The books I'm most interested in reading from the Man Booker International longlist. Should be totally doable 🤣 #MightBeLuckyToReadOne

batsy @sisilia Yes! Interesting premise and I've been meaning to read her earlier books. 7y
BiblioLitten Frankenstein in Baghdad for me! 7y
Simona I liked Vegetarian, but from this year‘s list I‘m least interesting in White Book ... 7y
batsy @BiblioLitten I'm excited about that one! 7y
batsy @Simona I was also on the fence, but was persuaded by a review by Deborah Levy in the Guardian 🙂 7y
BarbaraBB Good to know that you made a selection I can follow :) I have heard good things about the Binet! 7y
Bertha_Mason I'm really excited for Frankenstein in Baghdad myself. ☺ 7y
Simona Indeed, very praising review ... I‘m definitely going to read this one as Levy put it - ‘secular prayer book‘. Thanks for mentioning this review 🙏 7y
batsy @BarbaraBB 😆 I guarantee that you will be the one to read all of these and I will be following your reviews to see which ones I can read next year 😂 7y
batsy @Bertha_Mason It sounds very promising; I have high hopes :) 7y
batsy @Simona You're welcome! It's such a lovely review, it made me want to read it. 7y
BarbaraBB Oh no, I can‘t manage more books on my TBR 😀 7y
AnneCecilie I find "Go, Went, Gone" and "Vernon Subutex" really interesting. Probably won't get to them until this summer. I read Jenny Erpenbeck's "End of Days" just last month and really loved it. 7y
LeahBergen My brain instantly went to Crime and Punishment when it registered the axe in this photo. 😂😂 I‘m Dostoevsky-ed! 7y
Moray_Reads @LeahBergen me too! I thought the White Book was beautifully intricate but I haven't read any of the others! 7y
batsy @AnneCecilie That's good to know about Erpenbeck :) Despentes has become a kind of auto-buy author for me. 7y
batsy @LeahBergen Me too! There's another cover for this book but I went with axe because Dostoyevsky-ed 😂 7y
batsy @Moray_Reads Glad to know that you read White Book and liked it! It's an intriguing concept. 7y
Faibka @batsy @Simona @Moray_Reads that‘s why I love Litsy, now I‘m very intrigued about this book and adding it to tbr. I‘m also reading Levy‘s review, thank you so much! 7y
batsy @Faibka My pleasure! The joy of Litsy, being exposed to so many books 🤩 7y
ValerieAndBooks I‘m with @LeahBergen about the upper left book — immediately thought of Crime and Punishment 😆!! 7y
saresmoore I missed this post AND the MB Int‘l Longlist! I want to read all of these very much. 7y
