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.

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 ?
Definitely not my favourite of hers. But her usual social commentary and a great twist at the end.
This was good, but not my favorite. The last 10% really salvaged it for me. The audiobook narrator was excellent!

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