Day 22 - multiple editions
Day 20 - kick-ass characters
Day 19 - I’m over it (trying to take photos in the dark and the shortening days)
Day 18 - young adult
Day 17 - blankets
Day 13 & 15 - recommended and disabled character
I recommend all these authors books, like Game of Thrones but better. Glokta is one of the best disabled characters of all time and one of my favourite characters full stop. He might not feature too heavily in this particular book of the series but spoiler alert his influence is always felt.
2nd July 2021
Sharing some snippets of “Birthday Girl” with a quote translated by me (picture on the right, above the bookmark). I already read 10 short stories! They’re bizarre and I reason a lot while I read.
“What I mean is […] that a person, even if all their wishes are granted, can’t be more than they are. This is all.”
I love this quote because it tells me, that we are enough, our being is enough and don’t need “wishes”, something big, to feel or become complete.

Part 2 of my “Murakami Series”
I started reading “Blinde Weide, schlafende Frau” - “Blinde Willow, sleeping woman”. It’s a collection of short stories. I read four, I think, and liked Birthday Girl the most so far! I love how I learn about people, culture and writing!
Feel free to tag me #1i1acbooks!
14th June in 2021
As I finished “Kafka on the Shore” today I wanna share three (!!!) quotes. I liked so many. It made me question a lot of my decisions and mindset.
On another note, I really liked Hoshino and Nakata and how their bond got stronger and especially Hoshino’s growth and development!
Feel free to use my tag #1i1acbooks.
2nd June 2021
May was filled with reading, which I love and do way too little.
I finished reading the short story collection “after the quake” and finally (!!) finished “the wind-up bird chronicle”. I just enjoy bizarre stories. Now I can read on “Kafka on the Shore”. I put many post-it notes in this book because I like so many quotes. Or they make me think. Or both! I’m happy that I have time to read!
I track the tag #1i1acbooks, feel free to use it.
