Cinfhen Did you listen to the audio too @Hestapleton ??? 4y
IndoorDame @Cinfhen I can see why the audio would be excellent for this one. I borrowed it from Libby and the audiobook wasn‘t available at my library, but my copy is due back soon so I may buy the audio and switch to that. 4y
Hestapleton @Cinfhen I did both! I listened to the audio for half and read the ebook for the last half cause I get impatient with audiobooks 😂 4y
Cinfhen Hahaha...it‘s true @Hestapleton the only drawback to audiobooks 4y

I haven‘t had the energy to cook this week, but I cheated and gotten delicious Brazilian takeaway to enjoy while reading my #foodandlit book. I had an açaí bowl for the first time?. And tried several other cool new things like an amazing coconut flan one night (not in picture). Plus a few favorites like those yucca fries?. @Butterfinger @Texreader

Butterfinger My eldest loves acai bowls. Will you be getting more? 4y
IndoorDame @Butterfinger yes. I want to try getting frozen açaí and making my own so I can customize them 4y

Starting my #foodandlit read for Brazil this morning. I‘m not sure I‘ll actually finish it in January because I ended up putting five 500+ page books on my list this month. Clearly I possess no planning skills. 🤣 But I‘m really excited about this one so I refuse to swap it out for something shorter. @Butterfinger @Texreader

Butterfinger You persevere you. 😊 4y

I am stingy with 5 ⭐️, but these two novels were my top reads this year. Both are heavy in character development and setting - I fell into and lived in them.

Cathythoughts I loved the tagged book too !! Thankyou for telling us about it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

Great idea @Cinfhen and thanks for the tag @Redwritinghood Here are my #Top6Reads so far this year. If I had to choose only one, it would be Lanny. It‘s the kind of book that reminds why I love to read.

I‘ll tag my recent swap buddies @Hoopiefoot and @erzascarletbookgasm

Cinfhen Lanny and Say Nothing are both moving up my list!!! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️ 5y

All the Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have no words to do this book justice. I am left full of images & feelings. A brilliant piece of writing, sacred & profane. A force of nature & unputdownable to the very last word.
Set in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Meneses family as they face into their final years.

Cathythoughts @Eggs I‘m saying nothing 😉 5y
Tamra It is amazing isn‘t it?! 5y
Tamra What did you think about the twist re: parentage? I thought it was a tad cheap, like he just couldn‘t leave it as is bc it was too gross - with either intentional or unintentional destruction on her part to get back at the family. 5y
Tamra @Cathythoughts 👍🏾😆 Perfect! 5y
Tamra Isn‘t it surprising we haven‘t heard more about this novel, given it was written in mid 50s? 5y
merelybookish Stacked! 5y
Cathythoughts @Tamra yes that was quite a twist at the end. I still have to process all that now ... it adds another dimension I wasn‘t expecting! I see what you mean ... it makes Ana far more complex ... not that they are all extremely complex already 5y
Cathythoughts @Tamra I can‘t believe we are only hearing of it now. Thanks so much for posting it up .... I really enjoyed (?!) it immensely ... brilliant book 5y
Cathythoughts @merelybookish I hope you like it. Will look out for your review when ever you get to it ♥️👍🏻 5y
TrishB Great review 👍🏻 5y
Cathythoughts @Tamra yes ! It is amazing ! I wouldn‘t have found it only for you 5y

5⭐️ Supremely screwed up family. Be forewarned this is not a story for the faint of heart. The writing is dense, thoughtful, beautiful, and reminds me of Marquez & Faulkner in style. Engendered feelings of wretchedness, disgust, pity, loneliness, loathing, fatalism. Eye popping!

It has a plot line you must read to the last entry in order to fully grasp.

I‘m shocked I haven‘t seen/heard of this novel before since it was written in 1959.

Julsmarshall Great review! I‘m so intrigued 😄 6y
Cathythoughts Brilliant review! My bookstore texted & mine is there for me when I go home from hols 👍🏻♥️ 5y
Tamra @Cathythoughts please tag me right after you read the first diary entry!!! (It‘s the first entry of the book, but is actually the conclusion of the diary.) Then tag me at the end again because I‘m dying to talk to someone about one aspect in particular. (edited) 5y

Tamra @Cathythoughts 😬 Depending on what you like to read on vacation, I need to warn you that it‘s not a beach breezy type read! The writing is dense (but amazing) and the subject/atmosphere is dark & oppressive. I always think of Spain as a happy & sunny spot, sooooo maybe if you need a contrast. 😂 I‘m loving it so far! 6y
Tamra @Reggie the dangers of Litsy.......😁 6y
Tamra @Cathythoughts by the way, I‘m very envious of your holiday plans. 6y

Whoa. This was intense and astonishing. I‘ll avoid plot details, because, frankly, they may put people off, but this dark and twisting story is so vivid and rich in detail, it feels as if the book itself is alive. For such a long book, it never dragged and I was never counting how many pages were left, rather I was pulled more and more deeply into the story.

Tamra This sounds great! 6y

A tour-de-force of a book about decay, hate, jealousy, desperation that drove a once grand family to destruction, set in the Brazilian backwater of Minas Gerais. Dark themes, certainly, but what exquisite writing.

Hmm... this new translation of a Brazilian classic by an openly gay author sounds just a little bit intriguing…

This article gives some more context: http://www.avclub.com/review/familys-downfall-marks-high-point-brazilian-litera-...

LeahBergen The description says "Faulknerian" ... are you sure about trying this one? ? 7y
My_novel_obsession The bookseller at my local bookstore put this one in my hands and said I would love it - of course he did not mention Faulkner - that would have put me off 😳 7y
shawnmooney @LeahBergen @Anovelobsession I am not put off by the "Faulknerian" descriptor, both because I really enjoyed what I read of the novel Absalom Absalom that I did not finish, and because I find those kind of comparisons usually to be silly publisher twaddle and not all that helpful. :-) 7y
