I‘m not usually a fan of childhood memoir, but I enjoyed this look back at Saramago‘s young years. Around 100 years ago in Portugal is so different from my own experience, and he tells vignettes, giving an overall impression rather than a straightforward recounting. His writing is just so good that I was carried along.

ChaoticMissAdventures I have not read this one but I absolutely love Jose Saramago. Brilliant writer. 2w

Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures I‘ve only read a few of his but definitely want to read more. The first I read from him is Blindness, which blew my socks off. I want to read anything that came out of that brain! 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures @Hooked_on_books so good!! I have not read all of his (I think I have 3 to go) but this one is my favorite

Death with Interruptions

Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures One of the few that I‘ve read! It‘s so good! 2w

AnnCrystal 🤩 Amazingly Beautiful 👏🏼😍👍🏼🐝💝. 3mo

BooksandCoffee4Me Beautiful! I see them in the water ways in our farmland here, but never in trees. 😮💛 3mo

dabbe I would get in a car wreck because I would be totally #gobsmacked looking at them! 💛🐝🖤 3mo

Reggie Sooo good! 3mo

julieclair @bellabella @JenlovesJT47 @TheSpineView @AnnCrystal @Reggie 💛🐝💛 3mo

julieclair @BooksandCoffee4Me They spend their days in the waterways here, too. They only come to the trees towards evening. I read online that they like to spend their nights in trees/bushes because they‘re safer from predators if they‘re off the ground. That makes a lot of sense, since our alligators can‘t climb trees. (Although occasionally one does manage to climb up a few steps!) 3mo

julieclair @dabbe I often see people pulled to the side of the road looking at them! 3mo

DebinHawaii Wonderful! 💛🐝🖤I love the cattle egrets here too. I see them on the highway & in the neighborhood. I especially love it when they follow yard guys with leaf blowers single file to pick up insects & things they might stir up. Makes me smile! 3mo

julieclair @DebinHawaii That‘s a hoot about the yard guys! Smart birds! 3mo

lil1inblue What wonderful imagery! 😍 3mo

so-so

I didn‘t appreciate this as much as I feel I should have. Historical fiction in war (WWI) and post-war Africa. Amazing writing, but not my typical read. Read for my country challenge.

GatheringBooks Oooh! You have a fantastic cover! I have a copy of this one but mine has a more boring cover which I haven‘t even cracked open yet. 3mo

Kristy_K @GatheringBooks I love this cover! Definitely bought b/c of it lol. 3mo

I forgot to post a picture of my #jolabokaflodswap box when I sent this out last week. It traveled up the east coast and should be arriving today. Enjoy!

My lunch breaks have been pretty busy recently, and I probably went about 2 weeks without reading at home, so I'm pretty happy with what I still got in last month. Lots of graphic novels during down time at work 😁
