Well ladies and gentlemen, I believe this is the book of books. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
Michelle Obama
I’m going to see Michelle Obama! Unfortunately, I am probably not going to meet her personally (I think). I have tickets for her book presentation at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam next month! I’m so excited!
A Town Like Alice
What would you give a bookworm that is about to emigrate to Australia? A novel where the story (partly) takes place in Australia haha.
The President is Missing
If this year every book is a page-turner, then it should be very easy to complete my Book Challenge 2019. The page-turner is The President is Missing from Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Did you just read, Bill Clinton? Hell yes!
The House of the Mosque
The House of the Mosque beautifully describes a family history before, during and after the Iranian revolution (1979).
Circe
Yes, they still do exist! New books that blow you away. Circe by Madeline Miller. A book about Greek mythology…..really?
Hot Milk
What did I like about living in London? And what does that have to do with Hot Milk by Deborah Levy? London is just as snug as it is a metropolis. At least the neighbourhood where we lived and our street.
My four “Moby Dick” books
Last summer there was a new TV program on Dutch television called Moby Dick. Two well-known Dutch were invited to discuss four books each.
Island Beneath the Sea
Isabel Allende. A writer that you love or “just not your cup of tea”. I am absolutely crazy about her books. She has written about 20 novels and I have read 12 of them.
Freakonomics
I love it when you pick up a book from your bookshelf where you suddenly find things like old notes, the receipt, a postcard or a boarding pass.
