HAPPY #BOOKSPIN DAY to all who celebrate!
I'm not too sure how I feel about this draw tbh. The tagged is my BookSpin and The Book Eaters is my Double. I just don't know if I'm in the headspace for historical family drama even if there is a bit of fantasy mixed in.
pickNYRB comes through again 😸👍 I was not familiar with Monterroso before this and was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. A hilarious compendium of works by and about the fictional writer Eduardo Torres, the bard of San Blas, Mexico. Poet, critic, essayist, and inveterate blowhard, Torres is a fully realized comic creation, a perfect send-up of provincial literary pomposity.
My #Roll100 books for April. 🎲 24 and 🎲 36 are pending library holds. 🎲 16 is probably going to be purchased since it‘s not at any library branches or libby.

so-soThis was a challenging read. There was a plethora of characters falling in and out of the story and rarely was their end known. Also, there were hallucinations or delusions galore. This was a grim story about a grim time. Apparently, it was a story humanity felt the need to repeat.
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.

I was influenced into buying the TikTok bookshelf. I love it! I‘m thankful my husband helped me (read: did it himself) put it together because it was complex. Thinking about getting another….its so nice that it doesn‘t have to go against a wall.
