While this book is mostly about drug-running between Morocco and Spain, sometimes it becomes a love story with books

It took me awhile to get through this book. Not because I didn‘t like it, I just couldn‘t get distracted or I‘d get lost. It‘s nothing like the Netflix series, which I love, but it‘s still a great story about drug cartel Queen Teresa Mendoza.

Typical Iowa fall day. Shorts and a fire 😃 I‘m struggling through this book, but I‘m not giving up!!! It‘s not that I don‘t like it, it‘s just really hard to follow!!

Erinreadsthebooks I read that as “shots and a fire” and thought, ‘wow that‘s a big shot glass‘ 😂🙌 4y

I‘m obsessed with Netflix‘s The Queen of the South series. So when I discovered it was based on a book, of course I had to order that!!

Kind of plodding through this one. I'm not sure if the Spanish is too hard or the story just doesn't interest me (but I loved the Telemundo series that was made based on this book.)

Anitareads I loved this series but didn't know they were made based on a book ☺ 5y
Sace @Anitareads I saw the series first. I wish I had a copy of the book that wasn't a tie in. 5y

When it comes to #librosenespanol the biggest mistake I make is reading what I think I should be reading (more challenging, well-known author, classic, not translated from English) instead of what I want to read (not a challenge, children's book, translated from English.) In this case I feel like I *should* be reading La Reina del Sur for the author/challenge, but I'd rather be reading Luna for the cuteness but the Spanish is super easy.

😔 None really. I'm in a slump. I blame Netflix.

AlaMich I have a Netflix suggestion: Godless! It‘s a western and I am resolutely NOT a western girl. However. This show is amazing!! Incredible actors, beautiful cinematography, great story...❤️ 6y
Sace @BookishMarginalia I hope so! It's weird not to have a book that's got my attention. 6y
Sace @Karkar it is! Normally I can stay away. When I'm not on vacay I really tend to prioritize reading and quiet time. Right now I'm like "I've got all day, Netflix won't kill me." Then suddenly it's 8 hours later... 6y
Sace @4thhouseontheleft mainly I'm watching La Reina del Sur. We also watched the first episode of Dark and we liked it. 6y
Sace @AlaMich I think that one caught my eye too. My husband likes westerns. We'll have to check it out. 6y

#greatfirstlines to get you ready for the adventure that is The Queen of the South. This great novel got me back into reading after a long dry spell. I highly recommend this one if you haven't already read it. #booktober

Drugs are bad (so I've been told and heard), but this tale of a young woman who becomes a major drug queen is soooo good, as are all of Perez-Reverte's translated books. #somethingforsept

A gritty, yet beautifully told story about a young Mexican girl's rise as the head of a dangerous drug empire. Have all the episodes of this tivoed. Worried the show won't be as good as the book (per usual!).

MrBook A bit belated, but welcome to @Litsy ! 8y
EKonrad @MrBook Thanks! Trying to build up my profile a little...seems I'm pretty far behind everyone else! 😬 Am loving the community though! 8y
MrBook You're always ahead of somebody 😎👍🏻. I started in June, I think. It'll take time, but it's worth it 😁. 8y
MrBook Sorry, July. They're both in Summer and begin with "J" ? 8y
