I'm not sure I like where this series is headed. I want to like my main characters, and I want to know that once I've invested time and emotion in them that I won't be left frustrated. I'm not sure that's the case here. But I'll keep reading. 2 to go. #35-2023

Book #35
4/5
As a bluenoser, this one's close to home, literally. They could never make a movie based on the NS massacres of April 2020, because the sheer volume of people involved, and the complexity of the situation, complete with unbelievable lies and cover-ups. Palango's comprehensive research and writing on the subject are both very informative and eye-opening.

The prologue tried to set up the book, but it was unnecessary and ridiculous to be honest. This one tried too hard. I enjoyed The Runaway Groomsman so I figured this was a shoe in for a good chick flick book, but it fell flat for me. There are a few very steamy, almost uncomfortable sex scenes. Book #35 in 2023

Birthday | Csar Aira
post image
Pickpick

Aira's novella, a meditation on his 50th birthday, was pub. by the indispensable New Directions 3 years ago. Birthday begins with Aira musing on his birthday & somewhat humorously admitting his ignorance over an astronomical fact. In short chapters he writes of strangers, the reading life, literature, the law of diminishing returns, modern politics & more. Aira's discursive style is intriguing & imbued with a sense of humility & slight zany humor

vivastory which called to mind the short stories of fellow Latin American author Felisberto Hernandez. The recent Mookse and the Gripes episode (#35) is an Aira spotlight episode & although I have yet to listen to the entire episode, I have enjoyed what I have heard. As my birthday is tomorrow, I figured I'd include a copy of the book in my bday w/ a glass of red wine selfie. 2y

Okay, I‘m selling everything and moving to Tuscany. I devoured this one, in only 2 days. My heart aches for Lilian and Anton, I can‘t imagine that kind of tragedy and that kind of sacrifice. I love Fiona‘s choices and the heart she has for herself and others. What a mesmerizing story. Book #35 in 2022
