Been seeing lots of things for this book lately. Figured I should give it a try since I was looking for a new read. It‘s daunting at the size of it and how long it is, but I‘m enjoying it so far.

1. Tagged. The Earthquake Bird by Susannah Jones. I remember being obsessed by it some years ago. - I even once missed my commuter train stop on my way home from work at theatre in the middle of the night because I was so hooked 😅
2. Unheimlich (=eerie, uncanny), a YA romantic thriller omnibus by Ursula Isbel. Got it on my 13th b'day. Still reread it every once in a while.
3. After Dark and/or Dance Dance Dance, my two faves by Haruki Murakami.
The tagged. A new #HarukiMurakami book is always exciting for me.
It was published in Japan last year, but the German translation (Die Stadt und ihre ungewisse Mauer) just came out at the end of January 2024.
(I'll wait for the paperback before I acquire it, though).

Cool question! - But no, none. I have three tattoos atm and have planned more, but no book related ones till now. The tattoos I have and the ones planned are quotes by Marilyn Monroe, song lyrics and animals.
I noticed the #JanuaryinJapan reading challenge on Instagram, and it motivated me to read more translations! This month, I‘ve read Sweet Bean Paste, All the Lovers in the Night, The Kamogawa Food Detectives & Before the Coffee gets Cold.
Any suggestions for my 1st #HarukiMurakami novel? I‘ve heard his work is VERY misogynistic.
"Lies are terrible things. One could say that the greatest sins afflicting modern society are the proliferation of lies and silence. We lie through our teeth, then swallow our tongues."---Haruki Murakami Hear The Wind Sing
30. International Jazz Day for #MayMontage
Most of Murakami's works have been influenced by music, most notably Classical and Jazz.
It's a widely known fact that music lover Murakami owned and ran a Jazz Bar in the 1970s.
