Pulp fiction writer David Martín is struggling to stay afloat. When he is approached by a mysterious publisher offering a book deal that seems almost too good to be real, David leaps at the chance…after that the plot becomes intricate and mind-boggling. David has a brain tumor, then he doesn‘t. He becomes an unreliable narrator. I think I need to go back and read Shadow of the Wind in hopes it will all make sense.

“The past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipation for joy”

“…her voice finds my tongue and makes it her own.”

I couldn't let November slip by without paying homage to Harriet and her count in The Etruscan --- eggs, pomegranates, boars are all symbols of rebirth in the novel, a gothic tale set in 1922....

Here is my Bookspin for December 🎄📚 @TheAromaofBooks

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and down in the dumps this week. My plan for now is to focus on what I'm already reading and take the pressure off myself.

I may be on track for a November Bingo, but I don't want to count my chickens just yet... 😋

11-24-21: My 119th finished book of 2021! The sad story of the Blackwood sisters, Mary Katherine and Constance, who live with their ill uncle, Julian. The rest of their family is dead, poisoned, but by whom? The villagers despise the girls, who live a quiet life outside of town, but the sisters adore each other. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣1️⃣9️⃣

66% ...the plague is in full force now, and it's a bit difficult to read it now since Covid. 😐 (But check out this nice cover of the book that I found online!)

I think I received your gift Jessie and I am SO happy with it! I love Sarah Waters and I‘ve heard the best things about this specific one. Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

This isn't a book to be read in a single sitting; space it out a bit to enjoy it properly. I think it‘s enduring appeal is due to the fact that it‘s a deeply multi-layered literary novel, disguised as romantic fiction. You come for the spooky Gothic love story, but you stay for the evergreen interrogation of women‘s subservience to (and subversion of) the rule of men.
