Like Water for Chocolate (Revised) | Laura Esquivel

Gotta love charity stores. I have been wanting to read this for years and just found a copy for R16 (less than $1). And it counts for my #AroundtheWorldin80Books Book Club

MissAimz_55 That's so awesome! I think I'm going to make an around the world in books page too!!! 7y

knittedgnome @Bookworm54 thanks for clearing that up! 7y

knittedgnome @MissAimz_55 do it!! I thought it would be a fun challenge and make me read out of my usual zone! 7y

Amabear I wanna make these! Super neat 👍🏻 7y

knittedgnome @Amabear thanks! You should! They were nice and easy! 7y

Amabear @knittedgnome what‘s the one million page one? 7y

knittedgnome @Amabear I'm just tracking the number of pages I read. When I finish a book (not audio for this) I add it to what trackers it fits. 7y

Amabear @knittedgnome awesome! 7y

azulaco Pretty! I track all my challenges on Goodreads. I'm in the Around The World In 80 Books group, and I'm doing both their #aroundtheworldin80books and #usareadingroadtrip challenges, at my own pace. You should check there for reading ideas if you get stuck. Any country or state, someone's already found a book from there, I promise. 7y

knittedgnome @azulaco thanks for the tips! I need to give Goodreads another chance. It wasn't recording ebooks like I thought and I was so disappointed I haven't looked at it for more! I'm going to use this to step out of my normal some and explore new places! Of course in the beginning I can read whatever and it will fill in blanks. Lol. 7y

Pierced by the Sun | Laura Esquivel

If I can get this one finished in the next few days, it will complete a 30-point task in the Goodreads Seasonal Reading Challenge. I think I can do it. #srcsummer2017 Also Mexico for #aroundtheworldin80books.

The Miniaturist | Jessie Burton

pick

I loved the writing and the story in this book, but I can see why some people didn't like it as much. It definitely left me wanting more...several mysteries were not resolved when the book ended. I still enjoyed it and would recommend. Historical fiction with a pinch of weird/suspense. #aroundtheworldin80books #srcspring2017

Killed at the Whim of a Hat: A Jimm Juree Mystery | Colin Cotterill

pick

I loved this book! So many interwoven mysteries, and the entertainment of watching a slightly dysfunctional Thai city family settle into a sudden new life in the boonies. Jimm Juree, the narrator, is sharp and witty, edgy and modern. I actually liked this book more than Cotterill's first series set in Laos, which was good but could be slow. Look forward to the rest of this series. #aroundtheworldin80books #litsyAtoZ #aprilbookshowers #ruralsetting
