November's #LiteraryCrew selection is a tad different than previous reads, so it adds a change of pace to our #BuddyRead. Discussion on November 30th.
Read at your own pace. I'll post periodic check-ins throughout the month (unless the month really slips by me).
All are welcome to join us! Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the tag list.

Life with Picasso | Fran�oise Gilot, Carlton Lake

A little behind thanks to so much baseball 💔 so Sunday morning is for reading up for #sundaybuddyread with my coffee in a cup from Nice where I went to museums full of Picassos and my reading chair TBR is updated to include #finishwhatyoustarted #allergictochunksters #nonfictionnovember #literarycrew and my latest mini Lego set

Aims42 Ugh, what a heartbreaker of an ending 😢 2w

Cathythoughts Great pic. Enjoy your coffee x 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading Far From The Tree this month too! It is a commitment. 2w

mcctrish @ChaoticMissAdventures I started this so long ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ I stalled out at schizophrenia and truthfully I have always wondered why he didn‘t include a chapter on women considering how some of the world feels about having a girl child 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures @mcctrish I just looked at the chapters yesterday, and was also immediately annoyed that there was a son chapter but nothing that spoke to women. Glad I am not alone there. 2w

TheBookHippie @mcctrish ugh so upset about the baseball. 2w

Aims42 @mcctrish very true! 😢💔 2w

janeycanuck Ugh, that game… right down to the very bitter end! May you be more successful in your quest to finish what you started! 2w

Sace I only just started Orquídea Divina yesterday ?? 2w

julieclair Looking forward to it. Poor Orquidea Divina, which I haven‘t started yet (but really want to read), will have to go to the back of the line. 🙁 2w

The Inheritance of Orqu�dea Divina: A Novel | Zoraida Cordova

pick

Quirky characters, magic, matriarchs, adventure… This book was a lot of fun! It follows the Montoya family as they try to unravel their powerful grandmother‘s dangerous secret to protect their home for future generations to come. Oh and there‘s a river god, a magical rooster, a circus, a living star, and flowers growing out of people. Somehow she makes it all work! 😂 #LiteraryCrew

Sparklemn I didn‘t finish it this month but your review is inspirational! 2w

The Inheritance of Orqu�dea Divina: A Novel | Zoraida Cordova

It‘s time for the #LiteraryCrew discussion! I have 7 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. Feel free to jump in whenever for the discussion!

I will make the official post for November‘s book tomorrow!

Karisa I‘m about 70% of the way and loving it! It‘s so different and the characters are each so quirky, vibrant! I don‘t know why I am taking so long to read this one… But I am enjoying it 😊 2w

BookNAround There is one major plot discrepancy in this book that ruined how I was feeling about the novel as a whole and it is still driving me batty. More in the next comment (hidden by the spoiler tag). 2w

BookNAround How on earth is Lazarus wearing the ring in the picture since Bolivar wears it to control him? As this is the biggest clue to Marimar‘s father and the entire plot hinges on them figuring out who her father is, I am irrationally angry about this problem. 🤬 2w

7. Setting plays an important part in the novel. Though the location of Four Rivers is left purposefully vague within the United States, where do you think it might be? Why? Compare Orquídea‘s experience growing up in Ecuador and her descendants‘ experience visiting decades later. ~from Simon & Schuster Reading Group Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Karisa I pictured it in the Southwest like maybe Arizona. It reminded me of Flagstaff which is beautiful in a tree, forest way that is so surprisingly different than the dry beauty of the desert all around it 2w

6. The climax of the novel pulls all of the characters back to Four Rivers, to the base of Orquídea Divina‘s ceiba tree. Why was this the perfect location for their last stand? What did it mean for the remaining Montoyas to come together once more? ~from Simon & Schuster Reading Group Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Karisa It centered the ending and their power back to home. The portal back felt a bit of a cheat move but it helped move the story along. It also brought it all back to the central character of the family, Orquidea 2w

5. From fathers who are absent or gone too soon to powerful men who face their downfall before Orquídea, discuss the roles of the men in The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina. How do their relationships with our protagonists affect them? ~from Simon & Schuster Reading Group Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Karisa Most of the men are neutral at best. Rey is the most helpful. Mike and the other husbands just seem to be there and serve the purpose of providing babies. Lazarus, the star, unwittingly gives up his power. Enrique is a jerk who gets better. Bolivar is the true power stealing villain. Much of it turns patriarchal norms on upside which made it an interesting read for me. 2w
