Welcome to Litsy!

This is nice collection of Moraccan short stories. As the title already gives away, it concentrates mostly on funny stories of kif-smoking Maroccans. The culture of smoking is explained in the foreword. I did not expect some of the stories to be this saucy since Marocco is an Islamic country.

I went through my book shelves and came across this collection of Maroccan stories. Must have gotten it from a little free library and completely forgot about it. 🙈

3✨ Is it me or are horse and boy stories very similar? Sham the horse and Agba are pretty much attached at the hip. They go through many rich hands, and it goes through the life story of Sham with his boy. It ends really sadly. The illustrations are very beautiful. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

This book is wonderfully written. While the plot is predictable, it is the themes and history that is more important. The descriptions of the rural and city landscapes, food, culture, heritage and folklore transport you right into Morocco during the time they are fighting for their independence from the French. A great introduction (fictionally) to the fight for Moroccan independence. Jane Johnson is quickly becoming one of my top authors.

Kicking off the week at the cottage with the remainder of this book. I'm quite enjoying it so far and it has me craving Moroccan food! There is nothing I love better than reading with a lake view.

Long weekend reading in the backyard. I don't think I've ever read a book set in Morocco so I'm excited to learn a bit about the countries landscapes and culture. I just hope I have time to finish the book as it needs to go back to the library soon.

At my husband‘s suggestion after talking about quiet fiction…..I‘m going to start this one.

It‘s a crying shame lilacs wilt so quickly after cutting because the fragrance is divine.

Scores from the Little Free Library on Tuesday. Do yourself a favour and check out the tagged author‘s kid‘s books. She is incredibly talented.

#readingbracket2023 #2023readingbracket I cannot believe how close we are to making our top 2023 picks 🤯😱 Last month (Oct) I couldn‘t decide between “The Last Devil to Die” by Richard Osman or “The Lady from Burma” by Allison Montclair, but I ultimately decided on Osman‘s book. It‘s the last one (for a little while) so it only seemed fitting. This month (Nov) it had to go to the tagged book, it was so much fun getting swept away in Sira‘s story
