This is a gorgeous book. I loved it so much, I have made a video review. That‘s right! I have started a BookTube channel. Am I good at making videos? No. Am I coherent? Debatable. Am I concise? Nope. But I have cats (#catsoflitsy) and book shelves to look at. If your interested in my full review, here‘s the link: https://youtu.be/Bzn0i4J9JS4 If not, don‘t worry. I‘m going to keep posting here too.

psalva For those not interested in the video, I‘ll just say that this took me four months to read. Why? I was lucky enough to visit Greece in May and I purchased this book there. I think, subconsciously, as I read it I was extending my trip, relating my reading to what I remember seeing as I walked the streets of Athens. (edited) 1y
shawnmooney Ooh the book sounds intriguing and I am delighted to hear that you have started a BookTube channel. I‘ve just subscribed and I‘m looking forward to watching this video! 1y

Diving back into this, I‘m remembering why it‘s taking me so long to read even though it‘s such a short book. It‘s because it demands to be savored. Each little essay is a homage to a street or an area of Athens which is often overlooked or neglected. Everything about this is gorgeous. I‘m going to stick to my goal and finish this this week, but it‘s going to be more of an amble than a sprint through these streets.

Bookwomble This sounds fantastic! I looked for a copy online, and thought I'd have to take out a loan to order it in the UK! 💰😱💰 But wait! It's affordable on eBay 😁 1y
psalva @Bookwomble Oh no! I must have gotten lucky. I got it actually on a trip to Athens. I hope you can find an affordable copy. 1y
Bookwomble @psalva Yes, there are eBay copies in good condition which fall into my price bracket 😊 I'll have to wait until next month to see if they're still available. As my book buying ban was a dismal failure, I'm trying to stick to a budget instead! 1y

This will be a good motivator for me to finish a few things I have put off for too long. These are my goals, in no particular order:
- Finish Walking in Athens
- Finish a novel
- Finish/Review Chambers of the Heart (An ARC I‘m embarrassed I haven‘t finished yet) #OutstandingOctober @Andrew65

Andrew65 Great to have you with us, good luck. 😁 1y
