Thanks for the recommendation. I have this book on my TBR list, will pick it up for this prompt

Kristi (kristitamara) | 4 comments Started reading the Bollywood series by Sonali Dev
Book 2 has a wedding, Book3 meets this prompt!


message 53: by Rob (new)

Rob | 16 comments I am also going to read On the Rooftop, mentioned earlier.

I recommend Sea of Tranquility, particularly for folks who enjoyed Emily St. John Mandel's The Glass Hotel. The audiobook has four different narrators, one for each of the four POV characters.


message 54: by Tanya (new)

Tanya (taztamaranth) | 76 comments I read Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez -- it took me several tries (I started in December but restarted in January!) to get through the first section, but after that I found it fascinating, if slow at times. Sort of horror, sort of literary... multiple POVs

Porsha (porshabishop) | 1 comments I am accidentally reading this prompt. The Family Remains by Lisa Jewel works for this. I read The Family Upstairs for over 40 chapters and then had to read the second book.

Agne (agnela) | 25 comments I read Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka in Lithuanian.


message 59: by Janet (new)

Janet Berkman (jannie_b) | 15 comments I read The Echo of Old Books for this one. It's a little convoluted with too many plot threads, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.

message 66: by AngieA (new)

AngieA Allen (angelwings55) | 48 comments For prompt 7: 4 different POV, I read "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles. I thought it would be difficult to keep them straight, but it was surprisingly easy.

I also read this book but did not use for this POV prompt. I enjoyed it. I used it for prompt 40, "a holiday you don't celebrate" since they have a Hanukkah celebration.

Lucilla | 144 comments I ended up reading Tales of the Celestial Kingdom for this prompt. I was originally going to use it for 'published in 2024', but I have a number of others that will fit that and not as many for this one. The book was really good (as expected), I was so excited to revisit the world of Daughter of the Moon Goddess and this definitely delivered.

Moonkiszt (moonkisztgmailcom) | 62 comments Jess Walter For this prompt, I read The Cold Millions The Cold Millions by Jess Walter by Jess Walter.

A great read about IWW days in Spokane, WA, and making it through the battles of worker's rights - giving us children labor laws, 8 hour days, weekends, paid holidays, and safe working environments.

Annabel (aw_bookish) | 1 comments Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell

I've just finished this and it was a nice surprise that it works well for this prompt.

*potential spoilers below*
POVs counted were Laurel, Ellie, Noelle, and Floyd
It also works for these other prompts:
3. more than 40 chapters
14. a grieving character
24. a cover without people on it


message 81: by Jolien (new)

Jolien (joliendekoninck) | 71 comments Just finished reading Rogue One. A Star Wars Story. This is the novelization of the movie. Loved the book! It's set at the beginning of the conflict between Empire and Rebel Alliance and tells the story of Jyn Erso's attempt to steal the Death Star's schematics indicating a flaw in the weapon of mass destruction which may render it useless and bring the Empire's atrocities to an end. The book has a constant POV switch, which isn't annoying at all. On the contrary, it makes you get to know the characters and live the war through them: from Erso's own perspective, Cassian Andor's, Darth Vader's, Tarkin's, Bodhi's, Krennic's, Baze's, Chirrut's, Mothma's, and other characters. The Death Star is used twice in the book and in both scenes, the dying moments of its victims were told from their perspectives, short passages of sometimes anonymous characters. Very gripping story, moved me to tears at some passages.

message 85: by Michele (new)

Michele Olson | 528 comments I just finished Written in Red by Anne Bishop, and I LOVED this book! Lots of humor, and suspense, and the villain gets it in the end.
It MIGHT be considered to feature indigenous culture, because the Others in the book (shifters, elementals, etc.) were referred to as terra indigene (earth natives).


message 86: by Zoë (new)

Zoë (escapinginpaper) | 59 comments I read Arch-Conspirator by Veronica Roth, an intriguing retelling of Antigone. You get at least one POV from almost every character involved, very interesting I thought.


message 88: by Casey (new)

Casey (regimebird) | 27 comments I continued reading the series and read Sun Warrior (the second in the series). The first book in the series, Moon Chosen, would also count.

I was thinking about Vengence for this one! :)
