#WeeklyFavorites

This week‘s choice was good but not memorable as were many of this month‘s books. King of Ashes is my favorites of these, followed closely by Seascraper.

Not her best one but this early work by Claudia Piñeiro is still very entertaining. It is set in a gated community outside Buenos Aires where the very wealthy live so far away from reality that strange things can and do happen.

Hooked_on_books I looked at the picture before looking at who posted and said to myself, “this looks like a Barbara picture.†Ha ha! 2w
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I am so predictable 😀 1w

#WeeklyForecast 35/25

I am reading One Boat, another Booker nominated book. It‘s short so I‘ll finish it soon. Next will be the tagged book. I have been reading Claudia Piñeiro‘s backlist and it hasn‘t disappointed yet. She‘s a fabulous writer.
The third one was on the ToB longlist once I think. It‘s been sitting in my shelves while I‘ve been wanting to read it for a long time. Now finally its time has come ?

squirrelbrain Sounds like a good week planned! 2w
Sace The Piñeiro looks interesting. The Spanish kindle edition was only $3.50 so I took advantage I bought it. ? 2w
BarbaraBB @Sace I hope we‘ll both like it! 2w
Cathythoughts I loved Under The Storm. I wish I could find more books by this author. ðŸ‘ðŸ»â¤ï¸ (edited) 2w
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts That is very motivating. I remember @batsy loving it too! 2w

Definitely not my favourite of hers. But her usual social commentary and a great twist at the end.

Amor4Libros Agree! 8mo
BarbaraBB I saw this one but haven‘t got it yet. I will though one day. You can‘t really go wrong with her I think. 8mo
TrishB @Amor4Libros @BarbaraBB you can‘t really go wrong with her I agree. This just wasn‘t as impactful as her later writing. 8mo

BarbaraBB I felt the same about an older one I read 8mo
TrishB @BarbaraBB I got that one for Christmas! 8mo
BarbaraBB It‘s definitely good. Just not as good as her more recent works 8mo
sarahbarnes I‘ve been curious about this one. It‘s just so hard to beat a couple of hers, I agree. 8mo

This was good, but not my favorite. The last 10% really salvaged it for me. The audiobook narrator was excellent!

BarbaraBB Another Piñeiro I must read nevertheless ? 11mo
Amor4Libros @BarbaraBB Yes! I had a good time with it, it just wasn‘t my favorite of hers. But the ending was so Piñeiro! 11mo

Needed a Spanish book to throw in the mix…Might as well make it a Piñeiro! ?

Two more new arrivals. I saw that @Branwen was enjoying I have some questions for you, and the Jennifer Egan quote had me intrigued.

I bought Thursday Night Widows after reading (and liking) Elena Knows, and finding out that the author was known for writing crime. This will be my first Argentinian murder mystery!

sarahbarnes I‘ve also wanted to read that book by Piñeiro after loving Elena Knows! Will be interested to hear what you think of it! (edited) 3y
rockpools Exactly what @sarahbarnes said. Let us know? 3y
RaeLovesToRead @sarahbarnes @rockpools I will try to remember to tag you both when I read it! 😊 3y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Yeah, apparently she's the third most translated Argentinian author! (Yes, I did just read that off the Elena Knows bookjacket to make myself look smart 🤣🤣) 3y
RaeLovesToRead @Branwen NEW BOOKS! *happy dance* 3y
sarahbarnes Ah, thank you!! 😊 3y
BarbaraBB 😂 3y
batsy Pls tag me, too! I'd love to read more Pineiro 😊 @BarbaraBB Think there's a few of the crime novels available in English! 3y
RaeLovesToRead @batsy I will try to remember 😊 I love crime novels in translation! 3y

Traveling to the opposite coast for work means lots of reading. Finished this on the flight to Baltimore. I was interested enough to finish this story about the "Haves" and the issues they face in the Argentinian financial collapse of the 90's-00's but I'm not going to rush out and tell anyone else to read it. This fulfills my book in translation/translated by a woman for the Reading Woman Challenge.

arubabookwoman Ooh— I recognize that bookmark! 7y
AWahle @arubabookwoman It's s great bookmark! I didn't realize it had conversions on the back! Thank you. â¤ï¸ðŸ“š 7y

I didn't read for two days and I feel lost and confused so remedying that STAT!

Reviewsbylola On the rare day I don't get to read, I feel horrible. Glad you got to get back to your book today! 8y
Clwojick I hardly read at all last week, I was so busy with work. Glad I finished two books yesterday. 🙌 8y
