Welcome to Litsy!

This is a book with very little plot and lots of stream of consciousness. A woman is intrigued by a couple she doesn‘t know but meets every day in a breakfast place in Madrid. One day the husband is killed and she can‘t stop herself from talking to the woman.
Not much more happens yet it is an engaging read with some interesting thoughts.

I flew through this book (hehe pun!) while travelling to Malmö for Eurovision. It‘s for this month‘s #foodandlit Spain. Written by a spanish author, it tells the story of an archeologist who moves from Barcelona to London to find her luck and ends up in a bookstore. It has a very cozy atmosphere in this rainy London but I guess not much of the story will stick with me.

My next ebook. #Spain #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

I'm ready for book four of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, but I'm also not ready to read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's final novel. After this, all I'll have left to explore for the first time is a collection of short stories set in this world and one more unrelated YA book.
Traveling solo to San Antonio, TX for work while nursing the tail end of a cold is a great time to make some headway.

As a Texas Longhorn I‘m not sure I can tolerate a book where a character is going to A&M. The Longhorns have what they believe to be a healthy rivalry against Texas A&M, but I‘ve learned recently from parents whose kids go there, A&M actually has a Freshman orientation about how much they have to hate the Longhorns. It‘s really weird and a lot of wasted energy to encourage hate. 😕

2✨ I DNF‘d this because I felt really lost. I was hoping for understanding in the topic, and man there was an information! It goes through several peoples real life events in interviews. I listened to this so it got very confusing very quickly. I can‘t say there was a timeline since there was a lot of different situations. I want to say it was mostly linear. I‘m going to research this a bit more and maybe try this again as a physical read.

A bit early in the day for #hyggehour but I really wanted tea & cake (my 1st since Easter & I'm going to regret making it in a mug come washing-up time)!
Here's my #Spain #FoodandLit reading list: A Heart So White by Javier Marías, and 2 cookbooks from my shelves: 1080 Recipes by Simone & Inès Ortega (a classic!) and The Best 100 Spanish Recipes.
