pick

can‘t believe it was my final read for #12Littens12Books! I really enjoyed reading it because the 18 snippets into rich white french bourgeoisie were so well written you got swept along by the skill alone. This is obviously destined to be adapted to screen. Also: do not read if you‘re planning on getting married soon. Ending up as unhappy, frustrated, and unlikeable as ANY of these 18 characters would be my biggest fear for silver- and old age!

rockpools How‘s #MountARC going? It always looks like you‘re zipping through them! 4y

julesG @Cinfhen It's working fine. It's just the book selection that's making this drag on. There's only one book I'm really interested in, the last one in the round. @Maike selected it; she picks great books with less than 200 pages.

julesG @rockpools #MountARC has risen to 96 books. 🙈 I think it would be best if someone changed my NetGalley password. The non-fiction books are always easiest to go through though - and that's counting trying out a recipe or a crafting technique. It's the ones that looked interesting (cover, blurb), but don't deliver that trip me up. That and all the interesting looking books that I was not approved for and then buy/borrow to read while they're hot. 4y

rockpools @julesG Wow - good luck! The problem is (I find) you need to log in to leave your reviews - and then it all goes pear-shaped! I know what you mean about the ‘look interesting, don‘t deliver‘ ones - it becomes such a chore to get through them, but you really feel you *should*... I‘m sure the cats will help 😺 4y

julesG @rockpools That's exactly it. Even before you log in they tangle the bait in your face. And then I feel obligated to read the ARC. 4y

Milch und Kohle: Roman | Ralf Rothmann

pick

Not my preferred reading material, but I can recognise good writing when I read it! Rothmann manages to show beauty in a dark and somber story, highlighting wondrous details and joy in everyday occurrences.

Heideschrampf I‘m glad it wasn‘t too depressing 5y

LittleBug @Heideschrampf it's a little darker than I usually read, bit the writing made up for a lot!☺️ 5y

so-so

I really wanted to like it, cause the idea is good, but K J Fowler just ain't as good a writer as Miss Austen is... by far. Meh.

Gl�cklich die Gl�cklichen: Roman | Yasmina Reza

pick

I didn‘t like the story, but did enjoy the read, does that make any sense? There‘s a certain acceptance of affairs in there that just annoyed me, but there‘s also a sense of the absurdity of life in there that I really liked. I mean that in the sense that everyone has their own worries, worries that seem absurd to others. And there‘s so little understanding for each other, even though we‘re kinda all in the same boat...

In the Pond | Ha Jin

so-so

Not too sure about this one...liked the first half, got annoyed with the second half... I think I liked Jin‘s writing style, but the characters became too much like caricatures to me.
Very curious to see how the others in our #12Littens12BooksRound2 like it...

#12Littens12BooksRound2

rockpools I only forgot to pick up Twiglets just now. Knew there was something important 😋. Believe it or not, I‘m off to the gym for a ‘journey appointment‘ (whatever the heck that is). THEN I‘m partying 🥳 🎉 5y

julesG @RachelO Enjoy the journey appointment and the party afterwards. I've done more DIY today, in between feeding the poor teenager with braces and loose teeth, and diarrhoea. 😒 5y

rockpools @julesG urrgh! Think you‘ve both earned a party this evening- that sounds nasty. Hope they‘re feeling better soon. 5y

julesG @RachelO Thanks. We'll probably watch a film tonight. It's Film Friday. 5y

Lynnsoprano Those look yummy. We left home early this morning for our son‘s, and I forgot my snacks 😜 Hope your teen is feeling better soon. 5y

julesG @Lynnsoprano Thanks! He's on the mend, I think. 5y

gradcat Ok, what exactly is #LitsyPartyofOne? I think I‘m missing out on something.... By the way, Julia: is your TBR list up to date on Litsy? ♥️ (edited) 5y

julesG @gradcat Litsy Party of One is like a weekend readathon. You're celebrating being an introvert and reading. My TBR is relatively up-to-date, I'll go through it again. Give me an hour. 😉 5y

gradcat @julesG Thank you, Julia!! 😘 Oh, and—can anyone just “do” #LitsyPartyofOne? (edited) 5y

julesG @gradcat sure. Anyone can join in. Readers love to party. 😁 5y

gradcat Thanks again! 😉 5y

julesG @gradcat Just in case, the TBR is up-to-date. After my big purge at the end of last year it's in much better shape. 😬 5y

gradcat @julesG Thanks for the update, Julia—good to know! I had the same thing happen right on New Year‘s Day...great specials on books were offered at Amazon, and I couldn‘t resist! 🤣♥️ 5y
