Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a rainy miserable afternoon here (at least it‘s not as bad as the US!) and I finally gave up with the work thing at lunchtime, so no better time than to finish off this little Christmas gem.

Thanks very much for sending this to me @julesG ! 😘🎄

I enjoyed this on one level as a quick and light read but I was disappointed with the book as a whole; it feels like lazy publishing to make a quick buck at Christmas.

The excerpts have no introduction so there is no context for each piece. It wasn't until I finished that I realised there is a brief paragraph biog of each author at the back but this book would be much improved with a brief introduction to each story. Ok but I can't recommend.

German-language poems, short stories, tales and novel extracts set at Christmas, but not necessarily full of “Christmas spirit“. In fact, they're often on the bleaker side, and all the better for it.

Look what arrived today! @julesG ðŸ˜�

Perfect timing for Advent, so I‘m very much looking forward to reading these stories in the run-up to Christmas, cosied up by the fire! 😘
