It‘s Friday! I‘m putting my non-fiction away and jumping in to some mysteries. I also want to read something for this month‘s #BookedInTime @Cuilin

bailedTried to read this for #BookedinTime, but I have to throw in the towel. The narrative is plodding and pedantic and the dialogue comes across as lectures by the characters. Life is too short —moving on.
pickI did enjoy this book and enjoyed learning about the Spanish Civil War and Children of Morelia - but I did find the book never fully drew me in. I do wonder, when English isn't the first language of a book, if reading it in it's original language would have a bigger impact. The book cover also bothers me a bit because it's a book about three siblings finding their way. I still enjoyed the read and my heart breaks for all who lived through this!
Trying to get a bit of outdoor reading time in before it starts to rain. I know little about the Spanish Civil War and the Children of Morelia. I expect this will be a hard read but I'm looling forward to learning about this part of history.

For May‘s #FictionalTraveler #SpanishSpeaking prompt, I will be traveling to Ecuador. Where will everyone else be traveling? Have you ever been to that location in real life? I have never been to Ecuador. 🇪🇨

There‘s so many I want to read!!! How about you?
I was reading this for #BookedInTime when the details started to seem familiar. Checked LibraryThing and turns out I had read it in 2014. According to my review I was just meh on it then too so I‘m moving on.

The bad news is I'm still looking for a job. The good news is I love my current job, and I'm still able to listen to books while I work. These are mostly four-star reads that I've read in April.
I chose a reread of one of my favorite High School required reading novels for #BookedInTime :China
