Repost for @BarbaraJean

Hello, Kindred Spirits! We‘ll begin reading Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving this week. I‘m looking forward to experiencing this book that LMM loved and that she references both in her journals and in the Emily books. Here‘s the schedule—all are welcome! Let me know if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be. #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMAdjacents

TheAromaofBooks I just started this morning, and am feeling very smug about having reading Don Quixote last year and understanding some of the references 😂 4d

Bookzombie I love your graphic! 🦖 3w
Maggie4483 @Bookzombie thank you! I watched the new(ish) Jurassic movie yesterday, and I‘ve been shopping for a birthday present for a T-Rex-loving 4-year-old all day, so I‘m in a Dino state of mind. 🦕 😂 🦖 3w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3w

August has been a challenge. In addition to all the crap going on in the world (and there‘s a LOT), we lost our cat unexpectedly. My reading went out the window for several days.

We also changed our internet and TV provider, which will ultimately be an improvement, but in the meantime I‘ve been spending so much time trying to solve lingering issues that it feels like a part time job.

Anyway, I know I won‘t finish anything else. #wrapup

I wrote a blog post where I shared my thoughts on rating books I‘ve read. I also included a list of some of my all-time favorite books that I give a top rating and hope to reread someday.

There are many themes in this book. Family! Secrets! Family secrets!

The power and magic of art. The ties between Spain and Cuba. War and revolution.

This also points out one of the perils of reading historical fiction: characters unwittingly running headlong into a catastrophe, and there‘s nothing you can do about it.

Part of a series that can all be read as standalones but the different books all inform the others.

I‘m hoping to finish this tonight so I can move on to September book club selections. I‘m about 70% done, but my dinner will be ready soon. #hyggehourreadathon
