If you’re wondering what the heck my username is, it’s pronounced PAH-chay, a-MORE-ay, LEE-bree. Or just ‘peace, love, and books,’ if you prefer. It’s Italian.
Has lived in: New Orleans, San Diego, Bologna Italy.
I’ve been blogging since January 2017 and I’m having a blast. I read across most genres, but mainly read adult/literary fiction, and my three main niche interests tend to be Greek mythology, Irish lit, and East Asian fiction. All reviews are spoiler-free unless otherwise indicated. All publication dates and publishers/imprints listed are U.S.-based unless otherwise indicated.
Come chat with me about books!
Mysteries, historical, classics… and I love The Awakening!
A really nice site, Rachel. I look forward to reading your stuff.
Glad to see all of the classics on your list. I highly recommend Christopher Logue’s War music if you haven’t already read it.
And sorry to be so pedantic, but peace, love and books should be pax, amor, libri (all in the nominatve case. You have the first two words in the ablative).
I actually just got gifted War Music for Christmas and I’m very excited about it!
It’s amazing how close the Latin and Italian are. I assumed it was Latin. Sorry about that.
Oooh, thanks for explaining your blog name! I was wondering what language it was in 😊 I think it’s amazing that you can speak so many languages — fluency in several languages would be a dream goal for me, and I’m slowly working towards that. I would love to learn French, German, and Spanish in the future too — I’m mostly familiar with Asian languages like Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese, and I only know 1 European language: Norwegian. Well, it’s a work in progress. 😋 Anyways, I can’t wait to explore more of your blog!
I wish I were fluent in all these languages! I also wish I had the opportunity to practice them all more, Italian in particular is especially hard to find a user for living in Vermont! That’s so wonderful that you’re familiar with so many Asian languages, I would LOVE to learn Mandarin one day!
Looks like you have a good thing going for you here! Good job, looking forward to reading your reviews!
