The Midnight Palace | Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Pickpick

This is one of CRZ's lesser-known books, a YA novel about a group of teenagers about to age out of their orphanage. Set in Calcutta in the 1930s, Ben & Sheere are fighting against an evil that has waited sixteen years to exact on their family. I like that their friends have distinct personalities, but the story isn't bogged down with more info than we need for an effective story.. This had a little less of the beautiful prose I expect from CRZ, ⬇️

Cinfhen Yay! Lots of challenges 🤩 3y
Soubhiville Sounds really interesting. 3y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Great pick! And all those prompts! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 3y

November is drawing to a close #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂

Please comment below with the number of books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon you read. Or if you prefer to post a collage of your reading, just use the hashtag #AAMCRZ and be sure to tag me so I see it.
⬇️⬇️

Soubhiville #AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge in which we read books by a voted on author each month. Read as many or as few as you like. At the end of the year there is a prize box for “Most Read.”

There will also be randomly drawn prizes- everyone who has read at least one Author a Month book and is still active on Litsy is entered into those random drawings.
As always, just let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag lists. ❤️📚

Larkken @Julsmarshall lol. Not huge on real female characters, no. Pretty annoying, I agree 3y

La Ciudad de Vapor | Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Carlos Ruiz
post image

A posthumous story collection. Zafon conceived this work as a recognition of his readers who had followed him along the saga begun with The Shadow of the Wind.
The echo of the great characters and motives of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books novels resonates in theses stories by Carlos Ruiz Zafón –gathered together for the first time, and some of them unpublished so far– turning on the magic of the narrator who made us dream like nobody else.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I love that it releases during Zafon's month for #authoramonth #AAMCRZ @Soubhiville 4y
Soubhiville Oh hey, that‘s cool! Perfect timing! 4y
