I found Bookwyrm by exploring the fediverse, and really enjoy this cozy corner of the internet. I love reading but am not reading much currently, I'm always happy about advice to make it easier to read regularly and of course about book recommendations ☺️
Reading mostly in German and English, sometimes French or Spanish. Profile picture Pixelart by me.

What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin …
Surprisingly good, I was sceptical at the beginning but it is very informative and thorough, I also found it inspiring. Some parts are very dark though, but I guess that is to be expected if you learn about the history of autism and in some ways also of psychiatric research

What is love? Ist die Liebe Sinn des Lebens, eine politische Allianz, Illusion oder Selbstzweck? …
Radikale Zärtlichkeit ist tatsächlich das was es verspricht, radikal und zärtlich. Es inspiriert mich, meine Beziehungen zu hinterfragen, und hoffentlich besser und zärtlicher zu gestalten, und gibt mir Worte dafür, wie sich umeinander kümmern Widerstand gegen Kapitalismus und Patriarchat ist.
It's the second time I am reading this book, and already after the first few pages I remember why I love this book so much. It has tons of great advice and I feel like everyone should read it.

Ich habe es leider nicht geschafft, das Buch vor dem Auslaufen der Leihfrist fertig zu lesen. Wirklich toller Stil und ich wurde sehr reingezogen, teilweise sehr schwere Themen, vor allem CW Kindesmissbrauch, sexueller Kindesmissbrauch

I started reading this book a few days ago and can't stop. Great fiction reimagining ancient Greek mythology, with a feminist touch.
I started reading this book due to my therapist's recommendation. So far it's really pretty good, the language is simple and they take people with ADHD seriously and don't infantilize us.

Started listening to the audiobook, I love that it's read by the author!

Sehr atmosphärisch und unterhaltsam, aber es war etwas zu abstrakt für mich. Die Story fehlt ein bisschen, und die systemkritik kommt bei mir auch nicht so ganz an. Abgesehen davon ist es ein schönes Buch und malt tolle (oft leicht gruselige oder dunkle) Bilder in den Kopf.
Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by …
Danke @zoiundeinhorn@bookrastinating.com für die Empfehlung 😊
As I did end up really liking the first part, I want to know more about Ged's story :) and audio books are great for slow winter days!
Originally published in 1968, Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea marks the first …
I really enjoyed listening to this audio book, my first read of a longer story by Ursula K Le Guin. In the beginning it was a bit slow, but the characters and especially the character development of Ged captivated me more and more. My only point of criticism is the casual sexism in the book, but which is reflected on by Ursula K Le Guin in the foreword very well.
