This House Is Mine: A Novel | 
pickA story of loss, regret and redemption, told in loosely connected chapters that each focus on different characters. I smiled, I chuckled, I pondered my own lifeโs decisions. Despite making some questionable stylistic choices, Hansen excels at creating deep and ambiguous characters, the kind that could easily exist somewhere out there. Iโm excited to read her other two novels.
I found these beautiful robins‘ eggs yesterday ๐๐ฆ I‘ll be keeping an eye on them!! I just investigated and it‘s very rare for them to have 5 eggs! @Lcsmcat

Sing is one of my all time favorites!! โค๏ธ
A very intimate & special author voice for her first book! I nearly cried a few times. Really enjoyed it.

I took this picture early in the morning shortly after we arrived. Later the beach was absolutely packed with tourists.

pickFinished my challenge with the excellent Altes Land by Dörte Hansen which my mom sent to me from Switzerland - thanks Mom! โค๏ธ This book is available in English under the title This House is Mine, but I‘m not sure how well the beautiful language, the dry humor, the Plattdeutsch and razor sharp observations would translate. One of my favorite reads this year!

This is my #freshpick as I just got it at the library & it's first chapter is titled: Cherry Trees. How spring is that?!
pickYou can't see the book cover very well, but you get the point! ๐Great book, beautifully written, good way to start the year!
Read Harder challenge for 2017. I don't do challenges to increase my number of books read, but to expand the types of books I read and get out of my comfort zone. A debut novel to begin. . . .
The cover made me pick it up. Halfway through and it's good!
