This book is STUNNING. One of the strangest stories I‘ve ever read, but it approaches love and loss with unflinching rawness and honesty. If you would have told me a book about a man mutating into a shark would be one of my favourite books of the year, I would have laughed at you. But, here we are. It‘s poetry. It‘s prose. It‘s art and paint and canvas. It‘s a love story. But mostly about self love and selfless love. Read it. Five stars.

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.

Texreader Interesting. Not sure this one is for me. 16h
Dilara I am reading A Heart So White by the same author - there are definitely similarities in themes... 15h

Hooked_on_books Sounds really interesting! 13h
sarahbarnes This sounds very intriguing. I remember reading another book by the author years ago, and now can‘t remember the title. 11h
BarbaraBB @Dilara I tried that one once but it is such a chunkster and I didn‘t dare to continue! 3h
Dilara @BarbaraBB My version has 360 pages, so not too bad but still a commitment. I did have to push myself a little bit to finish it though 😚 1h

There are a few collections out there that you can never read enough times, that you open and immediately it‘s like coming home.

StaceGhost I love this edition! It‘s so lovely to have the Spanish and the English 3d
IndoorDame @StaceGhost it is! My Spanish was never good, and these days it‘s basically nonexistent, but I love hearing the cadence of the original, and reading in Spanish does do wonders to bring back what I used to have of the language 3d
StaceGhost @IndoorDame I love that! I do the same with other languages ♥️ 3d

For the last two hours, I've been asleep, sitting on a fashionable novel. It's the only part of the body you can read it with.

Première lecture sur le balcon cette année, accompagnée de chocolats et réchauffée par les derniers rayons. Mon moment lecture a été interrompu par le coucher du soleil m'indiquant que s'en était assez pour aujourd'hui!

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘 ... you, too, @Eggs! 😘)

1. For some reason, I can always tell where north is without any app, North Star, whatever. I just instinctively know--no matter what city, either. I have no idea why.
2. Tagged: THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE.
