2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Overgrowth by Mira Grant.

Pages: 480 pages

Length: 1 month (July)

Participants: Jill, Cordelia

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?

I’m really eager to start reading this one. I’ve read Mira Grant’s Newsflesh series and the Parasite trilogy and loved them both, as well as several Seanan McGuire works. (Mira Grant is a pseudonym McGuire uses for her more horror-based works.)

I'm starting this today.

Finished this. It was very good, but what a disturbing read. Still sitting in the front of my mind.

How are you going with it, Jill?
