pickWhat a Story!
Mexico by James Michener is an absolute masterpiece. This author is so talented—he has a rare gift for blending historical fact with rich, compelling fiction. The story gave me a completely new perspective on Mexico, its people, and its history. While some of the bullfighting scenes were brutal, they were also exciting, vivid, and deeply enlightening. Michener‘s ability to bring a culture to life on the page is unmatched
I believe this is my first James Michener novel, so let‘s see what all the hub-bub is about!
🫐 Probably the tagged and a few other Michener‘s sitting on my shelf
🍑 Saving it for later 😂

Everyone come play along!
I feel like I‘m back in Mexico. The building, decor, soccer in Spanish on all the TVs. It‘s brilliant.
This is my next travel spot from November 24th thru December 1. We will be meeting special friends from Prince Edward Island that we met in Jamaica. I like the fact that they supply sun screen and sun hat in your room. That‘s nice because you don‘t have to pack those items. They also have a handbag bar where you can borrow handbags to use. Less packing there too. More room for books! lol
Day 24 - #Mexico #LetsTravelJuly
As I was heading through #Mexico for #AugustIsATrip thought it would be a good time to take in some of the history with Michener‘s saga, and to think back to the second Bosch book in which Mexico figures significantly. Bosch heads to Mexico, what could be better!
As it happens these book covers also fit perfectly for #ReadingResolutions #Green
Yay for book mail! Boo for no time to read these right now. Onto the endless TBR stack they go.
bailedI'm not usually the kind of person who bails on books, but I'm moving into my second 55 hour work week and I just don't have the patience to give this book the try it deserves. I just want something effortlessly good. 😫
I'm honestly having a really anxious and sad day. I'm trying to lose my emotions in this novel but I can't seem to really get into and I'm just all panicky and irrational. Sorry litsy, I try not to rant on social media but I feel safe here and just need to vent.
#orangeyouglad @Liberty thanks for the chance to win! You are awesome!!
Back from a week in Mexico, where I got a lot of reading done. As promised, I stuck to 'airport' novels for the entire trip -- a decision I started to regret around day three. But I stuck to my guns and got through four books ranging from "not bad" to "how did this get published?" (reviews to follow). Needless to say, I'm eager to start something a little more challenging now.
so-soCheated and see I have 100 pages left. I think this book is choppy compared to others I have read. Loved Espana and Hawaii.
