I came in Louisiana in 1991 for 3 weeks and keep a strong sorrow of this country.
The book is about how the French king decided to send women in Louisiana to have a population there, that will be able to live & grow on this land
I'm currently reading Land by @bjornlarssen.com
The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan
To finally realize
The music of the sky
The scream of the sun
And the crawl of the snake
Limbless, perfect and absolute
Crawl'
I did get a #Netgalley approval for Curtis Sittenfeld's new short story collection so that is also a temptation!
Very good . History embedded in contemporary story .
You know that saying about - those who forget the past are forced to repeat it - ??
Well, here we are...
I shall be reading these three books.

Finnished this morning on Audio, The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku
By José Donoso
I've waited until the end of 2024 to read a novel that was published in 2024. I'm about halfway through and very much enjoying it.
Dickens could really have done with a ruthless editor.

And now I'm onto The Echoes by Evie Wyld & The Reddening by Adam Neville...
5 stars
One of them dazzlingly verbose, irritatingly intellectual, so-modern-it-makes-you feel-a-million-years-old kinda texts that you want to hate but can't help like cos they're too damn good.
From a writing POV, this dude n me aren't even playing the same fuckin sport. Bastard.
Seemingly it's got new covers now, may have to do a reread marathon
I mistakenly thought this series was historical fiction, akin to Shardlake — which is brilliant but not what I’m currently craving — so hadn’t picked it up. It was only when my friend pointed out it’s full of the supernatural that I thought I’d try it. And I’m so glad I did! 🤩
I'm also dipping in and out the Moomin books Mary gave me for Christmas.
(and Happy New Year to both)
Planning to livechat the next in a terrible novella series I've been going through that way to friends later but I won't call that one out.
