Life could be worse😇 I‘m currently on vacation in Budapest, chilling in the sun in a park and reading a bit on my Kindle App. Can highly recommend this way to spend your sunday🤩
I‘m also positively surprised by my current Read- I‘m gaining a lot of interesting insights in Tolstoi‘s mind and thoughts about society from this read.
I will probably finish this short book tomorrow! Not an easy read- very graphic and brutal!
It‘s about two teenagers who are been heavily bullied at school. Philosophical at times, maybe not much of a deeper story or character development but it is still stirring me up lots, so I will probably rate it 5/5🌟
I have enjoyed this one a lot! I found the main character very likable and felt sorry for her and and angry with everyone else for the way they treated her. It‘s about Keiko, who has been working in a convenience store every since school and absolutely loves it. There she understands how to behave, how to act, while outside the store‘s manual she doesn‘t know how to be „normal“ (as everone else calls it). 5/5🌟
I really have overspent on books lately BUT it‘s also super nice to receive book mail every other day😇 soon all my last book depository orders will have arrived though.(my bank account, bookshelf and boyfriend will be happy to hear this)
these books came this week! i‘m SO excited for the new Han Kang book! I hope I‘ll soon find time to get to it🥰
This was not an easy book to read- it‘s a violent & obscene story with very explicit & dirty language, combined with long sentences and lots of misogyny, cruelty & crime. It‘s about 2 teenagers without any perspective in life - a poor gardner who works in the gated community „Paradise“ and a rich porn addicted kid who lives in those premises who somehow connect over booze.
At times I was hoping for a bit more depth, so I‘m only rating it 3/5⭐️.
pickI ended up really enjoying this one! It was very intense and intriguing and despite it being quite the chunkster I finished it really quick! The first half started off a bit slow (there were a lot of informations about languages and translation in generel and such - all very interesting but not as page turning as the rest) but I managed to be fully immersed and invested in the story after about half of it.
4/5🌟
This ones (plus the new TJ Klune book that is not pictured) are all books that I‘ve ordered that have arrived this week 🙊 Now I need a week off to read them because they all sound so goooood😍 I‘ve already started Convenience Store Woman and while I‘m only a few pages in, I already LOVE it! Hopefully the others will be as good🥰
The next one of the way too many books I have ordered before book depository closed down has arrived🥰 and I‘m starting it right away🫶🏽 I had my eyes on this one for so long!
My boyfriend took a photo of me reading today😅 best way to spend your weekend! The book so far is also good, even though the first stories felt a bit random
Coming home from an exhausting day at work improves a 100% when bookmail is waiting! I LOVE false knees on Instagram and am so happy to finally own a copy of this!
Bookmail is the best way to start into the weekend😍
Starting this one today! I‘ve read her two other books which were both 5 🌟 reads for me, so I‘m expecting a lot😅
I‘m almost done with the tagged book that Yoshi loves to use as pillow. The story line is not really clear at times and many things stay vague (so far) but it‘s a great glimpse into a life that ended on the streets. I‘m really enjoying it!
I mean, yes, I was trying not to buy any new books but with Book Depository closing down I just had to!! (Okay maybe not 6 books but too late now😅)
Time to start my next read! I hope it‘s as good as the cover is pretty 🥰
New in and it looks so cute! I‘m excited to read it🥰
Next up! I‘ve read a book by Sorokin last year and absolutely loved it! I‘m a big fan of magic realism and he does it brilliantly. This book is about the year 2037, where books are no longer being read. A new trend uses books as fuel for cooking exclusive meals though. - the book sounds absurd and weird and I hope my expectations will be met😁 Sorokin is also known for social criticism so it definitely sounds promising.
pickManaged to finish this one today! I‘m not sure why it took me so long- it somehow did not completely hold my attention even though the story was really interesting, eerie and suspenseful. 3/5⭐️
Finall finding some time to dive into this while the cats are keeping me company! Have started it a while ago but never really found time to read on. The story is about to get interesting🥰
March has not yet been a good reading month, I seem to never find the time! I did manage to squeeze in some minutes today but again not as much as I‘d wish for… my hopes are high for the next weekend though😅
This one is a nice in between read if you enjoy the other books in the peculiar children series 🤗
Currently reading this book that @jenniferw88 gave me for my birthday🥰 very interesting story about a couple who lost their home and decided to just start walking a coastline trail with the little money they have left. I‘m curious to see where the journey leads them!
