Momo | 
I just saw this on a list of lesser known books people love and this is wonderful! (The top line is cut off but just says the title and author.)

pickHow can one not love this book? How can one not be touched by its depth and its wisdom? This book was owned by my mother for many, many years, and the pictures inside still show my early colouring skills 😉 Therefore, it was even more special to revisit Momo and Cassiopeia and all the others.
If more people lived by this book and what Ende wishes to make us realize, our world would be a different one.
pickWhat a great book about finding the time to be happy instead of always productive. Too bad that I think the grey men have already taken over the real world...

One of my favourite stories as a kid, before l fell in love with The Neverending Story.
This cover is from the film. I saw it only once decades ago, and never happened upon it again.
Have you seen it?
A little bit late like always. 🙈
Thanks @Cosmos_Moon for the tag. #thankfulthursday
1. Halloween won‘t be any different since we don‘t celebrate it. 😜
2. I am grateful for every night in which I get a good, deep 8-hours sleep. 😴
“People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else”
1. I am so happy for @LittleBug in my life! She just makes everything brighter and unpleasant stuff much more bearable 🤗
2. My structure clay to style my hair so it doesn't bother me with falling in my face! 🌟🙌🌟
3. Nice people in my courses I can fool around with^^
4. Seeing my family and some quality time with them (reason I tagged this book)
Saw this masterpiece in a bookshop today and I think I'm going to collect a few childhood- classics^^ I have almosr bo memory of the book beaing read to me as a child so I'm a little excited to read it from just an adult point of view #yay #classic #childhood
bailedI loved The Neverending Story but this was just depressing.

pickI hate this cover, but I loved the book. I finished this during #24in48, and given its message about time, found it ironic that I was tracking my hours & minutes spent reading it. 😏 This had a slow start for me, but I loved the ending. The themes it explores really made me reconsider the way I perceive time as an adult—spending or hoarding my time, whether I have enough time—there‘s a wonderful message here about living rather than scheduling.💜
So here are my finds at today's book market 📚💖😍
pickA book all about the power of time, and the horribleness of capitalism. Love it
For #top3mustread here are three books that I always recommend to friends.
Mini review: Written by the author of the Neverending Story, Ende paints a picture of a little girl who‘s greatest gift is that of listening. She helps everyone in her village by listening to them....until the Men in Gray come and make the villagers obsessed with time. Now Momo has to go to Father Time to save the village.

People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them any more. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had.
Since I misunderstood today's prompt of #FirstBooks here are some of my first books.
Only "Das doppelte Lottchen" and "Die Mondmuschel" were actually once my books, the other books I bought my kids because I loved them as a kid.

One of those books I used to love as a kid - but remember very little about now, beyond the terrifyingly creepy men in grey, who were out to steal your time. And a tortoise 🐢.
I really should reread this. #timeaftertime #augustgrrrl @Cinfhen

Ich lese nun seit fast einer Woche schon an "Momo" von Michael Ende. Das liegt aber nicht am Buch, welches mir bisher gut gefällt, sondern an der mangelnden Zeit. Ich hoffe, dass ich bald weiterlesen kann.
pickEin Buch, das viel mehr als nur ein Jugendbuch ist. Jede/-r sollte die klug erdachte, wunderbar-fantastische Geschichte mindestens einmal im Leben gelesen haben, finde ich. Ehrlich.
Heute, als Erwachsene, rührt sie mich noch mehr als als Kind.
Allein auf solche Ideen zu kommen: Graue Herrn ?, Kassiopeia ?‼️?
Ein wunderbares Buch über Menschlichkeit, das man unbedingt als Papierbuch lesen sollte.
Eine meiner Lieblings-Leseerinnerungen.
Nachtrag 2 zu meinem von @fraencisdaencis inspirierten Blurb:
Schon allein die Sepia-Gestaltung. Die Schrift hat die Farbe – und vielleicht auch der Buchschnitt. Das weiß ich nicht mehr genau. Aber damals war ich stolz so ein altes, wertvolles Buch lesen zu dürfen und anvertraut zu bekommen. Ich wusste zwar, dass es nicht RICHTIG alt war. Aber es sah so geheimnisvoll aus. Da wollte ich das einfach glauben. ?
Nachtrag 1 zu meinem von @fraencisdaencis inspirierten Blurb gerade.
Diese Ausgabe hier meine ich:
http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Michael-Ende-Momo-Bertelsmann-Verlag-HC-Maerchen-Roman-/0...
(➡️ Im Internet 🌐🕸 findet man ja nahezu alles. ☺️)
Inspiriert von @fraencisdaencis wollte ich ein Bild der tollen Ausgabe posten, die ich als Kind gelesen habe. Allerdings nach dem Film. Den hab ich zuerst gesehen. Im ?. Ich glaub, in den Weihnachtsferien. ? Also ist Momo für mich immer mit dem Gesicht von Radost Bokel verknüpft. Allein der Name‼️? Als Kind war mir klar, mit so einem Namen kann man nur Schauspielerin werden.?
Aber: jene tolle "Momo"-Ausgabe steht im ?-Regal meines Vaters.?
Ich lese seit einer Woche an "Momo". Bisher gefällt es mir sehr gut, und ich wünsche mir, ich hätte mehr Zeit zum Lesen gerade.
One of my favourite books as a child and Momo belongs to the small group of #child protagonists that stayed with me. #photoadaynov16 .
on the third chapter, and although it has some strange scenes of POC fetishizing (ugh), I'm really enjoying how cute and philosophical this book is
