I'm blaming you. ;) <br /><br /><br />(not complaining though; so far they've all been good-to-great, which is helping me get over the ARC slump I was in which is why I quit requesting them. Got burned out on so-so ones.)Sheilahttp://deliberatereader.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496632749733347126.post-60673059393403585432015-04-13T19:05:50.690-03:002015-04-13T19:05:50.690-03:00I need to form an online support group for book bl...I need to form an online support group for book bloggers who are trying to break their ARC-requesting addiction.Alisa Whttp://papercuttts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496632749733347126.post-31792020591872487692015-04-13T16:24:34.160-03:002015-04-13T16:24:34.160-03:00I would pick the Book of Speculation based on that...I would pick the Book of Speculation based on that cover too!

I know it's fat and intimidating, but it's not difficult to read. That one or Kafka on the Shore (my second favorite). I'd say they are both different from the types of books that you usually read, but I'm curious to know if you like Murakami.Alisa Whttp://papercuttts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496632749733347126.post-22789870993971634192015-04-13T15:52:56.871-03:002015-04-13T15:52:56.871-03:00He has an organization??

That pic is actually from Santos, but next month I'll probably have a São Paulo photo ;) You should try trading, the worst they can do is turn you down. I mean, I didn't even know the verb for trade, I kind of grunted and pointed and smiled a lot. hahahAlisa Whttp://papercuttts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496632749733347126.post-26006180784985026922015-04-13T15:24:38.970-03:002015-04-13T15:24:38.970-03:00Thanks for commenting!

So I'm planning to take some trips inside of Brazil until my visa situation gets resolved.

I especially like the sweet red ones they have here! <br />I haven't had any personal problems with the mosquitos, but a lot of people are still turning up at the hospital with dengue so it must still be summer. =S<br />Love those links you shared!
