Believe it or not‼️😄 I am _finally_ starting with this one and really looking forward to it because the first one was so cosy and sweet although the topic/background of the topic was so severe.

I hope that it will be doing me good on this again very busy day.
Therefore it‘s good to know, that #24b4Extend lasts until today, 23:59 o‘clock. This might give me enough time to also sneak in some bites of chocolate 🍫 during reading. 😇

2 hours in. It‘s interesting but the different plot lines still feel a bit distant. I‘m not yet having a connection to one of the characters but I remember that it was the same with “The Spy who came in from the Cold” – and then suddenly, 40 minutes before the end Le Carré came up with this resonating moral discourse. So I am expecting something similar here.

May I count this for #24b4Extend even though it‘s not in my set goals, @Andrew65

Andrew65 Of course 😊👍 5y

“A society changed by terror, in which all – innocent and guilty – are extras to an impenetrable puppet game. In a cleverly spun web of private and political interests, the characters move between lack of conscience and charity, icy calculus and indifference. The threat of Islamist terror is becoming the backdrop for an unscrupulous secret service game.”

Since many of my hold-ons are available at my library I squeeze this into my #24b4Extend.

#24b4Extend-intermediate-status

✅ Finish „Gier“ by Marc Elsberg (audiobook)

✅ Finish Blake Crouch‘s “Dark Matter”

Still processing:

• Get between 100 and 150 pages read in

a) the 2nd “Pink-Rabbit”-book by Judith
Kerr
or in
b) “NSA” by Andreas Eschbach, which
consists of 796 pages in total

Makes roughly 37 hours and 25 minutes in total. I‘m thankful for that because it means my day was way more relaxed than I thought.

BookishMe 👍🏽👍🏽 Glad it's been relaxing ;D 5y
Buechersuechtling @BookishMe Thank you. So am I. Usually I‘ve got constant paperwork coming in, so it‘s special for me to “have a day off”. No paperwork, no medical stuff for me or any of my family, just usual chores like washing, cooking cleaning. For weekdays like this I am really thankful. 5y
BookishMe ❣️So happy for you! ❣️ 5y

Maybe no book to love, but definitely one that resonates. Its essence will stay.

The further one reads, the less scientific and more philosophical does the plot get. I‘m no scientist at all but I believe that it could be as Crouch writes it. And this is why after reading this story many things/everything is put into perspective.

For me it‘s a book about enjoying the here and now and making peace with one‘s decisions. #24b4Extend

HILARIOUS! Ruffled feathers have never been so amusing nor entertaining... If I may dare say, this is Emperor's New Clothes meets Elephant and the Blind Men 😂😉🤣

Plus I read the 3 issues on #SerialReader in an hour or so! Hehehe

BookishMe @erzascarletbookgasm oh yes! I was surprised how much I enjoyed it... Lol 5y
rockpools You‘ve convinced me to try it. Was going to give Wharton a miss, as I expected it to be heavy, but have just read the first instalment- it‘s making me laugh! 5y
BookishMe @RachelO I had the same impression esp after reading the plots of her better-known work. This short story was a complete surprise and so FUN! the next book I am reading is her travel memoir ;p should fit armchair travel? 😊😊 5y
BookishMe @RachelO we all can do with the laughs now 🤗💗🤗 5y

I seem to take 2x as long for what should be my daily clock in ;o 🤦🏾‍♀️
But hey! I completed the tagged #novella
Finishing 2 titles in 2 days is awesome for me... I may not hit target time but I am happily cruising the pages 😁😁
Those 5 are my #TBR for #24B4Extend, most are partially-read books ;p
