Welcome to Litsy!

This is a rather large book, that on top of a very busy several weeks, is why it took me a while to finish. But Walter Moers did not disappoint, just like with Captain Bluebear, I was transfixed by this adventure. Rumo is a different character entirely, unlike Captain Bluebear who finds himself in crazy predicaments seemingly by accident, Rumo runs toward them headlong with the intent to either prove himself, to survive, or protect his friends. ⬇️

Midnight was very cozy with my book in my lap 😻🐈‍⬛

Love reading on the beach ❤️

Kids have been on summer break since last week, they‘re sleeping in and I‘m enjoying some me-time before CrossFit 😁

As much as I loved the last book I read, there were a lot of sad moments. I‘m in need of a palate cleanser and since “The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear” did that for me, I‘m finally going to read book 2 in the Zamonia series. I read that you don‘t have to read these books in order, but it‘s ideal because there are surprises that are more enjoyable when you‘ve read the previous books 😁

A very short letter-like telling of how Christm… ehm Hamoulimepp is celebrated in the Lindwurmfeste (no idea how to translate that 🤯). This is a fine criticism of our overboarding Christmas celebrations and shopping-mania thrown in together with some leftover ideas about Zamonia. I liked it!!! 🚪🐲🏰

This (his)story of the Zamonian Christmas comes along with taxonomy plates of the some described things or animals. Like most of the Walter Moers books, they are beautifully illustrated. 🎨🎨🎨

I don‘t know why the other review have been this bad. I didn‘t expect this novel to be a Zamonien one and I read the repetitions and lists of words as an expression of the sleeplessness of Princess Insomnia. I mean what what else would you do if you couldn‘t sleep for 18 nights in a row? Maybe I liked because I have a liking for languages and their varieties. The only thing the came a little bit abrupt was the ending.

I always like the Walter Moers books because hhey are always beautifully illustrated. The paintings in this one are even coloured, normally the drawings are only black and white.

1. Lately I‘ve been into seltzers, specifically High Noon. They‘re low calorie and don‘t give me acid reflux lol.

2. Tagged. Such a fun read!
