I would like to follow more people on Goodreads or storygraph especially if you like fantasy and historical fiction I just love to see what other people read #books #booksky
A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance. @MasayukiTsuda2 #globalmuseum #books #travel #19thcentury
"It was written for its own time," I thought as the sci-fi book described scientists smoking indoors. A scene of regressive gender banter came next. "It's not written for me at all. I may get something out of it, but it wasn't made for posterity."
I've heard unenlightened views described as products of their time, often in the attempt to defend historical figures. In this case I'm reading a book that's come through time to be with me—written mid last century. I see the limits of the 1/2
Again, I finished "Drystone: A Life Rebuilt" by Kristie De Garis @kristiedegaris. In this inspiring memoir, she rebuilds her life like she rebuilds a wall as a dry-stone waller: each stone carefully placed. Heartbreaking yet courageous, her sincerity makes the book both painful and hopeful.
None of us are too broken to begin again. Rebuilding is possible, even late in life. Sometimes the most radical act is simply telling the truth about who we are.
It's going to be an interesting and lively conversation about my book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt, writing, publishing, life. Chaired by the brilliant Simon Kövesi. 1pm start.
I believe you can also ask questions vie the livestream.
Sådär, nu har jag lyssnat klart på Brandi Carlisles bok Broken Horses. Tror det var @LeoR1010 och en bekant i Australien som tipsade om den. Mycket bra, får 5/5 av mig. Plus med ljudboken är att det är hon själv som läser och dessutom sjunger massor. Alla låtar finns sen även som ett avslutskapitel med bara musik. Rekommenderas varmt! #books #bookstodon #lgbtq #memoir

I highly recommend Cast Me Gently by Caren J. Werlinger. If you are in need of a feelgood read, maybe Heart Trouble by Jae could be for you. Both definitely worth a read.
