Autumn here, German to learn 🍂🍂

Off to German class. My head is spinning with zums, beims, zurs and blumens

If you are looking for a nice, feel-good realist novel with heartwarming characters and a familiar setting then step away from this book. Run. Here is the opening: They're like worms. What kind of worms? Like worms, all over. It's the boy who is talking, murmuring into my ear. I am the one asking the questions. I read it a year or so ago, then picked it up again the other day. It's unlike anything else I have ever read and the writer, who lives in Berlin but is originally from Buenos Aires, creates unease and disorientation in every sentence, every pause, every shift. If you like horror you will love it. If you don't, steer welllllll clear. #amreading #bookrecommendations #bookish #bookstagram #feverdream

Bauhaus-era row houses in West Berlin. What surprised me was just how threatening these new ideas about housing were to the right wing politicians of the 1930s, to the point that they arrested the architects and forced the school to close.

Am going to try and read this today for @ausreadinghour - it's a brilliant workbook by an experienced voice & acting trainer with all kinds of exercises and suggestions to improve your speaking voice, particularly for those of us who spend way too long in front of a screen and in our heads! And it's a good one for tomorrow's @fridaysforfuture march and for anyone wanting to improve their relationship to their voice in general. Richard Lawton is a wonderful writer and teacher and speaking up feels more important than ever 📚🌍📢 #readinghour #fridaysforfuture #gretathunberg #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish
