pick#FeelinTheLove Day 6: Set in Lima, Peru, the author introduces us to young Marito who fell in love with an older woman, a 30-something divorceé, who found Marito‘s teenybopper infatuation amusing until she herself became enamoured by the innocent and untoward and forbidden romance of it all. #SteamyLove with the Mrs Robinson vibe.

pickBook #17 of 2024: “Plotting Women” by Jean Franco
This was a challenge. I lack a lot of the background needed to understand many of the references made to other texts and authors, but the topic (women who, in their own ways, subverted gender norms/expectations in Mexican culture) was engrossing. I wouldn‘t recommend this book unless this has been a field of study for you already. It‘s dense.
pickOne of Neruda‘s later works.
I really appreciate Neruda‘s observations on life and humanity. But his poetry on love is really where he truly shines for me. #TheSealeyChallenge 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

How about foodie #Intimacy for today‘s prompt?! This book is “Intimate Writings on Love, Life, Food, and Flavor” ❤️🔥
so-soFirst read of 2024 is in the books ?
This was no *Like Water For Chocolate* that's for sure. But the story of Júbilo and Lucha and their daughter Lluvia was sweet. The bits of history of the telegraph were interesting. However, the extraneous, not quite, mystical elements were nothing but distracting.
