4⭐️ A nice ending to a trilogy; may buy the series so that it can become a holiday tradition in the near future and to truly enjoy the series. #2021 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #middlegrade #christmas #averymerryreadathon #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 +41pts #readingeurope #finland🇫🇮
@BarbaraBB @Librarybelle Question on the challenge-is it “cheating” to use the same book for multiple countries? I have several that touch at least three countries.

3⭐️ While I liked that the author took a risk in having the book from the point of view of a boy, I really think that it wasn‘t a great success. The story itself is interesting, but I think if she had written from the point of view of the character as an adult, it would have been more effective. #2021 #bookstagram #bookreview #fiction #historicalfiction #wwii #readingeurope #Wales🏴 #readingeurope2021 #bookspinbingo
4.5⭐️ I really liked the book and that the author stuck with one point of view rather than the duel POV of The Gown, which I also enjoyed. I also liked that it didn‘t feel trite and that she used a different aspect of the #holocaust, one that should be explored more in #wwii novels. The author‘s note was really helpful. #2021 #bookstagram #bookreview #fiction #historicalfiction #readingeurope #Italy 🇮🇹 #bookspinbingo #readingeurope2021
This was a strange book with an unusual format. At times it felt like a collection of short stories at others it felt like a novella. It tells the stories of a group of friends and lovers searching for identity and acceptance in Nuuk, a town in Greenland. I read this for #ReadingEurope #Greenland and while I‘m a bit unsure of it, I will definitely remember stick with me.
Lovely to read this quiet, contemplative book of stories on this stormy afternoon. I understand why it is a classic, a peek into to the lives of two artists that live and work together. In their time they were seen as companions but it seems so obvious that they love and care for each exceeded the false boundaries of the time. #ReadingEurope #Finland
Today‘s Audible deal of the day. I really liked this book (my review is in the previous post under the tagged book) when I read it last year for the #readingeurope challenge. This book worked for both #Serbia and #Croatia (and I believe several more).
I have been procrastinating on a time-intensive, mind-numbing project for WAAAAY too long. Anyone have a GRIPPING audiobook recommendation to encourage me to put in the hours? Bonus points if it fits a prompt for #pop21, Reading Women, #booked2021, #readingasia, #readingeurope or Read Harder!
For those of you who like to buy ebooks, this is a good website for deals. Linked here is the literary fiction options for today, some of which may help for #foodandlit #readingasia #readingeurope and #readtheworld. Friday is the big day, but usually they have good ones throughout the week, too. You can sort by retailer if you don't use Kindle. Happy shopping!
