Shelf Respect | Annie Austen

On my recent trip, I stayed at a friend‘s cousin‘s apartment—and I immediately told my friend that her cousin has great taste in books! This is just a sampling of the shelves—including Madeleine L‘Engle, Ursula K. LeGuin, N.K. Jemisin, Barbara Kingsolver, Mary Oliver, Louise Gluck, John Steinbeck… and so many more! It was a delight to see such a collection of friendly faces on someone else‘s shelves.

Ruthiella Nice! I love looking at other people‘s shelves and especially if I like their taste. 3mo

I finally broke my #bookbuyban for 2022, it‘s been an awful year already so far, my birthday was a bust with us being sick, so I thought bugger it. 12 books later…They range from Crime to SciFi to Fantasy & Historical. With 3 signed copies! The hubby is going to South Australia for almost two weeks to see his 93yr old Nanna so it‘s a perfect time to tempt my reading brain with some new reads. Fingers crossed it gets it moving again🤞🤞🤞

TrishB Always a good thing to try! 3y

Mehso-so

This is more of a stocking filler for the bibliophile in your life who you don't know very well, I'd say. It's not very in depth, just a collection of observations, lists and quotes about reading. There's a weird tendency to believe that people who love books are morally superior, and parts of this book indulge jokingly in that. All a bit hyperbolic and for a particular sort of reader for whom “being a reader“ is an identity.

Okay, I am entertained by the fact that Bloomberg have/had a Billy Bookcase Index, demonstrating exchange rate fluctuations in real terms by comparing the prices of IKEA bookcases.

All of ours are Billys, as you can probably see! Iconic. We actually made my dad the gingerbread flatpack furniture as a silly Christmas gift, and obviously picked a Billy!

Here is the absolute STACK of books my wife got me (with help from the last of my February book budget) for the UK #WorldBookDay -- which is apparently a different date to everyone else? A nice display of my random taste in books, I think.

Shelf Respect is very titbit-size and not terribly worth the buy so far. Not really insights, just "I love books, you love books, aren't we clever?"

Pst, #BunniesofLitsy, Hulk's showing off her smarts!

Wild Truth | Carine McCandless
post image

Chris McCandless und seine Geschichte und vor allem der Film "into the wild" haben mich sehr berührt. In diesem Buch berichtet uns nun seine Schwester, wie es zu seiner "Flucht" in die Wildnis kam, sie erzählt über ihre Kindheit, geprägt aus Demütigungen, Schlägen und Missbrauch.
Es wird wahrscheinlich keine leichte Kost, bringt uns Chris aber wieder ein Stück näher.
Und jeder der den Film noch nicht gesehen hat:
Anschauen!

Ich habe dieses Buch in einem Rutsch gelesen. Keine leichte Kost, Armut, Misshandlungen, Drogen, Prostitution und immer wieder große Enttäuschungen auf dem Weg zum Glück...
Ein Buch das mir noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird.
Unbedingt lesen!

Das Buch hat mich von Anfang an gefangen genommen und ich konnte es nicht mehr aus der Hand legen!
Beklemmende Stimmung, klare Sprache und eine präzise Beobachtung von Beziehungen und Kommunikation!
Absolute Leseempfehlung!
Ich brauche mehr von Celia Fremlin!
