Thank you to @Hooked_on_books for recommending Jose Saramago for my #ReadingEurope2020 challenge #Portugal. I “spent” 2 Hoopla credits for this one! The Lizard at only 20 pages (and 7 of them being illustrations) seemed like a cheat so I downloaded Small Memories as well. Let me say, this author has a real liking for flowery run-on sentences...I enjoyed the first 70 pages but eventually I gave up on this book too. Im calling quits on Portugal😜
Librarybelle Haha! I bought this one on Book Outlet for Portugal...I hope I have good success in it and don‘t need to bail (haven‘t started it yet)...![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
