pickA collection of short stories told by Tevye, a Jew in Russian Empire of XIX century, a husband and a father of six daughters, trying to survive just above poverty and hunger by making and selling diary products. His life is mostly difficult and bleak and yet he tries to find light and joy in his life even when it‘s impossible. It is funny and sad at the same time, hopeless and yet full of hope #hanukkahchallenge #imthatjew #reread
pick4⭐️ Really enjoyed this #reread. I feel like I found new things in the book even though the story was the same. #2025 #bookclub #nonfiction #truecrime
I‘m already behind on my own schedule, but this evening I read a few letters with supper. In the 1927 letter, Father Christmas mentions the Polar Bear and the Man in the Moon playing snapdragon, grabbing and eating raisins or almonds from a burning bowl of brandy. The article linked in the comments includes instructions if you‘re looking for a new holiday game.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
This novel is a treasure in American Literature.

Happy December! I completely forgot to consider posting in advance, but I will be doing my annual reread of Letters from Father Christmas if anyone wants to join me. The schedule is just a general plan to spread the letters out over the days between now and Christmas. Please share your thoughts as you read!

pickIf you like Christopher Nolan‘s movies you will love this book. The plot consists of a scientist/professor who is kidnapped and sent to an alternate universe and does everything he can to get back to his own universe. It‘s mind-bending and action-packed. Love the thriller, suspense, sci-fi, and mind-boggling vibes in it.
