I've tried to create a mix of popular and more literary books. I've also included some which I'm sure are not strictly magic realism but feature in lists on Goodreads. I shall have fun analyzing them.
I shall post reviews on the blog and on goodreads. It would be really great if you all fed back your thoughts. Maybe some of you might want to join me.
