pickThe narrator is still living in her alternate reality of a daily returning November 18. How to spend the time when you‘re caught in that one day again and again?
It‘s a concept that I found fascinating and the author writes so well. The ending felt a bit hurried but makes me eager to read the third part!

so-soDeathly boring and mundane as this might have been, it has BOTHERED me. And that's something.
It's basically Groundhog Day if absolutely nothing of any import or interest happened, but the very NORMALITY of it all is what makes it so terrifyingly chilling.
This was not a pleasant reading experience, and yet, there is a talent to making a reader feel they are going slowly insane, so I can absolutely see this book's worth as an experiment.
Guys, I'm so bored.
Like... so bored.
This is literally Groundhog Day if NOTHING HAPPENED.
so-soTara lives November 18th over and over and over. I realize this is meant to be a seven-book series. The movement in book one is almost entirely internal - not bad, but not what I was expecting.
pickRan out to get book 2 as soon as I finished book 1. Tara continues to be stuck on November 18th, but in this volume she begins to plan out her life, how she will continue to live day after day. Book 3 coming out in the fall, and yikes! there will be 7 books in this series. These books are very different from anything else I‘ve read, and that makes them valuable to me.
pickCouldn‘t put this short novel down. The Danish author writes of a woman who is stuck on one day in time, every day for her is that same day. I of course thought it would be like Groundhog Day, but it‘s not at all as it‘s mostly about her feelings and thoughts and emotions. What to do about her husband and her future consumes her every waking moment. It‘s a thriller in an odd sort of way. Excited to read book 2!
The International Booker Prize Shortlist has been announced today
I loved On the Calculation of Volume so very happy to see that on the list.
I‘ve read Perfection, liked but didn‘t love as everyone else
Just bought A Leopard-Skin Hat so hope I like that
I‘ve seen some great reviews for Small Boat so might want to give that a chance too
What do you think of the shortlist?

This was good and frightening. A woman gets caught up in the 18th of November. Every morning she wakes up to the same day. She thinks of ways to escape and get on with her life. It is a quiet book, and somehow it felt believable. I do want to read part II!
#WeeklyForecast 14/25
I am about to start Somewhere Else of the #WP25 longlist. After that, I‘ll wait what books will be shortlisted and decide which ones to read. So far I am preferring the #InternationalBooker longlist over the #WP25 so I am having two more of that list lined up for this week!
