So earlier today my little collection of short stories was in pretty illustrious company on Amazon :)

It's in pre-sale for another month, but every purchase helps with the algorithm on release day! Please buy it if you think you'd enjoy the stories!

Really enjoying this - “The name of this band is R.E.M. - a biography” by Peter Ames Carlin.

As an old diehard fan club member from the days when you signed up via snail mail & got rare goodies back in the post, this is packed with joyfully deep trivia.

Such as “Lester Bangs birthday party jelly bean boom!” (Lyric from “It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)”) turning out to be recalling details of a memorable trip to NYC! 😄😎

An orange background displays the text "THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS R.E.M. A BIOGRAPHY" in large, bold, black lettering. Below, in a smaller font, it reads "PETER AMES CARLIN" followed by "New York Times bestselling author of Bruce". A black and white photo below shows the four members of the band R.E.M.

Petit détour en BD avec Alchithémie de roses des temps publié début janvier chez Drakoo et écrite et illustrée par Benoît Boursoit. One-shot de fantasy steampunk autour de la question du deuil, cette BD au titre très énigmatique nous plonge dans un univers original pour un récit touchant. Mais l’esthétique, entre autre, m’aura rendu la lecture fastidieuse…

Nine charming quotes about writing. I think my favorite, at least this morning, is:

“Keep in mind Oscar Wilde: ‘A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.’”
— Joyce Carol Oates

Bilbo Baggins is a wealthy hobbit who hires Gandalf Travel to take him on a grand tour of Middle Earth.

But Gandalf plays a little bait-and-switch. Our hero discovers that it will not be Gandalf leading the tour, but a cadre of venal and hygienically challenged dwarves. Even worse, he is expected to do most of the work. Bilbo discovers hidden reserves of talent, bravery and pluck.

Everything goes well until Bilbo inadvertently starts a race war.

Alors que le froid s’est largement invité chez nous et que la neige, elle aussi, nous a rendu visite, j’ai décidé de me plonger dans la novella de Noëmie Lemos, Neige.

Auto-publiée à l’automne 2024, il s’agit à l’origine d’un texte écrit il y a quelques années lorsque ses soeurs sont toutes les deux tombées enceintes. Dans ce court récit d’anticipation aux accents écologiques, l’autrice nous propose un univers riche et passionnant. Mais c’est aussi une histoire envoûtante et réconfortante qui parle de liens, de secrets de famille et rend hommage à la nature. C’est doux et chaleureux comme un plaid en hiver.

Et je vous en parle plus en détails sur le blog: https://yuyine.be/node/1299

Comme chaque mois, on regarde déjà du côté des sorties du mois à venir pour se faire un petit repérage.

Et si janvier est riche en sorties, février s’annonce plus calme de mon côté. Mais avec néanmoins de belles sorties dont certaines très attendues.

Et je vous invite à les découvrir (et peut-être gonfler votre wishlist) sur le blog: https://yuyine.be/node/1298

My review of People of the Sea, by David Thomson, though it's actually more of a reflection of how much I love Ireland 😀

Petite pause BD avec La princesse d’Hazelwood d’Arianna Calabretta publiée ce 8 janvier aux éditions Aventuriers d’ailleurs. Il s’agit d’une bande dessinée jeunesse fantastique qui parle de deuil, d’acceptation de soi et se drape de légendes et de magie pour proposer une belle aventure initiatique.

Très coloré, et très beau, ce conte est aussi plein d’émotions et propose une belle histoire. J’ai regretté une densité qui empêche d’explorer pleinement tous les fils narratifs mais j’ai globalement passé un très bon moment.

Ich bin mit einem meiner Projekte ein bisschen festgefahren und dachte, dass es vielleicht hier Ideen gibt, die mir weiterhelfen.

Ich habe im letzten Winter einen Roman oder Erzählung oder so geschrieben, die jetzt mit der kommenden Wahl super ins Zeitgeschehen passen würde. Jetzt komme ich aber mit der Veröffentlichung nicht weiter, weiß nicht wie sowas funktioniert, kenne niemand zum lektorieren, aber vielleicht dafür wen für den Buchsatz.

Ich will kein Schriftsteller werden, aber würde dieses Projekt gerne rausbringen, weil es eventuell Leuten zu Erkenntnissen oder einfach Freude verhilft. Es wäre auch schade so viel Arbeit auf meiner HDD verkommen zu lassen (wie so viel anderes schon).

Plot: Eine Gruppe Kinder aus einem großstädtischen, akademischen, linken Freie Schule und Hausprojekt-Milieu begibt sich in den Sommerferien auf eine selbstorganisierte Fahrradtour durch Deutschland. Begleitet werden sie dabei von einem älteren, depressiven, ostdeutschen Antifa-Aktivisten. Das Geschehen wird überschattet vom Amtsantritt einer neofaschistischen Regierung und gerät aus den Fugen. (Bäh Klappentext...)

Pls retoot


Just finished reading this book about the 1980 Iranian embassy siege in London. Anyone else read it? Ben Macintyre is very good at these popular non-fiction books about war and spies etc; he has a knack of bringing all the people involved to life with plentiful character description.

I would have bought the Kindle ebook of this, but it was too expensive! So borrowed it from the library instead. Text a bit too small, but I persevered.

A DEEPLY RESEARCHED, PASSIONATELY argued, and unfortunately timely deep dive into the political impact of the broad coalition of groups identifying themselves as the US’s “Christian Right.” Eye-opening and unsettling. A MINUS

Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Leguin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.

#UrsulaKLeguin #Books #Bookstodon #book #Writing #WritingCommunity
Ursula Le Guin‘s daily schedule

    5:30 a.m. - wake up and lie there and think.
    6:15 a.m. - get up and eat breakfast (lots).
    7.15 a.m. - get to work writing, writing, writing.
    Noon - lunch.
    1:00-3:00 p.m. - reading, music.
    3:00-5:00 p.m. correspondence, maybe house cleaning.
    5:00-8:00 p.m. make dinner and eat it.
    After 8:00 p.m. - I tend to be very stupid and we won't talk about this.

This was Le Guin's daily schedule first appeared in an interview she gave in 1988 (and more recently reappeared in Ursula Le Guin: The Last Interview and Other Conversations).
