What a sweet slice of life, depicting a mother watching her son work through the intricacies of figuring out his identity. She doesn‘t push or pull or try to direct him one way or another. Even though it seems pretty clear where he‘ll end up. She just sets up a welcoming place for him to land when he gets there. I LOVED it! 🥰

Butterfinger That is precious and so needed. 4d

My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

When you prepare your lessons with one edition and your students receive another edition… 🙈😤🙈
This definitely an interesting play about the hovering danger of an atomic bomb in the 70ies. I don‘t think it‘s funny, as it is declared a comedy, but definitely worth reading/watching. And unfortunately, it is quite up-to-dare again.

tpixie How frustrating to have two different additions, but it may also be interesting to compare and teach them about different translations. Right now I‘m reading Les Mis and comparing the different translations has been interesting. 6d
MariaW @tpixie The thing is I prepared my lessons with my edition. 🙈 And in that case language does not matter because it is the original. But I did check different translations, like you do now with Les Miserables, with the German translation of Pride & Prejudice and some of them were not good. 😤 5d
tpixie @MariaW Yes quality of translations can really make a difference !! How frustrating. Lesson planning takes so much time!!! 🫂🫂🫂 hugs 5d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just as enjoyable as the previous two volumes! The characters are lovable (even amongst their flaws) and still have their moments of humor. Here‘s to the next volume!

Dürrenmatt did write the 11th hour on the atomic clock directly into our memory - with satanic, ridiculous laughter.

Clare-Dragonfly Wow! I don‘t really understand what that means but it is certainly intense and evocative. 1w
MariaW @Clare-Dragonfly This play was written in the 70ies during Cold War and tries to make fun of the atomic bomb hanging over our heads like tge sword of Damocles back then. 1w

This was pretty dang cute. The KITTENS 🥺 There are only three volumes in this series (at least according to Goodreads) so I will finish it up sharpish. Thanks @JenlovesJT47 for the rec 😻

This is one of my favorites, if not my most favorite, in the Discworld series. Pratchett hit the nail on the head again. His take on government is spot on. As usual, there are laughs throughout the story. 4.5 ⭐
