Y'all. I did not technically (or even not technically) need three more hardcovers, but it was really fun to open my first #AardvarkBookClub box today! And I comfort myself by telling myself that, if I read very carefully and don't use a slice of bacon as a bookmark (which I totally don't need to do because I have the #aardvark bookmarks), I can always gift these later.
pickFerrada, who also writes children‘s books, had a great grasp on the child narrator of this novel but also brought in some more adult themes. I‘m really pleased that #aardvark chose some literature in translation in January!
Miguel‘s uncle Ramón has never fit in. He buries his issues in alcohol. When he gets a job taking care of the billboard above his town, he makes a nest in it and moves there. But his problems from the housing complex follow.
pickI have to admit I wasn‘t super excited about this #aardvark pick but folks I was WRONG. I really enjoyed this debut thriller and would definitely like another book with Rita solving the crime.
So this is what I‘m thinking for print books for the rest of the month. 🤔🤔 I‘ve almost finished My Volcano, but I really don‘t know where I should head tomorrow…
Also under consideration, but not pictured, are Factory Girls from #aardvark and Seven Moons from the #tob shortlist. Thoughts??
pickI loved this. Don't be fooled by the cheesy cover. 1990s Northern Ireland is the setting. 3 girls are waiting for their end of school test results and end up working in a shirt factory. It's very funny and it definitely does a great job of setting the scene. Definitely recommend.

I'm digging the cover of this month's #aardvarkbookclub choice. I switched from #botm to #aardvark for a few months. Definitely something for which I #blameitonlitsy 🤣🤣
