dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I couldn't do it. Too heartbreaking. 3h
eeclayton I loved that Ruthie wasn't scolded too harshly. In stressful situations, adults sometimes forget that kids are just kids, and it's nice that the mother here didn't. 2h

East of Eden | J. Steinbeck

Pickpick

After a lot of tough books, I was encouraged to read this, and spend time in Salinas Valley, and fall in love with Sam Hamilton and Lee. I think I was supposed to worry about the two Cain and Abel stories, and sociopath Cathy Ames, but I was more interested in other things. Soul refreshing book with broad appeal. Fun and serious and so readable. Recommended

Tamra A favorite! I prefer it to Grapes of Wrath. Lee is fantastic. (edited) 2d
Graywacke @Tamra i haven‘t read The Grapes of Wrath 🙈 2d
Tamra @Graywacke I was going to say, “All in good time”, but on second thought we‘ll never have time to read everything. 😏 2d

Graywacke @Tamra i‘m on both those mental tracks simultaneously 2d
SamAnne I‘m currently reading. I‘m a fan of Steinbeck but weirdly never read this one! I suspect it will be one of my faves. 11h
Graywacke @SamAnne ❤️ Where are you at? This is my 3rd Steinbeck, but my first of his classics. The others were more obscure (To a God Unknown, which I loved, and his 1st novel, which i hated 😁) 10h
SamAnne About a 100 pages in. I put it aside to do the #hashtagbrigade chapter a day read of Grapes of Wrath. A reread for me. One of my favorites of his is The Log of the Sea of Cortez, documenting his trip down the coast to Baja and around to the Sea of Cortez with his friend Ed Rickets in the early 40s. A great short memoir, esp, if have been to Baja, one of my favorite places. 9h
Graywacke @SamAnne im trying to guess. Is Adam still in Connecticut? And, i have not been to Baja. The book still sounds amazing. 8h

Crinoline_Laphroaig I finished yesterday. Didn't want to be reading something so sad over Thanksgiving. But I'm still following along with posts. Also can't wait to hear everyone thoughts on Ending. 4d

ElizaMarie Ugh! This chapter was rough! 3d

KAO I‘m kind of on edge—waiting for the next tragedy—but briefly relieved when we make it to the next day. 5d
Bklover I‘m with you, Kathy! Phew! @KAO 5d
ElizaMarie Its so sad they were willing to sell out their kind of people for $. Totally makes sense that people act in desperation when they are hungry. It's so heart breaking though. But I'm glad the dance went odd without a hitch. 3d

Hey #hashtagbrigade it's time to talk about next month's blissfully short book! If you are joining let her know ! Anyone can join, just be aware that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don't read the post each day until you've read the chapter! We read a chapter a day!

eeclayton I'm completely caught up now. Having read about 6 chapters over the weekend, I agree with those who say that it's healthier to read only one chapter a day, even though the writing is beautiful. 5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @eeclayton it's so depressing. 5d

Bookwormjillk Finally a glimpse of hope 6d
BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk I love the hope—it‘s a beautiful respite from the relentless sadness so far. But it also feels too good to be true! I don‘t trust it yet! 6d
