Moving right along!
Preordered Volume III this morning.

Tamra I ordered both 3 & 4 from Blackwells for November delivery, but now I‘m wondering what‘s going to happen if Cockwobble‘s stupid trade war isn‘t resolved re: small packages. 2w

merelybookish @Tamra Oh! The effects are neverending! 😒I also ordered from Blackwells but am in Canada.( I guess I should order IV.) 2w

Tamra @merelybookish indeed. Don‘t mess with books! 🤨 2w

Tamra Our exchange prompted me to check Blackwell‘s site and it looks like *for now* it won‘t be an issue. Btw, thanks for being such terrific neighbor cousins. This too shall pass. (edited) 2w

#roll100 really not for me. Too long, misogynistic characters, and a mystery that I didn‘t find that interesting. Onto the next!

PuddleJumper Ew. Hope the next book is better! 1mo

#CharacterCharm Day 13: #TimeSpaceTraveler - i think being stuck in just one particular day in time qualifies. Still don‘t know how i feel about this little book. Qualifies too for #ReadTheWorld2025 - Denmark - translated from Danish.

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

charl08 I like your cover more than mine! (And I don't know what I think about it either!) 1mo

Eggs Great pairing! 1mo

Brilliant. Engaging and thoughtful.

Hard to think of anything to add to the outpouring of Litsy love for this one!

Tamra My only gripe is the serial publication! 😅 1mo

Suet624 I wish I had liked this. 1mo

“I have exchanged my hope for a mood and a frying pan.“

Graywacke My favorite line in the book!! 🥰 Really. I had to share it practically everywhere ☺️ 1mo

TheKidUpstairs @Graywacke right?! How she managed to evoke humour, melancholy, and just a touch of despair in so few words. It's a practically perfect sentence. 1mo

Graywacke @TheKidUpstairs yes, agree. I loved the book. 1mo

Cliff hanger.

We, the Drowned | Carsten Jensen

pick

I read Moby-Dick when I was 13, and it instantly became my favorite book. I loved every aspect of it, and ever since, I‘ve been drawn to any book about the sea.

This one is set in a small sailing village in Denmark, and reading it is the closest I‘ve come to the experience of Moby-Dick. It‘s brilliant—spanning roughly a hundred years and weaving together generations of families and lives. The storytelling is deep, powerful, and unforgettable.
