#CurrentlyReading The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. Just started.

"… Anna had recently been learning to use these words [insecure, unrooted] in a different way, not as something to be apologized for, but as flags or banners for an attitude that amounted to a different philosophy… We've had the wrong attitude to the whole thing… what is this security and balance that's supposed to be so good? What's wrong with living emotionally from hand-to-mouth in a world that's changing as fast as it is?”

Book 7 is "Labyrinth's Heart" by M.A. Carrick, the third Rook & Rose book.

The cover of the book.

A face behind an intricate golden mask made up of threads of knot work not unlike Celtic braiding. Wings stick out over the ears, there are two swords worked into the design above the brow, roses between the swords and wings, and purple feathers erupt behind and above the head.

Audiobook version, of course. I expect to be behind the wheel for at least 20 hours over the next week. I'll probably knock this one off before tomorrow and then maybe start on one mentioned in it. I've never actually read any Jules Verne or H.G. Wells.🤔

Foto des Buches, auf dessen Cover drei seltsame Mischwesen zu sehen sind: waagerechte, halbierte hellblau-violette Blüten, unterhalb der Blütenblätter am Stielansatz jeweils ein Auge, der Stiel selbst verjüngt sich zu so etwas wie Schnäbeln. Das Foto liegt auf einem runden geflochtenen Untersetzer, neben dem Buch liegen hellorange Tulpen.

Reading this One Yellow Eye right now & it’s the perfect grief ridden, plague era Zombie valentine. What are you reading this weekend? #bookwyrm #bookstodon #currentlyreading #horror

A cover one One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford. It has a neon yellow cover with bright pink-purple letters. In the centre a mascara’s eye is open wide staring through a hole that looks like it could be a hole in the cover.

I just started reading Beautyland this morning. WOW. Only 30 pages in, and I'm pretty sure this will be among my favorite novels.

It deals with being an outsider. Not that anyone else here would know anything about that feeling. :blob_cat_giggle:

Ten books into the year - I feel like I have cheated a bit: Black Dog was more of a short story than a novella, let alone a novel - but The Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer will be my next book of 2026.
Although I am a huge fan of Bob’s work, I did find “The Satsuma Complex” a little underwhelming, but I feel the need to give Bob a second chance.

Nine books read so far this year, and my next ebook will be Black Dog by Neil Gaiman to complete the American Gods quartet

Auf meinem Nachttisch liegen gerade viele Bücher.
Unterschiedliche Stimmen, Richtungen, Tempi.
Manchmal weht der Wind mich zur Fantasie,
dann wieder zu politischen Fragen,
zu Geschichten oder zu Wegen durch Europa.
Früher dachte ich, man müsse bei einem bleiben.
Ein Buch. Ein Projekt. Eine Meinung.
Heute glaube ich:
Der Seitenwind weiß oft besser,
wann es Zeit ist, die Richtung zu ändern.
Nichts geht verloren.
Alles, was zu einem gehört,
findet seinen Weg zurück. 📖

Eight books into the year - and when you consider that my target is for at least nine each month, and January has about 400 days, you can appreciate how far behind I am on this - and this becomes the next book to escape from my teetering to be read pile!

The cover of my copy of Normal People by Sally Rooney

👍 This was fun. I actually liked the world build. Deducted points for dramatic third act break up cliffhanger though. On to the next bc of course it will be resolved! 🙃

Dorothy L. Sayers, Die neun Schneider (dt. v. Helene Hohmeyer), Fischer.

Die Lektorin hatte das Buch gestern für den Fotovorschlag aus dem Regal gezogen – ein guter Anlass, diesen Klassiker mal zu lesen.

Foto des alten Taschenbuchs, auf dessen Cover eine stark stilisierte Szene auf einem Friedhof zu sehen ist. Das Buch liegt auf hellblauen und weiß-grauen Stoffresten, daneben ein gelbes Maßband, ein roter Fingerhut, ein Stopfpilz, ein Stecknadelkissen mit bunten Stecknadeln und – hier besonders wichtig – eine Handglocke aus Messing.

"“Ezra Pound’s “All ages are contemporaneous” [...] is not the authorial claim of existing as a poet in all times, vates, omnipresent and omnipotent, in command of all eras and cultures and languages, with the right to commandeer them within your tome. It is the witness of someone who understands time as malady and trauma as the false friend of dream (traum).”

~ Eleni Stecopoulos - Dreaming in the Fault Zone
