Started on the tagged book today and went to our favorite Irish pub. We had Irish whiskey, Irish beer, bangers and mash, and shepherd's pie.

This memoir was about a Latina who climbed Mount Everest. It was filled with memories of growing up in Peru and in the United States, as well as her experience climbing up the mountain. It was very detailed and heartbreaking at times. However, I did feel that this could have been shortened. There were details that I did not need to know about. *trigger warning for child sexual assault

The Black Tulip | Alexandre Dumas Pere

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. I had no idea that tulips were a big deal in the Netherlands. I was amazed at the obsession of the main character. It was a good story, but it did lose me at parts. 3.5 ⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Several years ago I read a nonfiction book about the tulip craze, and it was so interesting!! (Although pretty much devoid of pictures, which would have added soooo much.) What blew my mind was how much money they were paying for bulbs with no real guarantee as to what that tulip was actually going to look like! 2mo
vonnie862 @TheAromaofBooks It's so crazy to me! 2mo
Texreader What a great choice to read for #Netherlands! I ♥️ The Count of Monte Cristo. Trying to decide whether to read this one. 2mo
vonnie862 @Texreader it's a quick read so I would try it. 2mo

@Catsandbooks and I are back! Taking nominations for countries for #foodandlit2025! It will be our fifth year hosting the challenge and we‘re very excited about it! @TheBookHippie previously posted all the countries from the last four years and I‘ll repost it so we can avoid duplicates. A reminder: we try to read a book about, set in, or by an author from the country and eat food indigenous to that month‘s country. Nominations open through Nov. 15
