Kindle book haul. All new titles on home screen! Now that bookdepository is gone, I have had an extra incentive to keep my physical collection from growing… Ryan Holidays book just dropped today, I really wanted the signed copy, next to the others in the series, but the currency difference is riddiculous right now. Digital it is for now. Enjoying it so much, he is often poetic, yet always to the point. A joy to read
#readathon #readathon2022 #deweys24hoursreadathon 20th hour! #hourlyphoto I did sleep a bit 🤭 back to sprinting in this title, and then we‘ll do an audiobook on our walk!
Finally my bookdepository Christmas order came ⛄️ bought fresh flowers today, it is after all my 30th january!
These poems are good for a stormy Sunday
Second hour and second book of #deweys24hourreadathon dinner on the way as its nearing 16:00pm local time.
#Reread time, really looking forward to it, it‘s been over ten years since I picked them up for the first time
Does anyone want to exchange postcards and thriftshop books? I read scandinavian, english, french and german. #Norway #Penpal
pickMy favorite piece ever. Finally got my own printed copy. Not the most eye friendly script, but this one‘s gonna be heavily marker highlighted anyway.
Second attempt, think the mood is better to take it all in now. It was simply too good for me a year ago.
I‘ve come to understand something important. Most people should never aspire to publish their poetry, but everyone, really, everyone, should write their own lines. They don‘t have to know how to do it, they don‘t have to read others, we are all poets by birth. I really think so, but it might just be the sun.
Not just the voice of one man, but through him the speech of countless anonymised victims of Stalins iron hand. Their spirit finds us through his work, something more real than the excuses and the propaganda. And definitely something else, than hushed down silence. It‘s very good. And he‘d be more famous if things were different. Not exactly political, his work is simply art. Beautiful, timely, acute.
Readathon hour 5. Bialetti on stove. Two titles finished so far.
Anyone else doing the dewey‘s 24 hours readathon on saturday? I just returned from my bookstore haul and am now a librarytrip away from being prepared. Want to be friends on goodreads for the occassion? Or either way really. Link to yours and I‘ll add you.
The library is closed, but the park is not. This author‘s debut, just out.
I have barely read a thing the last six months, since I lost my dog in a breeders dispute. Now of all my personal tragedies this chose to be the breaking point. No audiobooks on our walks, no evening cuddles with her head obscuring the pages. The very thought of letting a book soothe me, makes me irrationally upset. However. As I approach virus quarantine I‘ll make an attempt to let litterature back in. And try not to be so whatever this is.
Couldn‘t find a proper translation so here I go reading in german... Dictionary ready. This series was referenced by an author I love, Magda Szabò, and so curiosity had me.
The two on top are new to me and bought by impulse today, Sophie Podolski's have been on my wishlist since it was released, and finally arrived in the mail. There's a heavy thunderstorm also known as perfect reading weather outside. Me and miss Molting-season will have a perfect evening under a blanket.
pick"I can't concentrate on letters anymore, I have to shout."

Verily, enjoyable piece of reading.
pickOn point perspective of an ordinary life and the struggle against mortality. The lies, the greed, the unnoticed forsaken duties are all portrayed. Easily transferrable to any time and country, a human truth of how we must face death, and so we must live good lives, even if we don't really excist in ourselves until the 11th hour. I love this story as much as its' author.
#literarytriparoundtheworld #Russia
pickWestern but not spaghetti, some strange merge of genres, that at first I did not know what to make of. I still don't, but I liked it, and think a lot of people ought to read it.
#deweys24hourreadathon Last hour, last book to make a dent in
#China #literarytriparoundtheworld
"New to me book" for RAT bingo, nice smallish break
The book is about the amazingly crazy musician (who I've been in touching range of haha) and how he decided to attend funerals arranged by the public. People who had no one else to see to their final resting place. Have no expectations, just picked it up randomly.

My physical TBR stack for todays Dewey's 24hour readathon 🤩
Can't believe I've been literate for 21 years and this, is my first time in discworld!
Started this on top of many other open books. Figured I needed a change and this audiobook provides it by both genre and voice. And it is perfect from the first "page"! Thanks Litsy for bringing this book my way. (Also what even possessed me to think I was cured of reading more than one at the same time?)
Finally this came in the mail! 😍 #Philippines #literarytriparoundtheworld #ilikelonghashtags #orderingbooksrightbeforemoving #dogsoflitsy
pickEven at work I had to hide away to read a few pages, and I didn't sleep until it was over. (Under interesting cicumstances this book also joined me in the ER) it is such a competent story about what it means to be a sensitive child/person, what true genius is, and family relations both good and bad. This is one of those very honest novels. It tells a truth and doesn't try to be more than it is.
This book is a mystery to me, does anyone who sees this post know anything about it? I find nothing on neither author or book other than that it's deemed culturally important!
Went straight from #Chile to #Iran on my literary trip around the world today. (It's "the Shrouded Woman" by the way.) Have any travel tips? I've only been to like 15 countries yet. #literarytriparoundtheworld
Today I had coffee with my hero and got to spy on his next novel. I'm serious!
pickAbsolutely brilliant, masterfully lined with simultaneously different meanings. That feeling of being able to tell many moves ahead in chess, chased through my body as I was reading this. And not because it was predictable, no, because it invoked a certain sensation of intuition.
#Austria #literarytriparoundtheworld
I was picking books from the shelves of the library, first thinking they where at random, afterwards noticing they have a lot in common. All have "women" in their titles as the most eyecatching. A good warm up for the 8th?
This is really not giving me the same good feeling as the previous ones... Yet I couldn't ever think of quitting it. Halfway
Was too hard to resist, seems I'm reading the whole series in one leap.
#Italy #literarytriparoundtheworld
Won't be closing this one until it's done, somehow it really drew me in from the first page.
#NorthKorea #literarytriparoundtheworld
so-so
