Caroline2 Arghhh!!! 😖 7y

KaatjeH O no!!!😱 7y

TK421 That is so frustrating!😬 7y

JazzFeathers It's so annoying, because if it weren't for that big reap (which looks new, is if it was made at the moment go ship the book out) this would be a really nice copy 😤 7y

bailed

I am glad my #WinteringBuddyRead friends enjoyed this one, but it wasn't for me. I found the prose and characterization subpar, the 'mystery' uninteresting, and the father-son voyageuring adventure mind-numbing. Bailed a third of the way in.

batsy I'm praying to the book goddesses for The Lost Garden buddy read 😂😂 7y

Cinfhen 🤣😂😂 @batsy 7y

TrishB I wondered how it was going 😀 7y

My_novel_obsession I haven‘t even started yet! I was hoping to do that this weekend! I‘m excited to read it and see both perspectives. 7y

Tamra Oh too bad!! 7y

Tamra @batsy 🤣 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Bummer. I was looking forward to this one. There‘s a fine line between wonderful, introspective prose and head-slamming boring. 7y

JazzFeathers I'm so sorry to hear this 😑 My copy hasn't arrived yet, so l haven't even start 7y

LeahBergen @batsy 😂😂 Shall we let him have a head start? 7y

batsy @LeahBergen 😀😀 7y

shawnmooney @batsy @Cinfhen @TrishB @Anovelobsession @Tamra @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @JazzFeathers @LeahBergen 😂😂 Never mind my propensity to bail, I really should avoid buddy reads for the reason that I seem constitutionally incapable of reading a single novel devotedly the way most of you do, thus my buddy readers finish weeks before I do. Henceforth, my participation shall be termed 'buddy reading adjacent.' 😂😂 7y

Cinfhen Hilarious ???at least you recognize your "limitations" xx 7y

TrishB I only read one book at a time and usually very quickly so I feel my buddy reads are over way too quick 😂 7y

TrishB @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Be interested to see what you think - I didn't find it boring 😀 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @TrishB I‘ll give it a try! 👍 7y

Tamra @shawnmooney 🤣 It's all good! 7y

Tamra @TrishB me too! 7y

Labs to MN are what koalas are to Australia. 😆 I finished this a couple of days ago and have been pondering. It's a 👍🏾, because the storyline propels the reader forward in a way unlike the previous two and I enjoyed the complicated relationships. His writing reminds me of Jim Harrison, who in the past I read a lot of. Something about the character types, place & time development. #winteringbuddyread

Tamra I wish I could be a Geye virgin and read all 3 novels without interruption in order. I think it would be a rich experience. I'm pondering the end & would like to know the reading buddies thoughts when everyone is finished. (edited) 7y

merelybookish This is part of a series yes? I downloaded on audio and then saw it was book 2 or 3. Then I wondered I should read in order... 7y

Tamra @merelybookish yes, but it's not necessary they do stand alone. Significant time passes and the characters vary. (edited) 7y

Suet624 I just saw your note about the end of the book. I had issues with the end and was confused. But I liked the book overall. 7y

Tamra @Suet624 yes, the end was a bit unsatisfying. 7y

Imagine there is snow and frozen rivers in this photo. Imagine you're lost in the middle of nowhere in the winter with your dad and his secrets. And that's just part of what this book is about. The author nudges you along, sometimes gently and other times vigorously, making it difficult to put the book down. A good read.

LeahBergen Nice review! 👍🏻 7y

Suet624 @batsy It doesn't compare to Lonesome Dove. Read that one first. 😁😁 7y

Suet624 @LeahBergen @Rachellynnwright @HookedonBooks Thanks! 7y

batsy @Suet624 Oh yeah yeah I will... For sure... At some point. Mmhmm. Definitely going to get to those 800+ pages one day 😁 7y

TrishB Yep - great review. There is no way I wanted to be out there with them though! 7y

Suet624 @TrishB nope. Me either! 7y

I redacted the character's name just in case any of my #WinteringBuddyRead buddy readers haven't gotten this far, but I suspect you're all way, way ahead of me!

"Get married and have kids, bud, you'll think surviving winter in a wigwam's not only possible but a dream come true."

I bet a few of you can relate to this. #WinteringBuddyRead. @saresmoore

Some North Woods seasoning on my eggs this morning is apropos for my book companion. 😋 The plot twist and suspense kept me up reading last night after I should have sleeping and I'm going to pay for it this afternoon! #winteringbuddyread

TrishB Exciting 👍 7y

LauraBrook Oooh, will have to get a small jar of this next time I'm at the warehouse! 7y

Tamra @LauraBrook isn't Penzy's fabulous?! 7y

LauraBrook @Tamra It is! Do you have a favorite/s? 7y

Suet624 Yes! The author entices you to keep reading. 7y

Tamra @LauraBrook yes, I especially like their fajita blend & smoked paprika! Their chipotle is good too. You? 7y

LauraBrook @Tamra Hmmm. I like their Chili 3000, original taco, and cinnamon sugar. And their red pepper flakes. And dill. 😊 7y

Tamra @LauraBrook so much to love! 7y

Thanks @shawnmooney for bringing this book to my attention - as I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise.
Loved the story and parallel nature background. Some wonderful prose and questions about life, love and family.
But there is no way I'm ever going camping out there.
Looking forward to following everyone's posts.

There are tie-ins to previous novels, like this passage, but this novel and the others can stand alone. I'm enjoying how the characters & relationships are complicated. Geye also does a good job of building suspense with bits of foreshadowing here & there. (Maybe too many?) #winteringbuddyread

TrishB I've finished and really enjoyed it 👍 I won't put any spoliers in a review and will carry on reading the posts! 7y

Tamra @TrishB I'm afraid it won't last long for me either! 😆 7y

Tamra @TrishB perfect! I just about made it one, but then mommyhood makes that difficult. 😉 7y

TrishB Mine are older and have been doing homework essays! 7y

Tamra @TrishB lucky you! 7y

lauralovesbooks1 Argh! I didn't know there were ties to other books he had written. More for my TBR! 7y

Suet624 I didn't know there were tie-ins either! 7y
