He may be gone but I'm looking forward to reading his books as I've never read any.

The frickin origin story of the labyrinth! And isn't the stained glass a picture of a rose or am I wrong? I haven't gone back to look.

Ok I'm finished! But who is Laia? Is it the back story of Alicia? And is the house they go to the same one that Daniel goes to work the creepy old lady? I couldn't find which book that was in.

For those who love the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series this short story collection is a must. Some stories are stronger than others, but most of them tie back to the original series, giving us a glimpse into the lives and ancestors of the characters we‘ve grown to love. It‘s not as good as any of his full length novels, but it‘s a pleasure to return to the streets of Barcelona created by Zafón. He passed away far too soon last year.
#AuthorAMonth - November - Carlos Ruiz Zafón:
There is a familiarity about this book. As soon as I said the names of characters and places out loud while reading, all of the memories of a story that I refused to let go came flooding back. This was like drifting back in time to the place that I was before when introduced to The Library of Forgotten Books.??
It's here! It's here! Can't wait to read it.

#AuthorAMonth - November - Carlos Ruiz Zafón:
It was a pleasant surprise to see this on the New in Paperback table at the bookstore because it‘s length is short coming in under 200 pages and there is only a few days left in November to satisfy this challenge. Also, there‘s this caveat…this book puts the reader back in Barcelona and the gothic vibe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books that began with The Shadow of the Wind.
This is happening today!
1. I just got City of Mist today and looking forward to reading that.
2. I think green bean casserole.

We have so much to thankful for every day, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
LOVE Barcelona and books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
Thank you @harperperennial

Haunting, and so interesting! Both Miguel de Cervantes and Antoni Gaudí make appearances. The stories range from super short couple of page bombshells to 30is pages slow burns. His last book and I am both so grateful for his work and so sad we will not be getting more.
Oh, sadness. The beauty and mystery of Barcelona. The wistful ghosts, cold assassins, wandering writers, and mournful lovers will never find stories to inhabit like those of Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I will never again wait with bated breath for his latest gothic invention. This last collection of stories will be published in November. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for a digital review copy. May you rest in peace, Senor Zafon. And thank you.
I won an ARC of this from a #goodreadsgiveaway in exchange for an honest review.
Of course, I wish this had been a full novel instead of a collection of short stories, but at the same time, Zafòn maybe felt the big stories had already been told and, knowing his time was limited, decided to gift us with these instead. As this was his last beautiful work from such a talented, gifted man, I could never give this book anything less than 5 stars.
This book is so good you guys. Feeling super blessed to have won this. Wonder if it'd be weird to buy it once it's published, too? It'd be neat to see if there are differences...
Anyway, it's kinda making me sad a little, too, because Zafòn has passed & we'll not get any more works. But this is turning out to be a nice book. I love getting back stories to the characters we know & love.
It's coming out in English in November! Happy birthday to me. I can't wait
