My lunch breaks have been pretty busy recently, and I probably went about 2 weeks without reading at home, so I'm pretty happy with what I still got in last month. Lots of graphic novels during down time at work 😁

pickI read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, so it is sometimes jarring to read a book that is so incredibly real and human. Senhor Jose works at the Central Registry, which records citizens birth and death. His side hobby is collecting records of famous people, but one day he finds the record of "an unknown woman" stuck to the back of a famous person's file. And so begins his quest to learn about her and break the mundanity of his bureaucratic existence.
#DaysDevotedTo Day 7: there are soul-stirring real-life #FamilyStories in this journalistic memoir of sorts by Portuguese author Susana Moreira Marques. This book will stay with me for awhile. Review is forthcoming.
#DaysDevotedTo Day 2: #AllSouls with Pessoa. Here is my book haul from Livraria Bertrand in Lisbon, the world‘s oldest operating bookstore in the world, according to the Guinness World Records: https://wp.me/pDlzr-qPD
#DaysDevotedTo Portuguese #Authors while I was in Lisbon a few weeks back - at the ostensibly oldest running bookstore in the world, according to Guinness World Records - Livraria Bertrand founded in 1732.
#WickedWhispers Day 21: #Death - paired with broken cheesecake, lemon daiquiri and espresso martini - all mocktails, and utterly delicious.
#WickedWhispers Day 13: This title sounds particularly #Chilling in a moribund sort of way. Made sure I brought female Portuguese novelists with me as I travel to Lisbon in a few hours‘ time. Made sure I have posts now for the entire duration of my five day travel. 🧳✈️🛫🇵🇹
Heading to Portugal today! Hope to find some bookstores!! I might be able to see the pretty one in Porto towards the end of the trip. Enjoying extra reading time today while flying. ✈️ 📚 🇵🇹
