Finally reporting my books read for March. This was a long-book month, and I was only 2 days away from finishing Cashelmara, which will show up in my April books read. I tagged my favorite book this month. Challenge update:
#foodandlit #Nepal (from last month) 2 (Katmandú Killers & Eight Mountains)
#foodandlit #Ireland 3+ most of Cashelmara
#foodandlit #Italy #Jubilee 1 (Eight Mountains)
#authoramonth (Bardugo) 2+ 1/2 of Wonder Woman
pickAncient coliseum battleground, sacrifice, early Christians, politics, and cruel villains are written in the background where two slaves fall in love and are heinously separated. This book truly has it all. I intend to read all of Kate Quinn. TW - coliseum fights and torture are graphic #ancientRome #jubilee #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
pickTwo boys, Pietro the city boy from Milan and Bruno a country boy, become lifelong friends in the mountains of #Italy. Pietro has a complicated relationship with his father, and as adults Bruno develops a much better relationship with Pietro‘s father, creating an unusual but ultimately a stronger bond between Pietro and Bruno following the father‘s death, even when Pietro moves away to #Nepal. A slow, contemplative book in the shadow of the ⬇️
pickMy kind of book; a family epic. A rags to riches tale set in Sicily during Napoleon's time and the following revolution. I loved the imagery of the surrounding sea and town and the determination of the men in the family and the stubbornness of the women in their anger and love.
My only regret is that I realized halfway through the book that the Bourbons and the Neapolitans were the same people.

I‘ve started this book for February #foodandlit. It works for #Nepal and #Italy #Jubilee @Catsandbooks #litsyatoz #letterE
so-so+ I enjoyed reading the family scenes
+ Description of Venice was fabulous
+ I liked Commissario Brunetti and his interactions with the other characters (his children, suspects, his boss)
- I vehemently disliked the public prejudice of lgbtq. It implies a mother, identified as lesbian, could lose custody of her children
- (TW) child abuse
- Translation at times was confusing.

“He rooted around in the top drawer of his desk and found half a package of bussolai, the salty Venetian pretzels he loved so much.”
I love it when my #foodandlit read mentions food. So I looked up buying bussolai pretzels on Amazon. Nope. 😕
