I‘m looking for to #WinterGames2024!
First time participant, so I‘m hoping to bring my team, #ChristmasChapterChasers headed by @StayCurious , some points next month!
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

#WhereAreYouMonday
This Monday I‘m in Northern Germany, outside of Hamburg with a newly separated mother of a toddler and her eccentric Aunt Vera, who came to the village as an ethnic German refugee from what is now Poland after WWII. A bit romantic comedy, a bit family history, a bit satire on society, especially city life vs rural.
pickThis is basically a love story set against the end of a divided Germany. I think it was well written. But tbh it took me forever to get into this and it might be my only Erpenbeck for the time being.

I am beyond happy that the #wintergames is back this year! I'm starting to get very festive already and this is always a highlight of my year
Thank you so much to @staycurious and @liseworks for hosting 😍
This is my haul from the SF convention I went to last weekend. I've been a good girl this year, partly because I did not manage to explore the bookshop thoroughly. It was either too crowded or I was running after an overexcited toddler. She's the one who found the 2 books with the graphic covers. She - and I - wanted all the books in this collection, but I whittled it to 2 😁. There is also 1 kids' book and 1 non-fiction ab. plurality in SF.
pickAn omnibus classic that combines two novels into one and was inspired by real-life people that author Isherwood encountered. In Mr Norris Changes Trains, a British expatriate meets an enigmatic man named Norris who is concealing secrets. In Goodbye to Berlin, the reader is introduced to a cast of Bohemian characters who would later influence the musical Cabaret.
