Even though it's not my favorite book by Tokarczuk, it is still a very takarzuk-y book. It has all her elements: complicated characters, nature, history, magic, intertwined stories. Those stories show us that we all belong together somehow, that we all are connected. Even if it's only a tiny string. It's a slow book, like a fresh rainy afternoon in the summer. Actually, you can hear the rain hitting the leaves.

I'm going with 2 classics and one newer selection today:

1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (my husband loves it, and we read it every Christmas)
2. “The Tell-Tale Heart“ by Edgar Allan Poe (it's just so good!)
3. Flights by Olga Tokarczuk (It's too hard to pick a single story from this one)

Reportage from around the 1960s. Gives a view of Poland post Stalin. There is a general sense of decay in all the pieces and each piece has hidden depths.
A book to be dipped into and read when the mood fits.

Just a little tiny book haul today, because I definitely needed more books…

Popped into the library to pick up some ‘possibles‘ for the Women‘s Prize for fiction (and no I‘m not telling you how many library books I now have on loan!) and they had a book sale on, so I had to support, of course, by buying 5 books.

Young Queens is on the NF long list and came out today, and Mongrel because it‘s also rumoured for the Fiction Prize and sounds fab.

LeeRHarry I definitely felt that even though the Du Bois took some effort it was worth it in the end. Great haul 📚 😊 12mo
BarbaraBB I enjoyed Snap a lot! Also liked Flights, The Lowlands and Vitamine! 12mo
Hooked_on_books You nabbed some good ones! I know Love Songs is chunky, but I loved it and didn‘t want it to end. I also really liked Goodbye Vitamin. 12mo

Dense, reflective, philosophical. Longer and shorter personal and fictional stories and a brief history on plastination; an unnerving and haunting dissection of the human body and of human paroxysmal emotions.

"This always happens when she flies: she gets a bird‘s eye view of her whole life, of particular moments that you‘d think on the ground had been completely forgotten. The banal mechanism of the flashback, mechanical reminiscence."

Jari-chan Can't wait for my next Tokarczuk ❤️ 13mo
IuliaC @Jari-chan This one was my second and I enjoyed them both 😊 13mo
