Are you in cedar rapids? The only one available was the book club kit and it has 6 copies plus 4 large print and I just placed a hold on it! Whoever needs one in CR let me know
Well, I placed the hold while it was listed as "on the shelf," but someone must have grabbed it before it was set aside because now it says I'm #2 in line. Not in time to read for this! Sorry!
This is a brilliant idea! I probably won't be able to participate but I am thrilled and happy for those who can and do. Thank you, Lyz! I so appreciate the ways in which you are visibly working to make your communities better. Including this one, but also and especially Iowa because, well, Iowa!
I am currently in 3 or 4 online book clubs/reading groups (and was also in a "live" one that hasn't met since the pandemic began :( )... I probably need another one like a hole in the head (lol) but this is irresistible. :) Besides, "The Farm" has been in my TBR pile since it came out (I have an e-copy). Now to get it read in between my other book club obligations and the other books I have on the go...! Looking forward to the discussion!
Sounds good. For future consideration, I'd definitely recommend Diana Goetsch's "This Body I Wore." Very interesting, very well-written. Goetsch was recently in Iowa engaging with libraries and doing the banned books circuit, in troubled places like Pella, engaging face-to-face.
Spine chilling anxiety inducing page turner. Started yesterday finished now 3 am. This is why I’m not allowed to have new books. Will keep another few days and release back to St. Louis county library in case anyone needs it. Thanks for the insomnia, from the lead based new Madrid fault capital of Missouri.
no worries. i have so many books on my tbr list that i probably wouldn't have been able to get to it anyway. we'll need more of a heads up so that we can get books in time if we try to do this again.
The Farm is on backorder now on Bookshop.org but Thriftbooks.com still has some copies if anyone wants to avoid ordering from A. :-)
I just ordered a copy from Thriftbooks when I saw that! Hopefully it will arrive soon!!!
I ordered from them too--they are usually good on shipping promptly.
Oh good! Thank you for all of this. I usually link to Bookshop so as not to link to the other place. I'll switch out the link!
have it on request at the library. fingers crossed that i get it on time. if not, i can always join the discussion later.

Yesssssss! I need motivation to pick up a book a little more often, and my phone a little less. Super excited about this, ordering now!
Oh hey fellow Montessori mom! Zero percent shocked to see you here
Hi! 🤟 I❤️MYAM... And books. Are you going to read it?
I've read it. It's a journey. I'm going to audiobook it this time. It's on Libby.
Have to be honest, I didn't realize exactly what I was diving into. But there's no turning back!
It's a journey of a book. I'm excited to unpack with people
This is fantastic! So, for the first discussion question on Sept. 7, have the book finished?
Great question. Just the first 50-75 pages!! We will go through slowly!!
OMG I opened this newsletter so fast! I can't wait to read this book together!
Same!
Saaaaaame
