Infinite Country by Patricia Engel | Thoughts

   Published : 2021   ||    Format : print   ||    Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆   What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings. A nation at war with itself, yet people still spoke of it as some kind of paradise.. Thoughts : Infinite Country follows two characters - young Talia, who at the beginning of this book, escapes a girl’s reform school in North Colombia so that she can make her previously booked flight to the US. Before she can do that, she needs to travel many miles to reach her father and get her ticket to the rest of her family. As we follow Talia’s treacherous journey south, we learn about how she ended up in the reform school in the first place and why half her family resides in the US. Infinite Country tells the story of her family through the other protagonist, El

Not exactly a Dog Days kind of weekend but...




The Dog Days of Summer Readathon started just about 2 hours ago. I haven't yet opened a book plus I do have to run some errands during the day and spend a few hours on office work tomorrow. But I'm hoping to spend most of the rest of the time on interior decorating and reading some books. It's been an insanely long time since I did any readathon so it definitely feels exciting to do some mass reading.

I don't expect to get through too many books, and I didn't really make any stack yet, but off the top of my head, these are the three books I've been thinking about lately:


The first would be a reread, the second is a new-to-me-title that is yelling quirky at me and the third is half-read at this point and intriguing thus far.

I've been seeing Forgive Me around the blogosphere lately and I'm very curious about it. Can't wait to hear what you think. Happy readathoning!
Aw, I love to see Harry Potter books on these lists. I really want to go back and do a re-read soon. Hope you have a great weekend!

I've not done loads of reading yet either, but this readathon is very low pressure, so it's all cool.
Harry Potter is perfect for a readathon, so quick and engaging.

I always think I'm going to clear the decks for readathons but there are just always things that have to get done, aren't there? Enjoy the time you find for reading!

My readathon was very similar to that - but I did get some good reading done so that's good!
