#HyggehourReadathon

This afternoon I listened to the tagged book while I made beef stew (Julia Child), then during “hyggehourreadathon” my family watched the movie Suncoast, which left me crying. An interview with the film‘s writer & director:

A perfect hygge evening!

I have been in bed all day- just exhaustion as far as I can tell. Slept in very late for me.Too tired to read print but I have been memorized by this audio book.Karen Pirie has always been a fabulous read/listen. With this audiobook I am going back in time with her. A wonderful companion when in bed. #serieslove2024

Last week I went to a current exhibition about the literary couple Kurt Held and Lisa Tetzner who wrote some of the most famous German children literature. I actually saw the original drawing of the cover for “Die rote Zora und ihre Bande”. It can be translated as “The red Zora and her gang” but the English title is “The Outsiders of Uskoken Castle”, which sounds very weird to me.

Another great story in this series- good police procedure, against interesting Balkan background. But that ending 😢

Hairdresser reading. Last time in this salon, my SIL is selling up after nearly 30 years 😞

760 pages of politicking and scheming in a fictional Baltic state and surrounding countries, translated from Serbo-Croatian. It is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it has its moments, and it is also very engaging. Reading it takes a bit of stamina, but it is definitely worth it.

Excited for #Round17 #LMPBC #GroupS

Let me know what sounds good to you @Jerdencon @julieclair @Reggie

I did not know Agatha Christie had written under a pseudonym so that‘s interesting.
