Welcome to Litsy!

In one of my regular cafés, one of the baristas approached and asked me what I was reading. Upon seeing the cover of The Creator, their reaction was "Ew... that's horrid!" ? I suppose the cover is a little freaky.

This was... OK. Lots of interesting ideas and themes, but I felt detached from the characters and plot. They didn't quite ring true for me and I found reading it a chore.

⭐⭐⭐ 3 stars

It's possible that I liberated another book from Iceland.

Got some new arrivals today. Again, displayed in moody low lighting.

@PageShifter Thanks for the recommendation! 😊💕

Day 12 - #creator #nofemmeber

Obviously I had to pick up some books from a Reykjavík bookstore. ?

• Never heard of The Creator but it looks super quirky and bizarre so I had to get it.
• The Great Gatsby in Icelandic. I now own a copy in 5 (I think) different languages.
• A signed copy of From the Mouth of the Whale, shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2012.
