I spent some time researching this one as it‘s not a location or period I‘ve read much about. I recommend Story of the Night by Colm Tóibín. I‘m still deciding what to read. Thoughts?

So much to choose from: poetry, graphic novels, mythology, retellings, travelogues, seriously the list is endless so it begs the question what will you read?

Nope. Not for me. Too weird. #HailtheBail #BetterBooksAhead

The June prompt for #BookedinTime is Australian colonies 1800s. I have chosen Kate Grenville's exploration of what it means to her to be descended from colonisers.

Finally finished this chunky book for #BookedInTime #SpanishCivilWar @Cuilin

When I saw last month‘s theme I wanted to re-read this book. I wasn‘t sure if my fond memories of it were because it was a good book or if it was the book I brought with me the first time I traveled without my kids. Sometimes just being able to think makes a book better.

Happy to say it held up and I was just as into this spy novel in translation as I was 11 years ago.

It‘s Friday! I‘m putting my non-fiction away and jumping in to some mysteries. I also want to read something for this month‘s #BookedInTime @Cuilin

Tried to read this for #BookedinTime, but I have to throw in the towel. The narrative is plodding and pedantic and the dialogue comes across as lectures by the characters. Life is too short —moving on.
