When I started putting books together for #14books14weeks I realised that between Camp Litsy and other buddy reads I already have 14 books lined up for summer. And I'll be reading those anyway, so I decided to challenge myself to also read 14 books without a group schedule. Most of these keep getting pushed back because of those scheduled reads. Well, now these are scheduled too. Not shown in reading order. Banana for size.

Leniverse @intothehallofbooks Nice! I don't know much about it. Just that it's fantasy and King wrote it for his children and other young readers. 10h

RaeLovesToRead BANANA FOR SIZE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 10h
Leniverse @tpixie It is, yes! I haven't read anything by him yet as I feel weird reading Scandinavian lit in English, but my brother got me that one and Beartown in Norwegian. 8h
Leniverse @RaeLovesToRead It seemed an opportunity too good to miss😂 8h
tpixie @Leniverse I would love to be able to read his books in his own language. They are beautiful in English, but the primary language would be magical. Loved Grandmother & Ove - they are my favorites. 🩵 I waited a long time to read Beartown because I‘m not interested in hockey. But it‘s so much more than hockey…. 8h
Leniverse @tpixie To be fair, they are originally written in Swedish. But that's similar enough to Norwegian it's more like they're different dialects. I have no trouble understanding it when spoken, but in writing it gives me a headache ? In Norwegian it's similar enough that I can "hear" it in Swedish internally. In English it often doesn't feel right and I keep wondering what phrase/word was this in the original? 7h
BarbaraJean Yesssss the banana 🍌😂😂 6h
tpixie @Leniverse that‘s great. The two languages have enough overlap for that. And I agree with @BarbaraJean I love your banana. 🍌🤩💛 6h
