Adding 5 more books to my TBR and trying not to hyperventilate about it!

I was heavily hyperventilating while reading each of them so you're in good company 😂

All of these sound good and I have seen positive reviews for some of them in other places. Thanks for your brill synopsis. Have you read Aciman's autobiography My Roman Year? I really enjoyed it, and you can see where he gets some of his ideas for his work.

So glad you enjoyed it—you'll have to let me know if you read any of them! And I've not yet read My Roman Year, but I have a copy that I've been meaning to read for a couple of weeks—will have to move it to the top of my TBR pile❣️

Do move it up. It's an homage to Rome in the 60s. Reminds me of those Italian films of that era including Bicycle Thieves.

I have to admit Slanting has me at the beautiful cover, but now you say it’s in her second language and written to beautifully, I’m sold!

I’m currently reading We need your art, bloody love it
