Euch allen ein schönes Osterfest!

Paperback copy of Mere Christianity, by CS Lewis.

A little too late for Lent, but I started rereading Mere Christianity. I genuinely already forgot what it's about. It's been years since I bought and read this.

Man, I really love sci fi bottle mysteries / generation ship stories! Mekke’s recent book thread turned me onto “Braking Day,” by Adam Oyebanji, and it was a delightful read. Recommended if you like that style of book. #bookstodon

Others in this style that I’ve read and loved:
- An Unkindness […]

Ah. This will not reflect well on me. But I now know Leïla Slimani and Laila Lalami are different people. The nanny killer novel and hit and run victim novel. Not the same person. #bookstodon @bookstodon

has anyone out there read House of Leaves? it's a mysterious, fascinating book that i love

now A24 is doing a movie, Backrooms.
the preview reminds me of that book, but apparently, this movie is related to an old 4Chan post?

Book cover for There Is Only the Sacred and the Desecrated by Mary Buchinger (Lily Poetry Review): Paul Nemser Book Prize, Honorable Mention. “A Book of Hours chronicling moments that mesh the physical with the spiritual. . . She penetrates the growth of a tree in good years and hard years by reading the formation of its rings as readily as she reaches into the life of Francis of Assisi, illuminating his understanding of the sacred, his ailments, and his love for and ministering to animals as well as people.”- Jennifer Barber. Poetry by the author of Navigating the Reach (Salmon Poetry, Honors, 2024 Massachusetts Book Award). https://lilypoetryreview.blog/lily-poetry-review-press/there-is-only-the-sacred-and-the-desecrated-by-mary-buchinger/

Book cover for Super Castle Fun Park by Daniel Zomparelli (Arsenal Pulp): The dead want to speak to you. But are you ready to hear their words? Super Castle Fun Park explores a group of people tending wistfully to their precarious lives. Dario is an aimless pessimist staying at a themed hotel who is tasked with the care of his aunt at the end of her life. Jeremy is Dario's anxious boyfriend who is trapped in his home, plagued by disturbing visions. Chelsea is an ornery medium who spends her free time on her phone trolling a group of misfits in an online game. Each of them is at the precipice of change, and the people they are interconnected to, including the dead, will be there when it happens. https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/S/Super-Castle-Fun-Park

TCL’s #6Degrees of Separation for April 4, 2026. From "The Correspondent" by Virginia Evans to "My Friends" by Fredrik Backman. This is a monthly link-up hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favourite and Best. Each month a book is chosen as a starting point and linked to six other books to form a chain. A book doesn’t need to be connected to all the other books on the list, only to the one next to it in the chain.

Jeg er næsten færdig med en kort historie om Italien og det giver stort indtryk om lige præcis hvor imponerende EU er efter tusinde år af mere eller mindre konstant krig i Europa.

Okładka e-booka Raya Bradbury'ego zawierająca trzy zbiory opowiadań: "Kroniki marsjańskie", "Człowiek ilustrowany", "Złociste jabłka słońca". E-book ma 598 stron.

Męczyłem się okrutnie, aczkolwiek te trzy zbiory opowiadań mają swoje "momenty", a także muszą przyznać, że są czymś więcej niż sci-fi i potrafią zwrócić uwagę na problemy, które są obecne także dzisiaj. Klasyka, choć dla mnie trudna do zdzierżenia i cieszę sie, że […]

The cover of an ebook. Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. Three horizontal panels shows scenes drawn from American neighbourhoods.

Feels like Patrick Ryan has written Anne Patchett's book. In fact she's on the front cover bigging it up. You know the drill: intertwined stories of honest but imperfect American families over generations. Great read. Highly recommended. @bookstodon #bookstodon #KeefsReads

Book cover for The Rayburn Affair by Laurie Petrou (House of Anansi): Forthcoming September 2026. When the iconic Shelby Rayburn and her husband, Oscar, make an appearance at an annual faculty party, Dr Ruth Morgan can’t believe her luck. The trio immediately hit it off, and an intoxicating intimacy develops between them, underwritten by a simmering sexual tension. Everything changes when Shelby makes Ruth an offer she can’t refuse—one that she can’t tell anyone about, including Oscar. As boundaries blur and secret alliances form, the dynamic becomes riddled with distrust and threatens to implode. https://houseofanansi.com/collections/anansi-books/products/the-rayburn-affair

Book cover for The Singles Tax: No-Nonsense Financial Advice for Solo Earners by Renée Sylvestre-Williams (ECW): When it comes to finances, single people can’t seem to get a break: whether that’s taxes, housing, retirement, or something as simple as a hotel room. With The Singles Tax, Renée Sylvestre-Williams uses her expertise as a financial journalist and a single person to explain how things got this way and what we can do to manage that tax, from personal finance strategies to pushing to change the tax code. https://ecwpress.com/collections/spring-2026/products/singles-tax

The Fool’s Ledge

The candles wait upon the floor,
For steps that never cross the door.
They light a fire meant to blind,
To steal the silence from the mind.

A mirror shows the world ahead,
A crimson thread you learn to tread.
But as you touch the glass to speak,
The edges break, the wood is […]

Halleluiah! An excellent review from Kirkus. Praise the gatekeepers!

To smile is a single condition,
A heavily managed position.
But the methods of dying,
Of breaking and crying,
Are endless in their repetition.

Kindle has a new "pin" feature, where you can put a pin in a certain highlighted text to make it (even) more easily accessible to refer back to. I'm not sure why this is necessary (you can already quickly find your highlighted texts, and there's bookmarks), but I'm mostly confused by the choice […]
