My May choice is one from the #Booker longlist. In only 105 pages Eva Baltasar writes about love in a way that‘ll stick with me for a long time time.
Three sisters mourn their mother and try to accommodate their father's grief while also defying the expectation that he can't raise them on his own. The youngest plays squash compulsively and watches old Jahangir Khan matches with her father. Nothing much happens. This is all vibe, and only the sketch of a plot, but I found it surprisingly captivating. Even the squash trivia.

Not one of my better reading weeks. I guess that is what happens when your away on vacation.
I‘ve just read a little bit of this one
The state of my reading this month. Starting books rather than finishing the ones I am reading. My goal in September is to finish what I have started and to carry on with the #booker books I can get my hands on! @TheAromaofBooks #bookspin #doublespin
#WeeklyForecast 32/23
I am having All the Little Bird-Hearts in progress, it is good! I also want to start the tagged book for #Camplitsy23 this week and want to join the #PersephoneClub this month by reading There Were no Windows. Hopefully I‘ll read even more, on Friday my vacation begins!
Intriguing list! Lots for me to read here...

Finishing this book felt like working. Three men, two of which are Jewish, are friends and are meeting one another all the time. They discuss Judaism, Zionism, antisemitism, sexism… and all in that sarcastic, self-mockery tone of voice Philip Roth does as well. Plus I don‘t think I have ever read as extensively about circumcised penises as I did here. Another favorite subject of the men. It was hard working and I didn‘t really enjoy it. #booker
