I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

#readingtheamericas

This was a pick, but only just. Some parts were fascinating but I loved the shortest section, on #frenchguiana most, followed by #suriname and then #guyana, which was much more than half of the book.

The author wrote everything in the present tense, but jumped around chronologically so it was very difficult to follow.

Quadruple dipping again!

Bluebird Great job on choosing books that fit so many challenges. I love your penguin books collection. I was so sad when they changed their covers.. 2y
squirrelbrain @bluebird - I think it‘s much easier at the start of challenges; it‘ll get more difficult the less choice I have. 2y

Of course, I‘m being greedy and having three books as my #lastfirst!

I‘ve just finished book 200 for the year (My Monticello) which means I can‘t possibly finish any more in 2022-need to have a tidy number!

I started listening to Demon a few days ago, Wild Coast will be my first for #readingtheamericas2023 and I‘ll start The Violin Conspiracy for some fiction. As long as I finish them in 2023 then they‘ll all count for next year‘s challenges!

squirrelbrain Thanks for hosting such a fun challenge, Kristen - I always love seeing everyone‘s posts! 2y
BookNAround Haha! I love that you have three. 2y

Book Mail from the UK to here in Oklahoma. Plus I have Audible version to listen glorious voices of Sam Heughan & Graham Mctavish reading Clanlands.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Can't wait to read this with a wee dram of Laphroaig Quarter Cask. It's thanks to interview where Sam Heughan talked about 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Whisky that I bought my first bottle of Laphroaig. Before that I always been a 🇮🇪 Whiskey drinker. Still love Jameson but LOVE the peaty goodness of Laphroaig. 😊 4y
GingerAntics Wait, they read the audiobook? I thought Diana Gabaldon read it. That‘s what Apple Books said. If it‘s really them, I will absolutely get the audiobook as well!!! 4y
GingerAntics @Crinoline_Laphroaig PREACH IT SISTER!!! I got into Laphroaig a little sooner. I heard about it from David Tennant. 🤣😂🤣 Gotta love Scottish actors and their love of good whisky!!! 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @GingerAntics Diana Gabaldon does the intro the rest is Sam and Graham. David Tennant 😍 4y
JacqMac Oh, I think I need this audio now. 4y
GingerAntics @Crinoline_Laphroaig I knew she wrote the intro. It makes sense they all read what they wrote. I guess Apple Books needs to revise who the narrator is. 💙💙 I do love a good Scottish actor!!! 4y
GingerAntics @JacqMac you and me both!!! 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @GingerAntics @JacqMac I just saw Clanlands is in the Semifinals of Goodreads Choice Awards. 4y

The Relic: A Novel | Eca De Queiros

My choice from the Livraria Lello bookshop in Porto was another Portuguese author. The Relic by Eca De Queiroz. A complete unknown author to me. #portugueseliterature #travelbooks

Velvetfur 💜💜💜💜 (all of it - Porto, bookshop, books.... *sigh*) 6y
Freespirit Yes all gorgeous. Lots of book shops to see along with the beautiful churches and street scenes. People here are fit because the towns are hilly! @Velvetfur 6y
Velvetfur @Freespirit Oh yes I forgot about that! There's a street which leads up to Batalha which I think starts from Praca de Libertade and it's almost vertical! 6y
Freespirit You certainly can‘t wear heels in Portugal @Velvetfur 6y

I‘ve been pursuing this book all afternoon and discovered there is a series of these books. New York. Baltimore. Stockholm. Look into them if you really want some low down on some quirky, yet relevant places that capture the mood of the town. #travelbooks

Jess7 This is perfect for #TravelTuesday - #readingresolutions ! I love Key West! 7y
Samplergal Who knew about #travelTuesday? Not me! 🤓 we are going back to the keys in June for camping. Just two hours but oh the traffic. Lol. 7y
CouronneDhiver Key West is good fun! 🍸 7y
