“ 3d

TheAromaofBooks Also am I the only one super worried about Rose of Sharon's baby?? 😭I'm afraid Steinbeck is going to kill him/her off!!! 3d

lauraisntwilder @Bookwormjillk That line got me, too. 3d

lauraisntwilder @TheAromaofBooks You're not the only one. ☹️ 3d

SamAnne Ummm….sounds like I should keep the ending to myself…. 3d

TheAromaofBooks @SamAnne - Since it's Steinbeck, I just assume everyone dies 😅 3d

lil1inblue 1. #historyrhymes 2. I got a few days behind, so I read 4 chapters today to catch up. I'm ok, but I'm not ok. 😭😭😭 3d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder 🙋🏻‍♀️ But to be honest, I‘m worried about all of them. Also: are we ever going to hear from Noah again?! Ma was ready to threaten everyone with a hand jack so they wouldn‘t split up, but Noah walks off and they just go on?! @lil1inblue I‘ve been motivated to keep up because I don‘t think I can take this in larger doses than one chapter a day 😩😭 3d

Bklover @BarbaraJean I wondered that too Ma seemed almost relieved that he was gone. Very strange. 3d

ElizaMarie I agree with y‘all! I wonder if Noah will resurface- and even then - how do people find each other!? Like I feel like the world is too big. 2d

Bklover I can‘t even imagine this life. On top of all the hardships they also deal with relentless heat, bugs bugs bugs, and nowhere to bathe. 😳🥺. These people were tough!! 5d

TheAromaofBooks This book is so sad but the writing is so good! 5d

Bklover You‘d think with all that extra coming in from the truck drivers Mae could give the guy a loaf of bread. I know she was ok with the boys, but I still wouldn‘t call her generous. Thank goodness Al is there. Does anyone else think A-I when they see the name Al? Every time. 1w

Bklover Oh, and if you didn‘t know- IITYWYBAD is “ If I tell you will you buy another drink”. I didn‘t know. 1w

BarbaraJean After all that with the bread, then the boys and the candy! 🥹 @Bklover I‘m with you on the name “Al.” Every single time! I used A-I (not Al) to look up the acronym because I had no idea. 😆 1w

Bookwormjillk @Bklover yes on the AI 1w

SamAnne My favorite chapter so far! 1w

TheAromaofBooks Despite Mae being kind of stingy with the bread, this chapter overall felt like a look on the more hopeful side of things - I loved the way the truckers covered all the expenses when they left. 1w

lil1inblue @SamAnne Mine too! Also, based on past interactions with truckers at vatious jobs, I can confirm that they're so kind. 7d

lil1inblue @ElizaMarie 😅 1w

lil1inblue I'm slightly annoyed that the pattern of one #wrathsnack and then one Joad chapter is ruined. 😂 I appreciated the second to last paragraph in this chapter... We needed some #goodpeopletoo! 1w

BarkingMadRead @lil1inblue it definitely felt weird, it should be 1 and 1 and nothing else 🤣 1w

Bookwormjillk So today I learned there are only supposed to be 30 chapters in this book but for some reason mine has 50 something. And that's why I am so behind all the time. I feel so relieved. I thought I was imagining having read each day's chapter 😂Anyway I'm caught up now. 2w

Bklover “How will we know it‘s us without our past?” 🥺 2w

willaful Another excruciating chapter. Steinbeck really paints a picture.

(It brought up some painful memories of my childhood, when we were very nomadic and I always had to leave stuff behind, and then there's now when I worry about whether we should be emigrating. Not the my life has been anything like this hard.) 2w

ElizaMarie I felt so sad for the kiddos with having to leave their things. Every space counts and having to justify what would and would not make the cut matters. 2w

KAO This chapter reminded me of the estate sale that I stopped by this weekend. It struck me as so very sad to see all of these seemingly random items as well as apparently once treasured collectibles left behind. I had so many questions about who lived there and what circumstances brought about the need for this sale, but I didn‘t speak to anyone about it and left—with one little garden decoration ($4) ready to start a new life in my yard. 2w

lil1inblue @Bklover That quote... 😭 2w

lil1inblue I'm glad this is a buddy read, because I couldn't handle this book alone. 2w

Bklover @lil1inblue Me too! I need the humor in this group just so I can read this stuff! 2w

Bklover @willaful 🩷🩷 2w

Bookwormjillk Finally caught up. This was a rough chapter. 2w

SamAnne Forgot exactly how rough this novel could be!!! 2w
