RaeLovesToRead No problem, glad you like it! Some great picks there 😊 2y
Yuki_Onna @RaeLovesToRead Thx! Soo happy you're back @ work! 😊 I just noticed that... Sometimes Litsy doesn't update me on new posts of the people I follow? 🤔

RaeLovesToRead Thanks! I've been doing some locumming the last few months... Good excuse to buy something sparkly! Haha 😁 2y

What kind of doctor are you, if I may ask?
2y
RaeLovesToRead I'm a GP (General practitioner) 😊 2y
Yuki_Onna @RaeLovesToRead Ahh... That's very demanding 👩‍⚕️ Kudos to you - if nobody has told you yet today 😊
Btw: I noticed you like Chris Brookmyre - I've recently bought 'Fallen Angels'. That'd be the first one of him for me. Have you read this one yet?
2y
RaeLovesToRead It is demanding but luckily I'm very part time! Haha. I love Chris Brookmyre... not read Fallen Angels yet... hope you enjoy it 😁 2y
Yuki_Onna @RaeLovesToRead Very part time sounds good! 😄 I'm also in the process of reducing my fulltime job to part time... I'm in a rut and want to get out. But then I need to feel better and get out of sick leave again first... That will still take a few months, I reckon...
Fallen Angels is on my mood TBR... You know what that means, right? 😁
2y
RaeLovesToRead Mood TBR? Nope don't what what that is! 2y
RaeLovesToRead Good luck with getting out of the rut. It's so hard when you feel stuck. Wishing you a good recovery over the next few months 💙 2y

It‘s a good day to soak up some sun, and a good day for some quirky novellas!

This is weird so far @erzascarletbookgasm , but after everyone‘s reviews for Murakami all month, I was expecting weird.

#authoramonth #Sietje #GetSomeSunAllOverYou

alisiakae I‘m doing the same thing! 4y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve come to learn that if it‘s not weird or surreal, it‘s not Murakami! 😂 Great to be out in the 🌞! 💛 🐾 🍃🌞 4y

Five short stories, centered around the theme of desire. Each story showcases different human desires - hunger, lust, cravings, longings. They are either strange, sad, or take a surrealist turn. There‘s one story I didn‘t get it, either it‘s weirdly Murakami or too ‘deep‘ for me to understand. 😅

I loved this beautiful short story collection by Murakami( my favourite author.😍) There are 5 stories and all are magical and teach us about life, love, hopes and desires. Some confused me a little but what are Murakami books without some confusion!😃 You can't expect straight forward, predictable and boring stories from him and that is precisely why we love him. For his uniqueness!❤❤ Don't miss out this beauty!💝

It seems to me that very sad things always contain an element of the comical.

Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.

Why my wife owned a shotgun, I had no idea. Or ski masks. Neither of us had ever skied. But she didn‘t explain and I didn‘t ask. Married life is weird, I felt

mrozzz 😆👌🏻 6y
swatreads @mrozzz I laughed out loud at this one too😂😂 6y
mrozzz Which is funny in itself because I certainly don‘t expect to read Marukami and laugh out loud! 6y
swatreads @mrozzz So true😀😀 Confused yes!! Hungry yes!! But this doesn't happen usually while reading his books😁😁 6y

Which is to say that wrong choices can produce right results, and vice versa. I myself have adopted the position that, in fact, we never choose anything at all. Things happen. Or not.

RaimeyGallant Interesting. 6y
swatreads @RaimeyGallant yeah😍I'm loving this book! 6y

Desire is a short story collection of his already published works. It's a beautiful little book to gift someone (or yourself) with. Murakami's stories are strange, surreal, sometimes sad but always a joy to read...
