And this tropical vegetation is exactly what the characters are facing in my #authoramonth book The Kaiju Preservation Society in #Greenland! So weird having these two books in the same country. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks @Soubhiville
In further bookish goodness, my husband got us all books from a Japanese book shop while traveling for work. Mine is a Murakami that - I think - was never translated to English. I‘m not sure. I‘ve tried to figure it out. 😅🤣 So interesting, though! Holden got the first Wimpy Kid (his fave series) and Vaughn got Bluelock Vol One (one of his fave series). Also added a new member to my beautiful Kokeshi Doll collection!
Hard to pick just one quote from this book, appallingly timely in its observations applied to current events, 90 years later.
“With his oily hair falling into his face as he ranted, he had the look of a man trying to seduce the cook. I got the impression of basic stupidity, the same kind of his crony Papen - the kind of stupidity which equates statemanshio with cheating at a horse trade.”
pickI loved this delightful novel about the life of the upper class in countryside England. It‘s deftly written, with a turn of phrase and wonderful dry sense of humour that reminded me of P. G. Wodehouse (high praise) and the Folio edition has a forward by Jilly Cooper. A woman‘s view of 1920s Britain, parenting, class snobbery & the Feminists. And laugh-out-loud funny. Thoroughly enjoyable, I recommend it!
El diario de Ana frank es un libro muy conmovedor, porque se narran tantas emociones de tal manera que te hace sentir todo por lo que están pasando en ese momento las personas, te narra desde una perspectiva más realista el sufrimiento que pasaron las personas durante el olocausto y como es que era su vida, mientras eran discriminados y rechazados por la comunidad nazi.
Este libro me gustó mucho porque es una manera de volverte más empático
I‘ve picked out my next book for #Greenland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
pickMy highest praise. It is written as diary entries, what is happening to him & society as Hitler rises to power. He sees the stupidity,the cruelty,the arrogance.How such a regime destroys everything in its wake .The past ,the present,the future.Unfortunately, It is too relevant in this particular moment. Very moving, so glad I read it. I had heard of it years ago, then Tim Miller mentioned it in The Bulwark podcast.Beautiful writing,sharp insights
