Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoy nonfiction when the author travels, meets new people, and learns about new cultures. MacQuarrie follows the Andes through Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina to research the Ice Maiden, Pablo Escobar, Hiram Bingham, and so much more. He uses today's issues, such as bringing back ancient weaving and interweaves it with the archeology of yesterday's events. The entire book kept me glued. #FoodandLit @texreader @Catsandbooks

The heat is finally breaking and I can sit on my porch!

When you finish a “contemporary classic” but you found it to be… problematic. The ick factor is a real presence. I don‘t get why people are over the moon about this book.

Current read, next selection for book group. #FirstSaturdayReaders

“All you will have is the present. Waste no energy crying over yesterday or dreaming of tomorrow.”

Beautifully written and based on political corruption in So. America. 🇨🇱

#Bibliophile Day 16: #SetInSoAmerica #SetInSouthAmerica - Galeano would always be one of my fave South American writers. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hRd

🩵 One of my top 5 favorites of all time: One Hundred Years of Solitude
🩵 The one on my tbr I most want to read (though my answer could change tomorrow): Cold Comfort Farm
🩵 A confession: I haven't read any Terry Pratchett or Jacqueline Wilson (thus my poor scores 🤣). I just never got around to them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

With a wavering timeline and shifting points of view, this was a dark nightmare of Peruvian storytelling. It was somewhat difficult to follow but the claustrophobic terror felt real.
