Welcome to Litsy!

Fourth stop… moon palace… super cool store highlighting local authors and queer authors!

In 1960s' New York, young orphan M.S. Fogg is trying to cope with an existential crisis after his uncle and last known family member dies. Motivated back to life by his first love, he starts working for a disabled rich old man who introduces him to an unbelievable story spanning on three generations and hiding the key to uncovering the mysteries of his own existence. This author is such a great storyteller.

This is my favorite book read in December!

I love a good coming-of-age story, but this goes beyond. It also has a cool ending.

This was a rare cover-buy and it paid off!

Thank you @Andrew65 for hosting #12BooksOf2021 !

34 books read in April. 11 from TBR lists, 5 were audio books.
Favourite Books: Clans of Tokito by Caroline Brinkmann, Second Sister by Chan Ho-kei and A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum. But I had a lot of great books this month. Once again, it's hard to choose.

Now on to May!

The first Paul Auster I read in English. Went better than expected 👍

The book needs some time until one gets the whole picture, but since we're talking about Paul Auster, nobody will be surprised by that. I loved how everything comes together. Also, the struggles Marco has to go through, helped me a lot with dealing with my own. So this book came at exactly the right moment.

Some of the books planned for April. More ebooks than physical copies this round 😅 Again, I planned so many books, I totally stress myself out 🙈

Early morning reads at camp with my best doggo. 😍🐶
I‘m not usually a fan of flowery writing, but I‘m starting to get into it here. Hopefully the interest continues and I can finish the book!

After my book club meeting yesterday I went on the hunt for our next selection...and found these instead. It‘s hard to resist those Penguin Ink covers!
See any favorites?

Since this was my first Paul Auster, I don't know how it compares to his others. I wish there was something between Pick and So-So because I was intrigued by it, but I wouldn't tell anyone to go out of their way to read it. I figured out who Mr. Blank was at what seemed like a pretty early point in the novel, but still appreciated how #Auster wrapped it up.

Should I read another by #PaulAuster?
