Really good books this month!

Favourite is the tagged. I‘m trying to read more LGBTQIA books as well as books by non-cis white male authors.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful debut Canadian novel. Nominated for many awards.

Translated from French and set mainly in Cairo and Montreal, this is an LGBTQ and family saga, told from the point of view of a narrator who‘s relationship to the main character is unknown (you find out about half through but I‘m not spoiling it!).

I loved the translation and had to look up a few English words I didn‘t know and this is my first language! 🙈 😂

BarbaraBB Stacking. Sounds very good. 2w
Kenyazero Sounds like an interesting way to tell the story! 2w
Kitta @BarbaraBB it‘s a strange way to tell a story but I thought it was unique and interesting! I hope you enjoy it! 6d
Kitta @Kenyazero yes! I‘ve never read anything told that way before. I was trying to figure out who was talking about the main character and I was so wrong with my guess! (edited) 6d
Kenyazero @Kitta I love that you got to be surprised on the reveal! 6d

1. No. I used to be really good about doing them as soon as my W-2 arrived. Last year, I didn‘t get around to it until 4/11. This year, I did them Sunday night. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A history of the city of Alexandria, from its conception by Alexander the Great in 331BC to the Arab Spring of the early 2010s. As I have a fondness for ancient history, I found the early chapters most interesting. I felt a bit bogged down with various invasions and a little depressed at the recent “islamification” that has cost the city much of its multiculturalism.

This I definitely a nice introduction to Ancient Egypt, written from an interesting point of view - the one of the population. With general information in boxes and additional pictures it gives the reader a first insight into the culture. This is not a book for a pro though.

Soscha I wish I could have been one though, an Egyptologist pro. Though I‘d probably be more about Sumerians now. Or just the human Homo evolution. Hominins & such. It still fascinates. If I ever win lotto which I won‘t that‘s what I go back to complete a BA & MA, and maybe a plus. 1mo

I like the layout very much, it is interesting and pleasing to the eye. Pictures and background information boxes are added as well.

I bought this series some time ago because someone posted it here on Litsy and I found it intriguing. After being in my Kindle library for over one year now, I finally started it. 🥳🥳🥳
