Eight books read in July while still making my way through chunksters Kristin Lavransdatter (#KLBR) and Little Dorrit (#whattheDickens). Stats:
1 book finished for last month‘s #foodandlit #Greenland
3 books for #foodandlit #Peru
1 book for #authoramonth (Virginia Wolff)
2 books for #campLitsy, including the tagged book, best book of the year so far
Plans for tonight #FoodAndLit #Peru
panI was hoping to like this more since it's a treasure hunting book but I found myself constantly getting lost with the storyline. So much was happening at once that I did not have enough time to process it. I found myself going back to relisten. I felt like the fast pace would work better as a movie.

pickA great collection of Latin American short stories. Very good ones among them, and little magical realism ?
Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Luis Loayza, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Rodolfo Hinostroza, and Fernando Ampuero are Peruvian writers so I count them for

I visited my parents this weekend and Dad shared some flower seeds with me. They just happened to be the Marvel of #Peru Four O Clocks! How cool is that? #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
pickSoldiers kill Nina‘s father in cold blood, and as a result her brother Miguel joins up with the re-emerging Shining Path and their pastor is thrown in jail for trying to hold the soldiers accountable. Years later, the pastor—out of jail—comes to see Nina, informing her he‘s learned that Miguel is still alive. When the pastor shortly goes missing, she drops everything to find him and Miguel in the deep wilds of Peru. Action-packed, well-written, ⬇️
I knew I had little time left to fit in this movie this month and I did it! A lot rang true about #Peru based on all my readings this month, but needless to say there was also a lot of suspension of belief 😂. All the wee bears were super cute. #fooandlit @Catsandbooks
#FoodAndLit #Peru
I couldn‘t not read Paddington, the most famous bear from Peru, this month. I followed that up with the chapter in the tagged book about the bears in Peru. (A re-read from #Naturalitsy) And for lunch today we went to a Peruvian place near our hiking trail that we‘ve been meaning to try.
I still haven‘t made my Greenland food (planning to this coming week) but we have made food from #Peru for #FoodAndLit tonight!
Shrimp Anticuchos with Chimichurri and Escabeche de Pollo (Peruvian pickled chicken) with sweet potato rounds
