The Book of Lost Saints | 
pickI listen to this on audio and that didn't work so well for me. I was distracted and found the story hard to follow, I know I would have enjoyed this much more had I read it - the writing is good the storyline is solid and the tone is just right for the topic.
Just don't recommend the audio.
I bought these bird post-it flags for this book I'm using for a term paper and they amuse me endlessly because I am a child
pickSolid pick about a spirit haunting her nephew, trying to get him to uncover family history relating to Cuban revolution. I would have liked less cringey sex scenes and more on Cuban history, but still a pick i think. Who can tell. In the era of COVID-19 i can't tell what's good or not, because I'm so distracted 🥴
pickAn evocative story of the spirit of a woman who lived through the Cuban Revolution trying to trace her life via her nephew. Loss, generational trauma, family, freedom are the themes explored by DJO, who has done a stellar job with this book.
pickLots of turns I did not expect, beautifully written, rich with history and family. A sensational way end my 2019 book life.
Picked up 2 library holds today. I guess I know what I‘m doing for the long holiday weekend!
I can‘t get over all the gorgeous covers on our new release table today!!! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
