pickIn the late 1920s, Czechoslovakia has been newly formed and a young wealthy couple decides to have a house built. Their fate and that of the house is followed over the years to 1990. I really liked this. Great character development and enough plot to move things along nicely.
pickA beautiful but sad story about this couple who lost contact during the war. They will meet again but in special circumstances and you will see that encounter in the first chapter. Then, the story goes to the past to know how Lanka and Josef met and what happened to them. It is emotionally intense. Reading about Prague and Terezin made me remind my visit to those places a couple of years ago. 4⭐️
A day late, organizing some books, and I found this for #coverlove #hat

pickWe have a fantastic novel to discuss this week. Laurent Binet's debut novel “HHhH“ has been on both our radars since its release over a decade ago and our high expectations were met and exceeded by this brilliant, thrilling, and important book. We highly recommend this book and we hope you enjoy our conversation about all things “HHhH.“

pickInteresting intersection of philosophy and psychology and historical fiction. Also interestingly found out it's Ari's favorite book. Enjoyed the insights into each character's mind and worldview.
First book of quarantine.
In my old age, I have come to believe that love is not a noun but a verb. An action. Like water, it flows to its own current. If you were to corner it in a dam, true love is so bountiful it would flow over. Even in separation, even in death, it moves and changes. It lives within memory, in the haunting of a touch, the transience of a smell, or the nuance of a sigh. 👇🏻

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
