pickIt is finally done! I really hunkered down the last couple days to finish this one before it‘s publishing date. Wow. What an incredible book that has so much research to back it up. Arana speaks about the three different themes that have dominated Latin America over the last centuries - Silver (greed for natural resources), Sword (brutality) and Stone (religion) - and she did such a great job going into detail about those. I highly recommend this!
#MightyMolly was adopted today! I‘m sad to see her go but so excited that she found her forever home and people. I hope she settles in quickly. I‘m sure she‘s wondering where she‘s going. #adopted #rescueadopt
Due to some financial decisions, I decided to slow way down on buying books this year but the one goal I do have is to fill my Harry Potter shelf up completely. I really want all of them in German and Spanish so that may be the way to go.
It‘s a work in progress but oh how this makes my heart sing. A shelf like this has been a dream for a long time.
Hey everyone! I finally got my new shelves up (minus the top extension) and the gap that was left was bigger than expected (terrible measuring skills obviously). It‘s not too bad when it‘s spaces somewhat evenly but I was wondering if anybody has any other ideas on what to do with all that space (preferably something not super permanent since we want to take the shelves with us in a couple of years).
I have less than two weeks left to finish this #arc for #NetGalley so I‘m trying to really hunker down on it. It is very interesting and I love talking about it with my Hispanic fiancé but it‘s also very long and dry in many spots so it‘s taking me much longer than other books to get through. But so far I have always managed to finish arcs before their publishing dates and I‘m hoping not to break that habit.
It‘s finally time to get up and take care of the animals before work but I‘m happy I got some time in with this book. I‘m not planning on finishing it during this #24in48 #readathon but I am using it as motivation to get halfway done with it. It‘s a pretty dry - though interesting - #arc from #netgalley that I want to finish soon, but this weekend I also want some less serious reads.