Just started this one and am about 50 pages in- so far I‘m very much looking foward to see how the story will unfold! Definitely already has a very eerie feeling to it! It‘s told from different perspectives and in different timelines, so it will take some time to get a clear picture
My current audiobook! I‘m already halfway through and like it a lot, it is very intriguing! It‘s about Luise and her life in a small town with it‘s tragedies and interesting people. It‘s in a way calm and melancholic and beautiful. There is a dream-Okapi that predicts deaths, a huge dog called Alaska and a buddhist monk. I hope the book will continue to be this good🥰
Just finished this audiobook! There were many sad stories, but I liked it a lot! It‘s the 3rd book in the Before the coffee gets cold series, which is about a cafe where you can travel to the past or the future, but only while you remain seated in 1 chair and only until your coffee gets cold. You can also not change anything in the past. All 3 books show random people traveling in the past/future and deal with their stories. 4/5🌟 recommended!
Thank you @jenniferw88 and everyone else who has sent me a lovely #litsylove birthday card ❤️❤️❤️this is indeed the most loving community 🥰
„In these unsettling times, every flash of breaking news is enough to crack the human heart.“
How true💔
I bought this because of it‘s beautiful cover, but the inside is also beautiful but in a painful kind of way. Benny and his mom struggle after the death of Benny‘s dad- both in different ways. While his mom starts to clutter their home the boy starts hearing voices. The book follows their pain and their way through life. I hope to finish it tonight! It‘s really intriguing and I can definitely recommend it!
Starting this one now! I‘ve read the - let‘s call it „updated“ version by Cossantelli in January and am curious to read the orignal now and to see how much she has altered!
@thegirlwiththelibrarybag look- I found it 🤗
Do I need more books? No. Does that stop me from buying them? Also no.😂
There arrived today and I‘m looking foward to reading them! I‘ve read a book by Sorokin last year that I‘ve enjoyed lots and the other two also sound so good🥰 (they have also been cat approved🙊)
@jenniferw88 I assume this one is from you? Thank you so very very much! It sounds intriguing 🥰
Birthday books! From family and friends- they all know me so well 🥰 I‘m excited to read them all!
My best birthday gift this year is that after eight years of being with me, my now fiancé STARTED TO READ. Out of the blue, two weeks ago he just grabbed a book and started to read it. He finished it. Bought a new one. And is reading that one now. I hope this is not just temporary- I love it so much ?? and he hates that I‘m telling everyone about it??
(also please note how my cousin‘s cat tried to steal my man)
It‘s my birthday tomorrow and while I usually loooove unwrapping parcels I‘m not sure if I can open the ones my parents gave me - Hooow beautiful is this wrapping paper 😍😍😍
Other than that- I‘m sick and will spend my 30st birthday in bed instead of with my friends. Perfect timing😢
pickI always love this books! It‘s so interesting to read about the artists behind all the brilliant Disney works - sometimes also sad to read that some had quite tragic lifes. And I‘m all here for sketches and early ideas- this books are just the best 5/5⭐️
And again, I‘m starting a new book! (Being home from work for a week while being sick does have plussides. mainly lots of reading time) I heard great things about Carrington and am curious about this book and happy I can start this now!
Just finished this audiobook, but it wasn‘t really what I expected and I‘m glad I didn‘t buy the book. I thought it was about MORE. I expected it to be deeper. But it wasn‘t. The idea was interesting but the story ended up being mainly about one side of a probably toxic relationship. Also the ending was super random I felt.
2/5⭐️
Starting a new book tonight! This is my second book by Klune and I hope I will love it as much as I enjoyed the House in the Cerulean sea!
I‘m halfway through this little book - it‘s a really cute adventurous story about two orphans who end up in the land of Snerg and I‘m excited to read on 🥰
pickReally interesting read about Klimt, Emilie Flöge and their surroundings. I learned many new things and was still entertained- it might not be a quick read but it‘s a very pleasant one! 4/5 ⭐️
What better way to start in a new year than with a new beautiful addition to my TBR 🥰
@wanderinglynn hit 300K Litfluence and is hosting a #300KBirthdayGiveaway 🥰 Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈 what a great way to start into the new year!
Another lovely christmas gift from my parents 🥰 this books are amazing, I love the series! It‘s so interesting to see all the old sketches and ideas!
A friend gifted me this cool cut out version of Alice in Wonderland 😍🥰
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating! I hope you have a lovely time 🎄🥰 tagged is my current read which I intend to finish today!
Also: surprisingly Kirby has left all our Tree ornaments where they belong SO FAR
My fiancé is usually at training on friday night so I have the apartment to my own. With two sleepy cats, tea and a good book it‘s exactly my kind of friday night fun? I‘m currently buddy reading this with @Tanisha_A I‘m only seven chapters in, but so far it‘s very interesting (but also a bit concerning regarding the age of the protagonist Emilie, who later posed for Klimt‘s painting ‚the Kiss‘ and was also his mistress later on)
Yoshi seems to also enjoy my current reads😂
Winter Tales is such a marvellous book- I‘m in love with the illustrations and the tales are also very lovely🥰
