Welcome to Litsy!

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!

Between this and “Via Merulana” I‘m starting to think paragraphs are not valued on the continent. This is a pretty much as described - a kind of mediation on murder, love, and what we know and can‘t know about other people. There is a lot of ruminating going on, so if you‘re like me and just want a plot, you‘re probably missing the point.

Loving right now. Weird how the main character, Maria Dolz, imagines the imaginings of the other characters. It‘s very meta. We see the supporting characters as imagined by The author who imagines what Maria imagines the other characters might have imagined...fun!

Bank holiday garden reading. Finding this hard to put down!

I really enjoyed the characters and the theme of this story. The only downside was the Norwegian translation - it often felt too direct, which made the language awkward and annoying. I should probably force myself to read Marías in Spanish next time.

Reading in Switzerland. Oh the places you'll go!☉🚂😍

When life gets you down....relax with a book and a warm cup of tea (latte).

Well, I cleaned my bedside table off yesterday 😂😂😂😂📚📚❤️

Book club book...cool cover!
