Before I forget, just wanted to remind y'all that Spanish Lit Month(s) 2016 will continue throughout August for any/all inclined to keep reading Spanish language literature in fine company for another month. For those of you who have already had enough, good riddance--I mean, thanks for participating and keep checking back every Sunday or so for the latest links round-ups. Cheers!

Cheers for the links, Richard - always appreciated. Hooray for the extension of Spanish Lit Month into August. It might be the middle of the month before I get my Ulloa review up, but it will happen. :)
ResponderBorrarMy pleasure, Jacqui, and no rush about your House of Ulloa review. Looking forward to it, though!
BorrarDon't forget me: La Regenta!
ResponderBorrarThanks, Scott--had meant to write to you at some point today to see if I could include your post. Not forgotten!
BorrarGood, I have another novel to review; and then 2 more which I'll never finish in August either but are nonetheless very good (to this point).
ResponderBorrarPlenty of time, Obooki, plenty of time! Looking forward to your posts whenever they happen.
BorrarHi Richard, would you be interested in these two posts on peak reads?

Thanks Mandy
Hi Mandy--and thanks so much for those posts! I've added the Herrera link to the appropriate week and will likely add the Villalobos to the first week's links even though it falls outside the July & August parameters. Nice to make the acquaintance of you and your blog, by the way. Cheers!
BorrarHi Richard, I posted a Lorenzo Silva along with the Gonzao Sainz this week
