SarahKat | 5928 comments This thread is to discuss There There by Tommy Orange.

Pages: 294 pages

Length: 1 month (May)

Participants: Alina, LinaVer, Lorraine

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Here are some questions to help get the conversation started! Feel free to look up discussion questions specific to this book or come up with your own. Just make sure any questions that contain spoilers are under spoiler tags.
Discussion questions are not required but may be a fun way to talk about the book and get to know each other!

Prior to starting:
What prompted you to join this buddy read?
Have you read this author before? What do you think of their other books?

Mid-read:
What character or ideas do you relate to the most and why?
Do you have any favorite quotes or scenes?

After reading:
What was enjoyable or not-so-enjoyable about this book?
Did this book change your perception about anything, either within the book (character development) or in real life?

Alina | 228 comments Hey all!
I am excited for this Buddy read!
I read the Prequel/Sequel book Wandering Stars Last year as a Twin Read and it was so great to Chat about it as me and my Reading Twin learned so much about native American History. Also it was really interesting to share what we already knew as my Twin was from america and I am from germany - so our knowledge going into this was a little different based on what we got teached in school and other things.
Where are you all from?

I think I get to this book in the middle of May or maybe at the end - Not Sure yet!


Denise | 372 comments I read this book last year and to me it was one of the best written books I've ever read. Just finished Wandering Stars and though it was good, There There was so much better IMO. Enjoy!

This makes me even more excited as I think Wandering Stars was great on it´s own. Can´t wait to get to the OG story.


Lorraine | 2122 comments I'll start this weekend. It is my first book by this author. A friend of mine strongly recommended it.

LinaVer | 318 comments Hey everyone. :) I will start it also a bit later in the month. But I am quite excited about it, especially reading that some of you have found it well written.
Oh, and I am from Lithuania originally, now in the Netherlands. I do not know that much about American history, as the focus in our school was more on Baltic/Lithuanian and world history in general.
