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😜
