Welcome to Litsy!

#BookCoverChallenge
Day 119.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Thanks for tagging me @Yuki_Onna !👏🏻🖤

1. Tagged - I am half German & half Italian, and my German grandparents had all kinds of books around when I was a kid. Struwwelpeter is DEFINITELY a book that takes me back😂 #germantales - You better not misbehave or Struwwelpeter just might get you! ✂️ ✂️

2. Snowy and grey! You don‘t want to leave the house weather🌬❄️

What fresh hell is this?

This book of 19th century children‘s cautionary tales is terrifying. It must be seen to be believed.

Don‘t have nightmares.

1) can't remember which was THE first, but the tagged book was among the first. I had to learn reading the old German letters because it was pretty much a reprint of the very first edition.

2) Chernobyl and Challenger (6y/o), Berlin Wall (9y/o)

3) red onion syrup for coughs, tea and chicken soup

1) a scary German classic
2) both!
3) knitting, crocheting, weaving,...
4) by the sea, probably in a cottage somewhere on the British coast

Have a great Friday everyone!

When your husband notices your fascination with an odd German children‘s book and gets you it for Christmas! Happy Christmas Littens! 🎄

Have you read this?! "In this book disobedient children brought doom upon themselves in a variety of ways..." says Gustav in The Gustav Sonata, my most recent read. I keep stumbling across references to Struwwelpeter and feel like it's following me around, daring me to read it ??

These books, called Beaverdimes, were sold in drugstores and gas stations across Canada in the 1950s and 60s for ten cents. Some classic kidlit #cheapthrills.
