A History of Loneliness: A Novel | John Boyne

pick

So I‘ll read anything John Boyne writes, obviously. But although I owned this one, I‘m not sure when I would have gotten to it. Reading about a catholic priest isn‘t at the top of my list. @emilyhaldi listed it on her #newyearwhodis list though, so I but the bullet.

Wow. Stunning. Boyne is truly one of the best authors of this generation. The way he writes about the struggles of a priest and makes it relatable is a true gift. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LeahBergen I love this pic! 4y

emilyhaldi I agree with you! I sat on this for so long bc the topic just didn‘t interest me... but I should have had more faith in Boyne 🙏🏻 Glad you enjoyed it!!! 4y

BarbaraBB I have felt the same but now I‘m sure I need to read it. My next one though will be

The Absolutist

Reviewsbylola That one is really good too! @BarbaraBB 4y

Thousand-Lives I also love Boyne, own this book, and have put off reading it for years. You‘ve convinced me to make it a priority for 2021! 4y

Kalalalatja I really liked this too! Have you read his newest?

A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom

Reviewsbylola No, I need to order it. I wish it had been a BOTM choice! @Kalalalatja 4y

Kalalalatja It didn‘t work for me at all, but I know @Cinfhen loved it 4y

Cinfhen I LOVED IT!!!! We really are out of sync @Kalalalatja but that‘s ok.... you‘ll always be my #LitsyDaughter 😘😘😘 BTW: Niki turned 28 yesterday!!! So crazy 😜 4y

Cinfhen And I liked this book. He writes the Catholic Church so well. 4y

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen congrats to Niki! 🎉🎉 and I think you have better luck recommending books to me than the other way around 😂 but like you say, that‘s okay! 💕 4y

Suet624 I still remember the main character sitting on the bus realizing that people were suspicious. Do I have that right? Made me feel so sorry for the guy. 4y

Suet624 Did you see the piece in the Irish Times about his experience with priests? 4y

A Piece of Danish Happiness | Sharmi Albrechtsen

I just signed up to #ReadingEurope2020, and I‘m excited! 🙌

@BarbaraBB asked for inspiration for Danish authors, so I thought I would compile a little sample of both classic and contemporay Danish authors, that I have read a liked/loved. There‘s a lot of crime/mystery writers in Denmark, but that‘s not my genre, so you‘ll have to find those for yourself 😅

List of authors in the comments 👇

Librarybelle

Kalalalatja 1. Hans Christian Andersen - read his fairytales!
2. Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) - most known for Out of Africa
3. Hans Scherfig - The Stolen Spring is the only book I had to read in High School Danish, that I ended up loving
4. Jakob Ejersbo - his Africa trilogy is considered a bit of a masterpiece in Denmark
5. Lene Kaaberbøll - YA Fantasy writer
6. Olga Ravn - contemporay, poetic, and a bit weird 5y

Crazeedi Thank you so much for the list! Very helpful to me for the challenge ❤ 5y

Kalalalatja Other noteworthy Danish authors (but not really my jam): Helle Helle, Dorthe Nors and Naja Marie Aidt - very Nordic, very contemporary, very minimalistic, very Danish 🇩🇰 5y

Kalalalatja @Crazeedi I‘m hoping other European littens will do the same for their countries, otherwise I‘m lost 😅 5y

ljuliel Nice list. I like #5 ‘s hair. It‘s beautiful ! 5y

Laughterhp Oo thanks for the post! I think I‘ll try to read Hans Christian Anderson! 5y

ljuliel Not to sound like a total Dipstick ( but it wouldn‘t be the first time ), where‘s the guy that wrote OVE from ? 5y

Kalalalatja @ljuliel if I remember correctly, he‘s from Sweden 😊 5y

ljuliel Thank you. My geography skills could use some polishing up. 🗺 🌎 5y

The Long Hangover: Putin's New Russia and the Ghosts of the Past | Shaun Walker

This is me today ☝️ I had five of my best friends stay at my apartment for the weekend, and we spent Friday eating pizza and drinking wine, and Saturday with eating, dancing and drinking 💃🍷🍸🍻

So no reading for me today, while I nurse my hangover, which #CutsLikeAKnife and mentally prepare for the start of my internship tomorrow! 🙌

A New Coat for Zsa Zsa | David James Sheen

#WinterWonderland My daughter, the one who thinks I have a “book problem “ has been hassling me to buy her a new coat...(I get endless texts with photos)& I keep explaining for the price of her coveted jacket, I could purchase my entire TBR wishlist!!!! And everyone knows, #BooksAreForever not so much a winter coat #SellMeACoat or #SellMeSomeBooks~ it‘s not a fair fight 😂

TrishB

Cinfhen It‘s faux fur!!!!!! In case you are all freaking out!!! 6y

vivastory Ha! You, my friend, have your priorities right! 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @vivastory 🙌🏻😂😂 6y

julesG Agree with @vivastory! 6y

Kalalalatja 😂😂😂 who needs a coat anyway, just stay inside and read! 6y

Cinfhen Words of wisdom my #LitsyDaughter xx @Kalalalatja 6y

batsy @Kalalalatja 😂👌🏽 6y

TrishB There‘s me thinking they move out, you live overseas, they have a job and you don‘t have to buy them things all the time! Parental goals.... 6y

Cinfhen Niki “knows” to ask for the big ticket items @TrishB because living in NYC is a constant money sucking vacuum!!!!! She won‘t ask for small items, like books😂😂never ends 6y

