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

Top Ten Books on my Fall 2013 TBR List


I love this week's topic at Top Ten Tuesday. I used to make TBR lists quite often in the past but I stopped doing it because I don't really seem to get through my lists. But that doesn't take the fun out of the actual list making process.

The Fall releases...



There are so many of these books I'm excited about for so many reasons! I'm totally digging the Unwind trilogy by Neal Shusterman, and UnSouled is going to the final book in that series. I can't wait to see how he plans to wrap it all up. I'm also glad that the wait time to UnSouled is much less compared to how long we had to wait between the 1st and 2nd books.

Did you hear that Bridget Jones is making a comeback this Fall? She is probably the first light women fiction book heroine I met, so I'm looking forward to reading Mad About the Boy. And then Rachel Joyce's Perfect. After loving The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, I cannot wait to read this one.


And The rest...



Some of these books have been on my I-will-read-this-year list since January. I know many of you have loved The Wednesday Sisters, plus I loved Clayton's The Four Ms. Bradwells. I really want to read Band of Brothers, but part of me is worried that it will fade in comparison to the miniseries, which I plan to rewatch after reading this book.

As for MetaMaus, I loved Maus and still plan on rereading it some time, but I want to dig into MetaMaus first. Having just started watching The Walking Dead a few months ago, I'm looking forward to reading that book as well. The show is one of the best I've watched so far, so I expect the books will be too.
