pickA short but very thoughtful book. I clearly think that it would be good to read it more than once. There's just more to it than one can get by only reading it once. Lots of symbols and things unsaid. Beautifully written, but if you hear the author reading his text - that's almost perfection. If there's going to be an audio book of this one, Perl should read it himself.

The last song for this years #TurnUpTheBooks are The Chainsmokers with Roses. Not really a song I like, but when I read the lyrics, I had to think of Andri Perls new book. Especially this part
Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time only we knew
Hideaway
let me think of the daughters search for her father.

so-soThis book is one huge Trigger Warning. First of all, it's about abortion. Second, the MC is totally immature and unlikable. That's what many reviewers criticise about the book, but in my opinion, what's what the whole story is about. The original title translates as “I refuse to think“ and fits the book much better than the German translation. It also depict Elstads idea behind her work - showing us that there are ⬇
My challenge books for November are the tagged one for #TurnUpTheBooks - I got the song I Just Wanna Run by The Downtown Fiction and if you take a look at the original title I think this one fits.
For #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin I got a biography about Mozart und the Namiya General Store.

My book for #TurnUpTheBooks in September and Augusts #DoubleSpin 💛
This book is great in many ways. The setting is superb - inspired by the real events of the French Revolution. The characters are children of their time in many ways. The world building is amazing and fascinating. The writing fits the events and the plot.
Of course I'm going to read book two. What a question!

The song for Septembers #TurnUpTheBooks challenge is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands - Last Night by Good Charlotte ♥️
The book that immediately came to my mind was actually Augusts #DoubleSpin - Soul Sucker by Dan Dreyer
I only recently managed to get myself a copy of this book, and have already read a couple of pages. ⬇️
pickThe last part of the trilogy was my favourite. I got a better feeling for the characters and the story, and got more drawn into the book than before. Not my most beloved series in the Star Wars universe, but I still really liked the characters and how it all turned out.

Eagly! 😍 My song for Augusts #TurnUpTheBooks is Wig Wams Do You Really Wanna Taste It - which is also the intro song for DCs Peacemaker series. Love the show, love the song.
And what popped up in my mind? Thrawn and his crew dancing the Peacemaker dance 😂 Well, I guess I got a match. And a dancing Thrawn in my head 😅

Everyone is welcome to join in on these challenges. Nothing is Mandatory... Just have fun and read.
so-soThis book was my choice for #TurnUpTheBooks and on ok read. The setting and the historical background is pretty interesting, and I wished there would've been more of it. The story itself is somewhat based on the authors own experiences during the Vietnam War, but sadly has too much of a Rambo touch. There's also no real climax and story just happens without involving the reader very much. ⬇