TrishB And obviously you can‘t see her cold ?? my son does ask for books - but they‘re academic text books and usually (dd a go! 6y

Cinfhen Exactly!!! But I can also say no to a coat that seems pricey beyond belief @TrishB 🙈🙄 6y

Cathythoughts Nice coats ! Your daughter has good taste.... I have 2 daughters & they love their style ( in this regard I‘m a pushover) 🙃🙄 6y

Cinfhen I‘m generally a pushover too @Cathythoughts but I‘m embarrassed to tell you the cost of these coats 😬😬😬im waiting for the BIG markdown 6y

TrishB I kept looking to see if I could see the price! Tell us when they‘re 50% down! 6y

LauraBeth I was always terrified to have an expensive coat in NYC because it would have to have contact with the gross subway seats! 😂 6y

Cinfhen Ha!!!! I‘ll try that argument @LauraBeth but knowing Niki she‘ll threaten to UBER to work everyday!!!! 6y

Blaire I‘ll give her that she has good taste. Maybe post Xmas sale? 6y

DivineDiana Now I‘m curious! Moncler? 6y

Cinfhen Close @DivineDiana Canada Goose 🙄 6y

DivineDiana I guess there‘s no harm in asking? 😉 6y

Cinfhen She‘s like a pit bull @DivineDiana she‘s been relentless😆 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Ok I feel like I NEED to know the price of the coats!! 🤣😂🤣😂 My youngest daughter does the same thing to me because I‘m a pushover!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘m #teamniki. A good winter coat is essential. I bought a new one on Black Friday last year and I‘m so glad I did! 6y

Cinfhen I‘ll let Niki know that you have her back @Reviewsbylola and I‘ll email you the price @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🤑🤑🤑🤑I agree about a good winter coat and Niki currently owns a nice North Face but that‘s no longer warm enough 🙄 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen she sounds just like my Claire!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Cinfhen @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Reviewsbylola @DivineDiana @Blaire @LauraBeth @TrishB @Cathythoughts so Santa was good to Niki and she got her coat❣️😂In truth my friend works at Saks and she used her Friends & Family employee discount bonus day for me 🙏🏻 6y

Cathythoughts Nice one ♥️👍🏻🧥.... Niki must be thrilled. Happy Christmas Cindy 🎄😘 6y

Cinfhen Thanks Cathy!!! It‘s the guilt of being 5000 miles apart @Cathythoughts Hope you have a wonderful day 💋 6y

TrishB Lucky Niki! They know a Mum‘s guilt a mile away! 😘 6y

LauraBeth Yay Niki! 🙌 That coat is going to need some new boots 👢 6y

Cinfhen Hahaha @LauraBeth she already hit us up for boots in October 😉yup @TrishB I didn‘t raise no dummy 😂😂 6y

Blaire Yes!! Love that you made it happen! She must be thrilled! 6y

DivineDiana It‘s good to have friends! Glad you were able to fulfill Niki‘s wish! ❤️👏🏻❤️ 6y

Reviewsbylola Yay Niki! 🥳🥳🥳 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen yay for Niki!! I do the same thing for my girls!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Cinfhen I‘ll let Niki know you‘re all pleased for her , Thanks @Blaire @DivineDiana @Reviewsbylola @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😘😘At least it was a winter coat and not a handbag 👜 😂😂 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen 🤣🤣🤣Yes!! And now she can‘t get upset when we send you stuff to her address!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Cinfhen Ha! Good point @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😘😘 6y

Motherhood | Helen Simpson

so-so

Today seemed like the perfect day to curl up with this Vintage Mini 💕 ( it was also a sweet gift from my #LitsyDaughter) In under 100 pages Helen Simpson is able to convey the beautiful, messy, exhausting daily joys and misery that encompass Motherhood. I related to Zoe ~ mother of 3 who is secretly dreading the day when her youngest no longer “needs” his mom, so she relishes the chore of driving her son, or acting as his personal assistant👇🏼

Kalalalatja

Cinfhen It‘s about creating moments and memories, which I believe is a gift & privilege. My so-so rating is because the author makes Motherhood sound like a punishment ☹️ 6y

AmyG Happy Mother‘s Day to you. 💐💐💐 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @AmyG special wishes for you as well ❣️ 6y

saresmoore I suppose I‘m still in the thick of it, but motherhood certainly feels like a punishment some (most) days. Ha! Much love to you on this Mother‘s Day, my wise & wonderful friend! 6y

batsy Happy Mother's Day 🌹 6y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @saresmoore @Reviewsbylola and much love to both of you😘😘😘and my only advise Savor these days, they grow so fast 😩 6y

MicheleinPhilly This made me smile so much. I‘m the youngest of 3 and my mom still introduces me to people as “the baby” (I‘m 40.) I broke a washing machine in my dorm when I went to college because I had no idea what I was doing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

Cinfhen Thanks, @batsy 💕 6y

Cinfhen Haha!!! I totally get that!!! You‘ll always be the baby @MicheleinPhilly NO MATTER WHAT!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Kalalalatja Happy mother‘s day #Litsymom! Hope your kids are extra sweet to you today 💕💕 6y

TrishB ❤️ it can be hard work, but worth it. My son is moving out in the summer and I‘m dreading it but excited for him. Have a good day 💕 6y

Cinfhen Oh @TrishB I feel your pain 😞my son is on a class trip and my older two are in the states @Kalalalatja so I‘m kind of all alone 😭😭😭😭thank God for my Litsy family 😘😘😘you guys are making this day bearable 6y
