I Don't Expect Anyone to Believe Me | Juan Pablo Villalobos
post image

It's a f%£#@ teardrop, asshole! A m@#£f!@#£% tear from your cousin who's dead and you living it up in Barcelona knocking back a vermouth with olives! So the least you can do now is help me, or are you going to back out now?, have some respect for the dead, asshole, you owe me that, don't think just because I'm dead I'm not gonna find out, I can assure you I'll find out, little cuz, even if I'm a f@#£% ghost.

Another book that was just okay for me. I liked the beginning a lot more!

I really enjoyed Six of Crows but was less a fan of Ninth House so I'd been undecided on picking this one up before getting it on my #AuldLangSpine list from @Laughterhp . It took me a moment to get into it but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting of the Spanish Inquisition was great for a historical fantasy book, and I really loved the character of Santangel. @monalyisha

monalyisha That does sound like a time period rife for a fantasy novel! 1w

A novella about a woman who goes along with her partner‘s desire to have a child even though she doesn‘t want to be a mother. Her intentions are good but of course everything changes in their lives. Powerful emotions run throughout these pages, from isolation to desire and back again. An undeniably strong story that I liked but didn‘t quite love.

sarahbarnes Great review. I felt the same way. 1w

This is my second Matt Haig book. The fantastical nature of this book is lighter and more hopeful than the twists and turns of the Midnight Library. It‘s always fun to read a septuagenarian find a new lease on life.

Well written. Fast paced. Not too cliched. Overall not too bad. Just the ticket for a beach or plane read. Liz Nugents Lying in wait is a similar theme and I would highly recommend that.

So many memories here! My score was 56.

My favourites:
Anne of Green Gables
Narnia books
A Wrinkle in Time

Should have been on the list:
The Paperbag Princess
Stand in the Wind
Alligator Pie
Honourable mention: The Devil in Vienna is one of my favourite books of all time but maybe more a pre-teen book.

Would like to read (based on the cover 😉)
The Arrival
Julian is a Mermaid
Cianpollo the Little Onion

TheBookHippie Julian - the whole series of picture books is amazing. 3w
