Someone was looking for recommendations from ROMANIA. My brain won't come up with the @ right now.

1798: the protagonist has to flee her home to find her uncle in Bucharest. She's to retrieve the titular magical cook book, but finds her uncle dead and the book gone. All she has is a map that takes her from Romania to France and Germany. A journey that reveals her family's powers to her and her connection to the cook book's author.

CaroPi If you want more recommendations the author Mircea Cărtărescu has been nominated for the Nobel a couple of times 2d
IuliaC For more recommendations, there are also Romanian authors Eugen O. Chirovici and Dan Lungu, whose novels have been translated to English 2d
julesG @CaroPi @IuliaC Thank you! I hope the Litten who was looking for recommendations sees the post. My brain still won't tell me who asked. 😐 2d

squirrelbrain As soon as I saw this cover I thought Rachel Cusk-esque and I see she‘s referenced in the blurb! 4d
BarbaraBB Another great one I think 4d
BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - right?! More book serendipity? 3d
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - I am pretty sure this was on the last day of TOB when it is current year recommendation time. I added most to my gr tbr… 3d

Looks like this is my #DoubleSpin for the month; I already got started on it, which is nice (albeit stalled out a bit due to bewilderment about the setting). Work: A History of How We Spend Our Time by James Suzman is my #BookSpin.

And here's my bookspin bingo card... I did already get started on reading for February, and include some of those books on my list, so I have a start. (Don't worry, I didn't peek at the numbers before I made the list.)

Catsandbooks I actually wasn't the one to add the books to the Storygraph challenge. I've just added books to the Google doc 3mo
Texreader @Catsandbooks Ah!! Well thanks to the wonderful folks who did! 3mo
ChasingOm I added some. 😄 I‘m a StoryGraph newbie but I love tracking challenges there! 3mo

I thought about flowers for #autumnplease day 9 and my brain went straight to ‘what‘s really horrific and scary and involves flowers?‘ So we ended up with A Rose For Emily 😬 this book was in a short story collection I won as a prize at school when I was 12 and I LOVED it. I was a ghoulish little thing lol
