Demon Copperhead: A Novel | Barbara Kingsolver

My sister in law just left this morning to head back to NYC, but I had to go back to work. Sooooo I‘m not making as much progress on this AMAZING book as I‘d like to be, sadly! But I‘m still loving Demon‘s voice. He jumps right off the page! #demonparty #copperheads

Cinfhen

Scochrane26 I‘m reading this book now, too 2y

Cinfhen Agreed!!! I had to put it aside because it was getting a bit bleak but im missing Demon. 2y

Cinfhen @Scochrane26 a group of us are all reading this book now at our own pace. We‘re just checking in with each other from time to time if you feel like joining I can add your name to the list. 2y

Scochrane26 @Cinfhen Sure, you can add me. Thanks! 2y

Demon Copperhead: A Novel | Barbara Kingsolver

Hey #Copperheads !!!! Here are two quotes that grabbed me RIGHT AWAY!! I have a feeling we SHOULD hold unto these ideas as we begin our #DemonParty 😊If anything else grabs you please share!! Also I haven‘t read David Copperfield so im curious to hear some of the parallels!!

AllDebooks Here we go .... 😍 2y

Chelsea.Poole I haven‘t read David Copperfield either. I‘m intrigued but not enough to give it a go 😆 maybe I‘ll find a film adaptation for comparison. Thanks for putting this together! (edited) 2y

JamieArc Add me to the tag list! I couldn‘t resist making it my last purchase of 2022. Trying not to have to have too high of expectations for it with all the great reviews… 2y

AmyG I was thinking yesterday that I should read David Copperfield. Then I thought…nah. I read the book first then I read a synopsis of David Copperfield on sparknotes. I was pretty shocked at the similarities. My advice…..read Demon Copperhead without knowledgeable of D Copperfield. Avoid spoilers. 2y

SamAnne I‘m planning to read both! Or try….. 2y

mcctrish I might listen to David Copperfield ( I want to say I watched a pbs show a million years ago) and I‘m anxiously awaiting delivery of my copy of Demon I ordered 2y

gossamerchild Yeah, if you want to avoid spoilers I'd say wait to read David Copperfield. That was my very first Dickens and probably still my favorite. Might be fun to read it after this. So far I adore this book. It's so different from her other stuff, but still good. 2y

Cinfhen I agree this book feels different than her previous books @gossamerchild and im loving it too!! But I agree, probably NOT knowing all the details ahead of time will make for a more gripping story @AmyG @AllDebooks @Chelsea.Poole @SamAnne @mcctrish - glad you‘re joining in @JamieArc 💜 2y

JamieArc @Cinfhen Thanks! 2y

AllDebooks @Cinfhen Wow, what an opening chapter!!! We're in for a treat. Defo a departure from her usual style of writing. I'm completely invested, already. 😍 Having read DC, my advice would be to avoid Dickens until after Copperhead. I'm going to read it but later in the month. Just because it's the 1st Dickens I ever read as a child, so I do have a soft spot for it. 2y

Karisimo @Cinfhen If it‘s not too late to join, please add me to the tags! 2y

Demon Copperhead: A Novel | Barbara Kingsolver

Did you get a copy of Demon Copperhead from Santa? Do you feel like joining @LeeRHarry @AllDebooks and me for a very informal #BuddyRead in January?!? I‘m looking forward to reading this book and thought it might be fun to read along with others. Thinking we could read at our own pace but check in periodically throughout the month to share impressions. (No Spoilers!) If you‘d like to participate drop a note below. No pressure 🤓

TrishB You know how bad I am at these…. 2y

mcctrish I didn‘t get it but I do have to read if for bookclub, so count me in and I‘m off to find a copy 2y

LeeRHarry I was convinced I‘d be getting this but didn‘t 😆 I‘ll pick it up on my travels or at the latest mid Jan when I‘m back in Aus 😊 (edited) 2y

Cuilin Got a notification that my library has it on hold for me. Love to join in. 2y

BookBelle84 Me too! I wasn't sure if I should attempt David Copperfield first. 2y

Cinfhen I‘m sorry @LeeRHarry that Santa didn‘t deliver 😂😂But glad you‘re still joining! Yay @Cuilin @mcctrish I‘m looking forward to reading with you all. I didn‘t tag you @TrishB because our track record is pretty abysmal😂😂😂but of course I‘d LOVE for you to join us XX 2y

Cinfhen I was wondering the same @BookBelle84 but I heard it‘s fine to go in without being familiar with the original text😊 2y

LeeRHarry @BookBelle84 I wasn‘t sure too but I won‘t be and have read it‘s ok not to🤷🏼‍♀️😊 (edited) 2y

SamAnne My library hold is coming in. And U just reserved David Copperfield. I‘m so in!! 2y

AmyG I am in! I just started this. It‘s wonderful. 2y

KathyWheeler I didn‘t get it for Christmas, but I‘m going to get it. I‘d like to join in. 2y

Hokey Gift to myself! I‘m in! 2y

Kangaj1 I started it in Christmas, but I will join in on the discussion! 2y

Chelsea.Poole Me me me!!! I just started this…trying to read one chapter to get a feel for it and I can‘t stay away! (edited) 2y

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! It‘s a #DemonParty 😈I‘m excited to read along with this wonderful group - im counting on those with a classics background to point out the Copperfield similarities @LeeRHarry @BookBelle84 @SamAnne @AmyG @KathyWheeler @gossamerchild @Hokey @Kangaj1 @Chelsea.Poole Are most of you choosing print or audio?? I treated myself to both but haven‘t decided my best plan of attack. I think I‘ll start print. Can‘t wait for January 1… 2y

BarbaraBB Cool idea. So many Litsy love for this book but I haven‘t got a copy yet. I will tune in on your discussion later! 2y

squirrelbrain Ooh me please! I started the audio a few days ago and should get a digital library copy on 11th Jan. 2y

Cinfhen Great @squirrelbrain 😁if u pick up a copy feel free to jump in @BarbaraBB 🥰 2y

LeeRHarry @Cinfhen I‘ll be sticking to print 😊 2y

KathyWheeler I‘m going to get this in print but may also do part of it as audio. 2y

Chelsea.Poole I‘m currently (slowly) working on print as I have time through the holiday chaos (new visitors arrive tomorrow!) so I‘m not planning to get much done before the new year. I‘m loving the print! I‘m also on hold for audio which will probably help me keep up when it becomes available. 2y

AmyG I am reading this…in print. 2y

BookBelle84 I'm reading in print too 2y

Cinfhen @Megabooks did you read or do audio for this one?!? 2y
