Soo, I just started but this description of a palomita (anis with water) seems the most romantic fragment of the book. #trueloving

After reading Nada (Carmen Laforet) let's go for a bit of the (Spanish) Civil War.

Soo, I really didn't connect with Julien, and I really didn't feel his contradictions were part a complex soul or character, but rather just a quite annoying trait. For most of the novel I couldn't see the coherence between the description of Julien by the narrator and his thoughts and actions but, to be fair, in the last ~100 pages we see a tremendous evolution and refinement of Julien that makes for all prior frustration. I would rate tR&tB 7/10

Sooo much better!!! Rearranged by country, then alphabetically by author and then by date of publication. Also, I cleaned the bookshelf and surprisingly didn't drown in the dust 💪

Time to clean and rearrange muy bookshelf!! Wish my luck, I have a long work ahead 😖

This bookmark makes every read epic 🐉🐉 I'm really enjoying the Red and the Black, though I'm not sure what to make of Sorel...

Second chance to this one! I love the quote introducing the first part of the book: "the truth, the bitter truth" from Dalton. #theRedandtheBlack #Stendhal #adulterousEurope
