Best decision of my uni time was spending a year abroad at UW LaCrosse. They have their annual fundraiser today, a great way to give to the International Education program: uwlgivingday.uwlax.edu/giving-day/1...

Today's bookpost (not the Nobel Prize winner - congrats Laszlo Krasznahorkai), which I'm super excited about:
the German Büchergilde Gutenberg edition of Colum McCann's Twist (tr. Thomas Überhoff), and yes, the hole goes all through the book... stunningly sparkly, too.

I love pre-ordering on days when publication day posts appear 💙, this time from the comfort of a small café off the hustle and bustle of downtown O. Cannot wait to add this new Colette Snowden book to my Bluemoose bookshelf.

That awkward bookaholic feeling when you take a coffee/reading break (to make your tbr pile smaller), only to get an e-mail that another book is on its way. 🤣

Anna Elendt, from lane 1 to GOLD (100 breast). "If you have a lane, you have a chance." 🏊‍♀️
Pure joy. Screen shot of Anna Elendt after winning the 100 breast at the World Championships. She just stepped out of the pool, has a German flag around her shoulder, and a big smile. Screenshot of Anna Elendt's medal ceremony.

Went downtown to pick up some meds for my mom, and almost went past the bookshop... just kidding. Bought @rebekkaendler.bsky.social Witches, Bitches, It- Girls, and Colson Whitehead's Harlem Shuffle (and two more from the charity store - oops).

Ghost Mountain (#Büchergilde edition) arrived. The quarterly magazine features 2 pages of info/review that ends w "this way he proves just how much of a variable and intricate author he is - and what experiences await the readers when they join @ronanhession.bsky.social on literary walking tours."

It's book fair weekend in Leipzig, so the perfect time to visit a local Indie bookstore (or two) and buy some new books 😎. Saw Elizabeth Heichelbech's Chopin in Kentucky (tr. Lena Riebl) as a staff's pick at one of my favorite bookshops in town. Love to see it.

I feel quite relieved to live in a community in Northern Germany that isn't completely manipulated and radicalized by pure hatred, lies and fear. Little spots of hope. Nevertheless, the candidate from the fascists is going to the next Bundestag 😞🤮.
Election results from my polling place: 1st place SPD, 2nd Greens, 3rd CDU, 4th Linke, 5th blue fascists, 6th FDP, 7th BSW

In der Mitte des Buches steht ein Mädchen mit Brille "on pointe" im Balletoutfit. Von ihr ab gehen blau gelb rote Strahlen. Über dem Mädchen steht Chopin in Kentucky Roman, unter ihr Elizabeth Heichelbech Schöffling & Co.

Cover des Buches Mickey und Arlo. Auf dem Einschlagbild stehen 2 Frauen (eine blond im hellen Minikleid mit langen Ärmeln, die andere dunkelhaarig in rotem Minikleid mit lanfen Ärmeln) uns abgewandt vor einer grünen Wand und rahmen so quasi eine weiße Tür ein.
