So Many Books ...

So many books on a bookclub day no less.  Here's the scoop.

A semi-autobiographic account of a boy (Jordi Coca) growing up in Barcelona after the war under Franco dictatorship. I was interested in learning more about that time before we go to Spain.  The book was good but it didn't give me any of the history I was interested in learning about.  I felt this could have been a story anywhere in Europe post war.  That said, heartbreaking, well written, worth reading.

I started this gem -- it's quirky and good so far, but I had to table it because of library books.  Back to this one soon.  Love story in a sci-fi world and it's funny!

This had a long wait list and I'm surprised I got it so quickly.  I'm almost finished with it -- well written, engaging, beautiful story telling.  Three different time periods all revolving around racism and the most prized horse of a century.  

Another self-help I heard about on a podcast.  I love getting these "maybe" books from the library.  It's a maybe because I think it'll have a lot of the usual advice, but it perked my interest.

Last one from the library.  This should be fun.

Bookclub this afternoon.  One dip made, one more to go.  Apple snack cake too.  Looking forward to today.  Hope you have a good Sunday.  Later gators.
