Pickpick

This #1001books selection was surprisingly easy to read. The semi-autobiographical story takes place during the Cultural Revolution in China, and flows along nicely, despite how painful it is to watch the relationship between the main characters progress and digress. Dreamlike, with a talking horse and the ghost of Karl Marx, but clearly about the struggle for individuality in an oppressive society.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

And now I have finished #LitsyAtoZ!

Butterfinger How many more books do you need to read to complete your challenges? I'm struggling. I have five. I will just carry over because the Around the World that I am finishing was my favorite challenge this year. 4y
BarbaraBB Congratulations 🎉 well done! And thanks for the thumbs up for this one. 4y
Crazeedi Well done!👏👏 4y
sprainedbrain @Butterfinger This was my last challenge book, so I‘m finally done with those. 😅 I‘ve carried over a few in previous years, or just called it done if I really wasn‘t interested in finishing. I feel like challenges are supposed to help me broaden my reading, not something to stress about. 😊 4y
Butterfinger @sprainedbrain yes that is exactly how I feel too. 4y
