Librarybelle I placed two orders last night…spent way more than I should, but it was stress shopping 😂 2y

erzascarletbookgasm I am devastated. I‘ve been buying from them for years, now I‘ll have to be content with limited range of titles at slightly higher prices at our local Kinokuniya. Btw Barbara, I checked at my old address, there‘s no parcel from BD yet. It‘s probably taking it‘s time. 2y

Bklover This makes me so sad. It was a wonderful source for so many Littens! 2y

LeahBergen I‘m still grieving and raging. 😭 😡 2y

BarbaraBB @erzascarletbookgasm Really? Then it‘s definitely taking its time. I sent it a month ago! I‘ll check too of I can find a delivery time! 2y

BarbaraBB @Librarybelle I totally understand 2y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Have you had a chance to go to Tsutaya in Pavilion Bukit Jalil? It's not as extensive as Kino but they have sourced some interesting titles that aren't available in Kino and a good range of Vintage and Penguin classics. 2y

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy I‘ve not been there yet..one day 😊 2y

erzascarletbookgasm Barbara, the new owner said he took and kept some of our mails. I hope yours is among them! 🤞 I‘ll let you know once I meet up with him 2y

KristiAhlers This breaks my heart. I've gotten so many books from them! 2y

Tamra What???? Noooooo 2y

Tamra Any Litsy friends have ideas how we can buy UK books for shipping outside the UK? 2y

Balibee146 @tamra though I've not bought from them I saw another kitten suggest Blackwells. I will look for a link x 2y

Balibee146 https://blackwells.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/201188997-Shipping-and-delivery... 2y

Balibee146 @Tamra they do ship to the US.... Credit for suggestion of them to @Ruthiella on another post xx 2y

Tamra Thanks to you both! @Ruthiella @Balibee146 2y

Balibee146 @tamra lol just noticed the autocorrect of Litten to kitten 😻 2y

Tamra @Balibee146 😹 2y

LeahBergen I know!! 😫😫😫 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Uggggghh! I didn‘t even realize they were owned by Amazon 😭😡 2y

Aimeesue Boooooo. ☹️ 2y

Bklover I just ordered something about a week ago (it‘s been shipped) because I wanted the UK version - pretty cover. I‘ve loved ordering from them over the years. Either for the cover or because the paperback came out earlier there. And the free shipping to the US. 😢 @Laughterhp Me too! (edited) 2y

Bklover We only have until April 26th. 2y

BarbaraBB I so hope it will arrive safely - unlike last time! My parcel to you has been in the twilight zone since December 3. So frustrating 😫 2y

Rainy Tokyo afternoon just turned fabulous with delivery of this book from the #BookDepository! It‘s the illustrated hardback edition and I‘m so happy; I read it way back when in separate volumes and was just blown away. Looking forward to re-reading. 🌟😎💕

Still Born | Guadalupe Nettel

pick

Sometimes life doesn‘t work out as you planned. And sometimes that‘s ok.

Two women, best friends, who never intended to have children. But Alina‘s views change as she gets older, leading to a difficult, life-changing pregnancy that neither she nor the doctors foresaw. Meanwhile Laura unexpectedly starts taking on a mothering role to her neighbour‘s child.

I really enjoyed this. It‘s messy and complicated, and people change their minds and love

rockpools their children to bits, even as they think the worst or feel guilty or can‘t cope. It‘s a very different and non-judgmental look at motherhood and non-motherhood and mothering, set against the backdrop of Mexico City, and a society which expects a woman to become a biological mother.

