Okay, here‘s my complete #christmasbookhaul. Now, I realize the Mussolini book is a bit of a strange one. But I am currently reading Kaputt, set in WWII, and the main character (the author, Malaparte, as this book is written from his experiences) was an Italian reporter, and Il Duce is frequently referenced, and I realized I knew nothing about him. Also, it occurred to me that it would be informative of how a fascist dictator came into power.
Another book I got for Christmas. I wonder if anyone here has read it. #bookhaul #christmasbookhaul
Another Christmas present, this book looks promising. Also published by NYRB Classics, who put out some really great works. Right up there with Dalkey, imo. Translated by Grossman, I had also recently purchased her translation of “Don Quixote,” which I plan on reading next year. 2025 is shaping up to be the year of the weighty tome, for which I am quite excited. #bookhaul #christmasbookhaul
One of the books I received as a Christmas gift. Looking forward to tackling it in the upcoming year. I do prefer long and challenging reads, so we‘ll see how it measures up, as it‘s been compared to some of my favorites (Infinite Jest, Gravity‘s Rainbow and Moby Dick.) #bookhaul #christmasbookhaul
A very Happy Christmas to my Litsy family! 🩷📚 I hope everyone is having a wonderful, peaceful, bookish sort of holiday!
Hubby spoiled me with lots of books to open this morning! 🤭📖 💚❤️🎄

My Christmas book haul for 2024. It was another year of getting very little reading done because it was just so busy. Kind of crazy how a new job combined with kids growing up and joining more activities can take over your life. Now that things have settled a bit, I'm hopeful that I will have more time to read in 2025! I've joined way too many challenges to try and push myself to read more 😆.

This is the Christmas and Birthday book haul I received this month! I think it is a nice mix of books. I've been in a huge reading slump (as can be seen by the fact that my last post was 3 month ago). I'm hoping this haul will help me get back into reading - although it's more a time thing than a want thing.
