I‘m spending a very quiet night reading this book, book 1 of a series set in Venice, recommended by my father-in-law. I really like the author‘s writing style. I‘m hoping it will be the start of a love affair with a new series! #serieslove #foodandlit #ItalyJubilee @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

The Holy Year of Jubilee | Herbert Thurston
post image

A reminder that we are celebrating #Italy all year long with #foodandlit thanks to it being “Jubilee,“ a Holy Year celebrated by the Catholic Church, a year of hope and a time for reflection and forgiveness. Religious or not, every time you read about Italy or eat Italian food, we want you to celebrate it here! Post what you learn about Jubilee, Italy, the Roman Empire, etc! All other planned countries are still going forward.

Texreader We will end the year with a big Italian celebration in December!! Post #foodandlit

GingerAntics What a beautiful video. I wish parents and teachers treated her diary in the way he treated it. 7h

That was...underwhelming. So little was actually revealed that I might even pick up the sequel in hope of getting some closure. The ending feels extremely open and after 400 pages I'd like something with more substance to it. On the bright side, there was a lot of Dutch history, food and culture depicted.

Have been eating Vla pudding all of last week since they come in 1l packs😂

BarbaraBB Cool that you‘ve been eating vla. It‘s still quite popular amongst children. I haven‘t eaten it in years! 7h
Lunakay @BarbaraBB I love all pudding-style desserts, but that's a favourite because it's such a lovely, light and creamy option🤩 And the duo is just amazing🤤 7h
Texreader This book was a thin pick for me. 7h

If it‘s Tuesday, it must be Hilo. Well, most weeks anyway. The usual airport breakfast & hanging in the lounge until boarding. I finally started this one for #FoodAndLit #Netherlands. It‘s been on my Kindle TBR for a while now, so this is a good excuse to get ‘er read. 🇳🇱

Texreader The stars have aligned for you to read this one! Looks good I may be adding it to my tbr 9h
Deblovestoread Look forward to your review. It‘s been on my kindle forever. 7h

Strega Nona: Book & CD | Tomie DePaola

Pickpick

Jace & I read these for #foodandlit this month. Strega Nona is set in Italy for #Jubilee - and the others are all set in The Netherlands. Strega Nona was very cute, and I also really liked The Hero of Little Street, which has no words but is quite the adventure when a little boy gets sucked into a 17th century painting in Holland. 🇮🇹🇳🇱

Reading too many books at once so nothing gets finished quickly!

I'm enjoying The Idiot, but the ebook was taken back by the library so now I have to read the paperback, which'll take longer. I'm about halfway through HF for #RiseUpReads I finished TDoE for #Netherlands #FoodandLit. Ooft, what a book, what a surprise ending. I'm working through TSoAwM and forsee a Met Museum hunt in my future. Tagged book was for a global reading goal. #Bolivia

sarahbarnes I‘m really interested in Art Without Men. And I can‘t agree more with your sentiments about Discomfort of Evening. I read it last month and oof was the word I came away with, too. 11h
Liz_M @sarahbarnes It's written in a very informal style and the segues are almost comical. I think it started as a series of Instagram posts. It's a good overview, nothing in depth, and has thick shiny paper so the reproductions (on every page) look nice. 1h

Texreader I agree! I love it when that happens. I think it‘s only happened once to me. 2d
Dilara @Texreader Same for me! But it was a lot less serendipitous: I was reading The Enchanted April in April, so the odds were in my favour... 2d

Daisey I really want to read this one, and have it on my shelf, but life is a bit too busy now to add it in right now. 1d
Dilara @Daisey Is this the Archipelago version? It looks like most people who received it are keeping it for a rainy day (or week)😉 9h
Daisey @Dilara Yes, it‘s going to require a bit of a time commitment! 1h
