pickThis is a historical fantasy set in 1600 Madrid,I loved everything about this book the characters were well written the prose and style of writing were wonderful and it was all wrapped around a history that was riveting.

pickThis short story is set in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, #Spain, where two lovers are found sound asleep after a night of passion. An investigator prods them with questions--they were almost strangers to one another, yet she was wearing a wedding dress and he was wearing nothing--trying to find a crime they committed. Allende adds a touch of magical realism. A sweet fun story. #foodandlit @catsandbooks
Today we made paella for #FoodAndLit #Spain
It was delicious!
It contains asparagus, green beans, chorizo, chicken, and prawns 🙃
Another exciting Saturday evening
#5joysFriday Thanks @DebinHawaii for the tag! One of my favorite times of the week
1) spending last weekend with Mom and Dad
2) book haul for Mother‘s Day
3) growing tomatoes
4) son‘s receiving highest Eagle Scout scholarship from his troop
5) finding an awesome restaurant for #Spain #foodandlit
pickI liked this read and if people have been eyeing it I would certainly give it a read! However I felt a lack of depth in both characters and storyline. There‘s a lot of hints to a broader backstory to a lot of the characters that I felt maybe wasn‘t fully explored that left me a bit wanting.
My daughter and I tried Toro, a Spanish (as opposed to Mexican) food restaurant for #foodandlit. It was extraordinary! We had montaditos (queso de cabra frito) which knocked our socks off. Then we shared baguette sandwiches (jamón serrano with manchego cheese and cochinita pibil) and salads, and for dessert, torrijas. Toro was a brilliant find and a new restaurant for our list of places to go like last month‘s Venezuelan restaurant. #Spain
