The V Card by Lauren Blakely5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Let me just say, this whole part-time lover thing was her idea. Our arrangement worked well enough until the day I needed a lot more from him… But given the way my heart had been trampled, I wanted only a simple deal - No strings. Little did I know I’d meet him again, a year later, at a secret garden bar in the heart of the city, where I’d learn that his mind and his mouth were even more captivating. I might have looked at the shot a few dozen times. His crown jewels were far more entertaining than anything else I’d seen on the boat tour, so I did what any curious woman would do - I took his photo. ![]() When I first saw the strapping man, he was doing handstands naked on a dock along the canal. I’ll say this about Christian - he made one hell of a first impression. ✮✮✮ PART-TIME LOVER is here!

Choriro by Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() It's a brief tale of power and tyranny and it's consequences, lightened by lyrical prose and threaded with a very real sense of mystery and the very temporal nature of human existence. Named one of Africa’s hundred best books of the twentieth century, it reflects on Mozambique’s past and present through interconnected narratives related to the last ruler of the Gaza Empire, Ngungunhane. The novella is beautifully written from several POV, including the dry and sparse dispatches of the Portuguese officers as they engage with resistance. Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa first published Ualalapi: Fragments from the End of Empire in Portuguese in 1987. He had valourised the last ruler of the Gaza Empire, Ngungunhane, whose fight against colonial Portugal in the late nineteenth century mirrored the victory of FRELIMO in the war of independence some eighty years later. The novella was written as a critique of the Marxist rule of the charismatic leader Samora Machal in the nineteen eighties. ![]() ![]() There's a really helpful introduction explaining the historical context and the politics of post independence Mozambique. It's a novella that explores the period of Mozambique history which Mia Couto later expanded on in his trilogy and I'm planing to read the first book in that series Women of the Ashes. ![]() I read this as part of the #invisiblecitiesproject where we're reading translated fiction from three countries a month. ![]()

A walk in woods book5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Would get me fit after years of waddlesome sloth. Thru-hiking the AT, he wrote in the opening pages of the ensuing book, He says the idea came to him while out for a walk in Hanover, when he noticed the Appalachian Trail heading up into the woods on the outskirts of town. Bryson needed a journey to undertake, one with a distinctly American character. His next book would be targeted to an American audience, but his stock in trade was the humorous travel narrative, and he had already published, to a very mixed reception, his take on the classic American road trip. By the mid-1990s, Bill Bryson was an established bestseller in his adopted home of Great Britain, but success had not come so readily in the US market. ![]()
