Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m mostly satisfied with my genre mix, except maybe I‘d like to read more poetry. #sundayfunday

Thanks for the tag @Karisimo #middlegrademonday

I invite everyone to join us!!

I loved this book for the second time! I picked it up in anticipation of our trip to Chile next month 🇨🇱✨

One of Neruda‘s later works.

I really appreciate Neruda‘s observations on life and humanity. But his poetry on love is really where he truly shines for me. #TheSealeyChallenge 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

@birdie_gw have you read this one? If not, put it on your list. C and I are going to Chile in October bc Isabelle Allende inspired me - specifically this book - and I‘m going to reread it in Sept before we go. We can read it at the same time if you‘re game!

"In its caves the salt moans, mountain of buried light, translucent cathedral, crystal of the sea, oblivion of the waves." - from Ode to Salt by Pablo Neruda

He certainly was very passionate about salt. ?

This was my favourite book read in #November for #12Booksof2023. This was an excellent read set initially during the Spanish Civil War, but most of the book takes in the lives of two people following their lives in Chile as a refugee. This book really will stay with me for a long time and is a strong candidate for my favourite book of the year.
