Here’s my contribution to #NovellasInNovember - Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark, 1981, a wonderfully clever story where life imitates art in the literary world #NovNov25 #reading #audiobook #BookReview #bookstodon

#NovNov25
So, I guess NovNov is what we are calling the successor to NaNoWriMo...
I was on a cruise for most of the month. But, there are interesting videos and events that were recorded and I am catching up on.
Hopefully I will be able to participate next year. Hopefully it was a success and will return.
Does anyone have any observations or experiences they want to share from this one?

Today's post is about another book which qualifies for two November events - Non Fiction November and Novellas in November (as we are allowed to include short non fiction works).

“There is no help for it: life has to be lived…” #GermanLitMonth #thomasmann #novnov25
This week, for German Literature Month, the focus is on the great writer Thomas Mann with a week set aside to celebrate his 150th birthday. Now to date, my only experience with his work is "The Magic Mountain", which I read back in 2015 (lordy, ten years ago!) I absolutely loved it, but have somehow never got to anything else by him.
