This was a disturbing story. I was fascinated throughout the first part as Grenouille learned all about scents (and horrified by one scene), then a bit lost by the hermit in the hills portion, and again intrigued by the next section. Then things got crazy! I have no words for the ending, but I was completely engaged in listening.

📷: Happy beagle photo to balance out the creepy murders in this story.

Daisey @jewright The man in this story has no scent of his own, but he can identify any other scent exactly. It makes him a great perfume maker, and then it gets weird. No more details here to spoil the story. It‘s another one from the list! 🤷‍♀️ 2w
Daisey @tpixie I think I‘m at 265. I started keeping track and reading purposefully in 2018, but I had read some before that. 2w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My assessment is similar. I was a little bored with it, but he last 10% or so of the book turned a bit bonkers! 🤣 2w
Tkimsal This book has been on my TBR list for like a million years! 2w
Daisey @Megabooks @batsy @dabbe Thanks! She had a good long run yesterday! 2w

1 It may be obvious to say books, but I especially loved the smell of brand new school books, cracking them open and sticking my nose right in the middle.
2 A crayon/paint/Play-Doh mix. I taught Montessori preK for 27 years and the smell of a preschool classroom still makes me smile.
4 Weirdly tobacco. I am not a smoker, but I love the smell of pipes and cigars. I even have a candle that smells like them.
@Eggs & thanks for the tag @dabbe

dabbe OMG, the smell of Play-Doh. I'd love to smell your combo, too! And I can totally understand the smells of cigars; they remind me of my grandpa. 💚💙💚 2mo
Cuilin @dabbe yes I think the smell of cigars are a nostalgic reminder of the past. 2mo
Eggs #1 - oh yes that was heaven! Great descriptions 🙌🏻👏🏻 2mo

🔥 Campfire: Lots of memories of camping and various outdoor activities (somewhat related, tobacco pipe (but absolutely not cigarettes))

🌊 I remember my college town was pretty well landlocked. I visited a friend during a break, and about a mile from their house, I could smell the creek that ran by their house. I didn't realize how much I missed water.

🍊 No obvious reason, I just love the smell of oranges.

Eggs Ah orange 🍊 good one! 2mo
lil1inblue Campfire memories are the best. 😍 2mo

My current read! I haven't read many translated books, but I want to start reading more of them. This one is originally published in German, and it's a very unique story. Also wanted to show off my manicure that I just finished up with! Gotta love a self care day.

A young man who is born into unfortunate circumstances in 18th century France has such a hyper refined sense of smell that he experiences the world through scent. He becomes a perfumer, and spends his life trying to create for the perfect scent.

Ok, ok, i've hopped on the bandwagon - I added some little ghosts and pumpkins to cover up some unfortunate water damaged that happened to these prints. #litsycrafters #ghostpainting #BatBrigade
