Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed my first #ReadingAsia2021 book. This is not a part of the world I know much about, but I discovered so much. There's a loose plot based on an outbreak of avian flu and some romance, but at its heart, this is a culinary and cultural tour of Indonesia. I just wish there was an Indonesian restaurant nearby, the food was so lovingly depicted I want to try some. It is also my #bookspin book for #bookspinbingo. #JoyousJanuary

Starting this one. One review hinted at meandering and no real plot, another hinted at it falling into several genres. All of these things appeal to me right now.📖📚

I want to mark this pan but there are so redeeming parts - it‘s well written, there‘s some really lyrical sentences. Nothing really happens. There‘s a lot of long descriptions of food and locations and friends. Many chapters start with dreams that are odd and don‘t really fit into the overall story. It‘s sort of a romance but not really. I don‘t really know what the point was. #readwomen #diversebooks

Happy Caturday! I‘m hanging out with Red today while his parents are out of town, and reading a little more of the tagged book. I like it, but it seems to ride the line between a couple of genres. Not a bad thing, not at all, it‘s a little unexpected, though. Soon I‘ll head home to Chico and do some dreaded housework. 🤷🏻‍♀️
