After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 6d
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks She's hit or miss for me now. I loved her earlier books, but either her writing style changed, or I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6d

julieclair Good for you! 1w
LiteraryHoarderPenny @TheBookgeekFrau I listened to it, but I don‘t know if that would help. I hope it gets better for you! 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair And Thanks to *You* for this challenge!💞 You are the fire beneath my chunkster avoiding ass 😂 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea The first 30 or pages had me really regretting my decision. But I figured I had to at least give it to 50. I'm currently on 52 and getting into it. 1w
TheAromaofBooks Good luck!!! 1w

On the day I left my SWF holiday I managed to visit Noff‘s op shop in Regent St Redfern. I ❤️ that it is open on Sun. The cardi seems to be vintage, it has sparkles & was only $4 down from $10! The 👗 also has sparkles. I can‘t resist a small men‘s 👕 with a beautiful pattern. Last yr I scored lots of good adult 📚. This yr it was beautiful picture 📚 plus a travel 📕 for me. I‘ll keep the kids 📚 at my place for my little people to enjoy here.

It's Paloma's first trip to Mexico City, home of her long-deceased father, and she doesn't want to be there.

Until she meets new friends, is intrigued by Frida Kahlo, and finds there is a mystery to be solved.

Last Wicked Words for the month! #WickedWords @AsYouWish
And Spanish-Speaking country for @julieclair #FictionalTraveler
Also a GORGEOUS cover.

Wow..... This book was heavily detailed, rich and colorful like the paintings Kahlo was known for.

Hours worth of journal entries from herself as well Diego, letters written by her and to her, articles, and interviews highlight Kahlo and show her as this majestic, larger than life, exotic and fiery individual who captivated so many.
