The rain has stopped for what looks like long enough for me to walk to the shops without getting wet.
Each spring is signalled & beautified by this clematis in our front garden that (miracle!) I've managed to not kill
This 1947 Swedish novel, however, has none of the joys of spring. A woman looks back on an affair she had with her married college tutor, and given her adverse coping mechanisms at the point of narration, it's not going to end well!

pickAn unnamed narrator wanders the streets of 1880s Kristiana (Oslo) as an impoverished freelance writer suffering hallucinations and physical and mental weakness while on the verge of starving to death.
Personally, I would have given up long before I got to that stage, but that may explain why the author won the Nobel Prize for Literature and I didn't.
Jennifer, you‘re spoiling me with this embarrassment of riches. Thank you for this fun package that I received today. I feel so fortunate. 💕💕💕
pickMattis knows he isn‘t a good worker and that he isn‘t quite as smart as everyone else but it still bothers him that his neighbors all refer to him as Simple Simon. Still he has the birds he loves to watch and his sister who endlessly knits to keep them both fed. However when a stranger arrives Mattis‘s life feels more uncertain. A lovely book about an unforgettable character.
😅😅😅 The names in this novel are very very challenging!! This is worse than Russian names 🤣 Norsk is unpronounceable for me I need some time to get used to this 🥂
Starting my journey with KOK. My husband has been teasing me for having the series sitting pretty on my shelves for 7 years 🤭 They‘re the depiction of my true TBR-stacks struggle