The writing feels very real - the main character talks like a close friend, while, when she tells Alina‘s story it feels almost like a human-interest news report. 3y

rockpools And yet somehow it works to build a very affecting story without being manipulative or mawkish. Major content warnings for everything around pregnancies that don‘t work out as expected.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #FitzcarraldoEditions who gave me this as a free ARC. I read it in the space of an evening, which is very unusual. 3y

squirrelbrain Great review! 3y

Cinfhen Just ordered this one from #BookDepository - sounds promising 2y

rockpools @Cinfhen 🤞It did several things I wasn‘t expecting - so far it‘s the one I‘d like to win the International Booker, and I‘ll be very surprised if it doesn‘t make the shortlist. That‘ll stop that happening then! I need to review this for the IBP blog now, and it‘s so long so I read it, I should probably re-read. Hmm 🤔 2y

BarbaraBB Reading this now and loving your review. 2y

rockpools @BarbaraBB Thank you. I may re-read this. I think I‘d like it to win. 2y

Mayflies

JennyM I liked Mayflies too. Hope you are doing ok. X 3y

Cathythoughts Must look up Mayflies... glad reading slump is over 👍🏻❤️ 3y

Cathythoughts I see I stacked Mayflies after your review 👍🏻 3y

CarolynM @Cinfhen It's so good. Hope you like it if you get to it. 3y

CarolynM @JennyM Thanks Jenny, I'm fine. Just hoping the 7 days will be enough💕 It's a great book, isn't it? It's such a difficult subject but dealt with incredibly well, I thought. I really liked the way set up the conflicting loyalties and let all the different emotions and opinions flow without judgement. 3y

CarolynM @Cathythoughts Thanks Cathy, I am too. I'm much happier when I'm reading🙂 I definitely recommend Mayflies, I think you'd like it. 3y

Cinfhen I just bought it from #BookDepository 😜 3y

CarolynM @Cinfhen 🙌 3y

Jeg I‘ve been in a slump too. I think in May I read just 3 books. Not like me at all. I‘m into it again this month thank goodness. 3y

CarolynM @Jeg It was April for me, just lost the desire to pick up a book. Very unusual! Glad we're both back in the game now🙂💕 3y

Sovietistan: Travels in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan | Erika Fatland

In the hills of #Tajikistan cow dung is used for fuel,a professor freelances as a donkey driver and most villagers earn less than a pound a week and yet, its citizens appear to be the most hospitable & generous. I was amazed at how warm & friendly the people Erika encountered were offering her food & shelter when they had so little. Next I travel to #Kyrgyzstan #ReadingAsia21

Megabooks, Librarybelle, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

Megabooks How interesting! It does seem that the people with the least give the most. 4y

Cinfhen #TRUTH 🧡 @Megabooks 4y

squirrelbrain Sounds fascinating - I‘m going to have to see how I can get myself a copy.... 4y

Cinfhen I ordered it from #BookDepository @squirrelbrain 4y

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I‘d happily order it for you on BookDepository. It isn‘t expensive here. You want me to send it to you? 4y

BarbaraBB This book sounds amazing. I think there‘s a lot to learn from it. 4y

Cinfhen My copy is going to @Megabooks next @squirrelbrain otherwise I would have sent it to you!! It‘s super informative @BarbaraBB but really accessible and easy to read. I‘ve been breaking it up and im finding it‘s a great way to learn and digest the information. 4y

Megabooks I can send it to you when I‘m done @squirrelbrain 👍🏻 4y

squirrelbrain Aw you guys are all so lovely! I just checked on Book Depository @barbarabb but it‘s actually available on Amazon slightly cheaper now - they only had hardbacks last time I looked but now they have paperback. @Megabooks - it would have probably cost you more in postage from the US than the cost of the book! 🤣 Thanks so much though to both of you for offering - you ‘enabled‘ me into buying it. 😘 4y

Cinfhen I think I spent about $16.00 for the book @squirrelbrain and I definitely feel like im getting my money׳s worth and I‘ve just now remembered I haven‘t replied to your email 🤦🏼‍♀️will do so shortly 🧡 4y

squirrelbrain Got it thank you (the email!)...will reply soon.... 4y

Cinfhen Oh good!!! Looking forward to hearing back @squirrelbrain no pressure 😉❣️😘 4y

Megabooks Awesome!! 4y

Cinfhen It covers the 5 stans @squirrelbrain and each country is about 100 pages and there‘s nice maps and photos 😉the author is a good writer/ and she‘s had some crazy experiences to share. I‘m glad I picked this up from #BookDepository @Librarybelle @Megabooks 4y
