Reviews and Comments
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.

Very short and very good
5 stars
I rarely read short stories but when I do, I usually love them. This is no exception, the short stories are creative and inspiring, and motivate me to find small ways to work towards a better future in my own life.

Ein sehr schönes, zart erzähltes, emotionales Buch. Ich wollte die Charaktere öfters mal schütteln damit sie nicht so viel aneinander vorbei reden und leben. Es beschreibt sehr gut, wie sehr wir manchmal in unserer Lebenswelt und Perspektive feststecken und nicht merken, wie wir damit andere Menschen verletzen können oder was diese gerade brauchen, oder auch was wir gerade brauchen.

A very beautiful, delicate, emotional book. I wanted to shake the characters a few times so that they don't talk and live so much past each other. It describes very well how much we are sometimes stuck in our own world and perspective and do not realise how we hurt other people or what they need at the moment, or even what we ourselves need at the moment. And it's about video …

Found it on my library’s overdrive/libby app! I read the first story, Slimy Things Did Crawl, and enjoyed it very much. I found out there’s also a podcast and newsletter both called bright green futures about climate fiction and utopia, and am very curious to listen/read more about it
Luce finished reading NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman

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

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.
Luce started reading Burnout by Emily Nagoski
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

As always, reading Becky Chambers is a delight. The book is just so short!

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.
