#NewYearNewBooks

These 4 #Dream titles are on my Kindle TBR stack, so they are new to me. 📚📚📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚📚

TheDaysGoBy The Dreamers was such an interesting premise but kinda disappointing for me 10mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Perfect 😍 10mo

Packed out today. Hope our renters love these shelves as much as I do! 📚❤️ #moving #expat

sisilia They are so lucky to get those 5y
SomedayAlmost @sisilia I think so, too! I will miss them... maybe we can find a killer bookcase for the small study (third bedroom) in our new apartment abroad? 5y

#MyGeneration - well, roughly, the protagonist is certainly a few years older than I am, still, we were both young people when the Iron Curtain fell. I see myself as a Xennial, though - where the MC is Generation X.

DGRachel I was born in ‘75, so I fear I‘m firmly in the Gen X category. I definitely have the cynicism without the Millenial optimism. 😳 7y
julesG I'm right in the middle of the Xennials spectrum, born on '80. I often think I am more Gen X than Millennial, but then again, I know I am both. 7y
Megabooks Same here @julesG ! I always call us Gen Y, but Xennials is cooler. 👍🏻 7y

Bookcation74 New term to me (and it applies to me) but the #jordancatalano hashtag says it all!! 7y
MarriedtoMrT 83 here and I‘ve never felt full millennial. Love this term! 7y
Jas16 Never heard this term and apparently i am a member 7y
Lidia I recently discovered I'm a Xennial and it makes sense. I never fully identify with Gen X or Millenials 7y
rabbitprincess I'm a few years past the end of that definition but would consider myself to fall under it rather than "millennial". I remember life before the Internet ? 7y
dariazeoli Today I learned I‘m a Xennial! 7y
Bradleygirl Solidarity; 1979 here. My class was the first one at GaTech not allowed to *not* have a computer. 7y

This is normal after a trip home, right? 😉😉😉 (when you‘re an expat Living somewhere with limited releases in certain genres, massively delayed releases in others and abysmal Amazon.... you do what you gotta do!!). The top is a calendar that was cut off in the crop... 😉

Apparently foreigners are scary, scary people who must be registered (India - foreigner paperwork today).... ahh, the life of an expat. On the bright side, I have this which I've waited to read for years because for reasons I've never quite figured out, it was banned in China while I lived there. The world is weird! #expat

Come, Tell Me How You Live (Revised) | Agatha Christie Mallowan
post image
Pickpick

I bought this on a whim and fell completely in love with it. Non-fiction, this is Christie's account of her time spent living and working in the near east with her archaeologist husband, Max Mallowen. If you've been or are an expat, you'll laugh out loud at her tales of trying to find off season clothes or explain foreign food tastes. Really lovely short book that captures the essence of living away from home & leaving your heart there. #expat

Anyone lacking overwrought nostalgia for her study abroad jaunt in Britain will likely find this book intolerable. It certainly fails the test of time: Today 99% of the narrative would be obliterated with the sentence, "Then I consulted my iPhone and all was well." #travelmemoir #expat #overthepond
