After 43 days, I am calling it. I can‘t push myself any further. I tried the digital arc that I received, then I added the audio, then I added a print copy, in hopes that I would be able to push thru. I love this period of US History, but the slow meandering plot just did me in. Also, at this part of the book, some things were added to the story that I felt just slowed it down further and didn‘t make sense with where things were going. I read 👇🏻

intothehallofbooks the last few chapters and, honestly, I wish I‘d have stopped trying weeks ago. Many people love this one, so don‘t take only my word for it. It just sadly wasn‘t the book for me. Thanks to Knopf for allowing me to read this one. I love Dust Bowl stuff and it stinks that this one didn‘t work out for me. 12h

It doesn‘t always work out when authors try to wrap up everything beautifully with an explanation of the deeper meaning, but she does this wonderfully! I loved the ending!

Also loved reading about Genoa, NE, my grandparents‘ old stomping grounds 🥰

My Busytown book bag has passed the rigorous Kitty Inspection Process and is all ready for read-alouds Tuesday morning! After a busy several days (family and friends visiting from across the country for my spouse's 50th, an early-morning emergency room visit for my father-in-law (he's doing well now, thankfully), and an earthquake), I feel ready to be back in the classroom with the preschoolers reading about animals.

After a few weeks of just “meh” reading, I‘m excited to start my week with this one. I hope it‘s as good as I want it to be.

BC_Dittemore I‘ve heard excellent things about this. I was gonna try to put it on hold at one of my libraries but every list is like 80 ppl waiting for 4 copies. 😅 1w
bio_chem06 @BC_Dittemore, surprisingly I didn‘t have to wait on the list long. So far I‘m enjoying it, it‘s not like anything I‘ve read before. It has historical fiction aspects but then it has “witches” in the dustbowl. Very interesting and I‘ve read 150 pages in two days. 1w

Whew boy, this has been tough to get into. I‘m 25% thru and have been reading this book for four weeks, two days. Soooo slowww.

I love reading about the Dust Bowl, so got an ARC from NetGalley and have been chipping away at it for ages. I almost DNF‘d but decided to get the audio from the library to see if that helps me push thru, and it does. I‘m finally getting a little bit eager to see where the story goes. But I‘ve really had to work for it.

annahenke I want to read this because I like her and I like this time period. However, this is not the first I‘ve heard of it being slow. 1w
