#Rushathon #NovelNovember #Readathon

Made a bit of a left turn off my November TBR to knock out another #BOTM book for the challenge (5 to go, midway through 2 of them! 🎉) but I‘m not mad about it. Although it started a little slow, I ended up enjoying this magical tale & the world the author created. I liked the characters & thought the story good for a debut. It could have gone deeper into the relationships but I‘d spend more time with them.

My big achievement for the #NovelNovember readathon was finally finishing this 960-page chunkster. The Malazan Book of the Fallen is an incredibly rich and complex series, and I've enjoyed every minute of reading the first 7 books so far, but it's such a commitment!

Dixon kept journals while deployed in Vietnam in 1966-67. He describes boot camp, training camp at Pendleton in CA, then his tour of duty as an MP with his team. It‘s honest and descriptive, heartbreaking and poignant. War and battle are good for no one, but in Nam the environment was filled with leeches, fire ants, cobras, dysentery, hunger, jungle rotted skin, and dehydration .

A fun little read, if you can call it that with a creature dug up in #Panama in the early 20th century, comes to life in modern times and could very well be the devil! This is a mixture of a range of fiction including horror, thriller, spiritual and even some romance thrown in! If you don‘t take it too seriously it is overall a fun read. Plenty of science thrown into the book too.

I was torn between So-So and Pick for this one. Ultimately the #LittensLoveRomance discussions put it into Pick for me. Thanks for hosting, @StayCurious 💙

I started reading this book a couple of weeks ago, when I was on vacation in Barcelona. A historical novel set in that city in the 20's and 30's, it's full of mystery, obsession and a hint of the supernatural. It wasn't as good as Shadow of the Wind but it still captivated me.

Andrew65 Agree. Still a good book, but not as good as Shadow of the Wind. 2d

emz711 Oh wow! That's the dream, to read the series while in Barcelona 1d
kwmg40 @Andrew65 I'm eager to read the next ones, though. I hope they can capture the magic of Shadow of the Wind again. 14h
kwmg40 @DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for stopping by! 14h
kwmg40 @CaramelLunacy Thanks! I looked among our photos for something that would capture the dark, mysterious feel of the Barcelona of the novel, but most of our photos were taken in the sunshine! 😂 14h
kwmg40 @emz711 I sure wish I could have stayed in Barcelona long enough to read the entire series, but I was there for just a few days. I'll have to make a return visit. 14h
