Nutze seit über 2 Jahren auf der Instanz books.theunseen.city.. und die Probleme werden leider größer. Einmal ist sie von heute auf morgen ist nicht mehr erreichbar, und ein anderes Mal, also eigentlich immer, entweder gar nicht oder nur mit starken Verzögerungen zu erreichen.
Jetzt werde ich es mir hier gemütlich machen. Meine Buchliste ist importiert. Jetzt muss ich nur noch ein wenig aufräumen.
Meine Interessen liegen hauptsächlich in history-based Romane, SciFi, Crime & Thriller, ab und an auch mal Fantasy oder ein Sachbuch.
Meistens lese ich englisch-sprachige Bücher.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth …
The book was gifted to me for Christmas. The life story of a Hollywood diva from the '50s and her seven husbands that spans all the way into the 2010s. I didn't expect much. I, not really a fan of romance novels or even interested in film icons and their lives, wasn't particularly inclined to read this book... until I did.
It didn't even take a full chapter before I couldn't put it down. Jenkins' writing style has something truly special that completely captivated me. So refreshing and the words were appropriately chosen.
I loved the structured writing, which makes the novel easy to read and follow.
Particularly close to the end when everything unfolds, you begin grasping the meaning, that there is more than just the seven marriages of Evelyn Hugo.
I didn't expect the end, though. Conclusive but it left me sad.
Obviously, …

Obviously, there was / is a hype about this book and if so, it is totally worth it. It's an astonishing, touching and amazingly written historical fiction novel about unconditional love, passion power, guilt and loss, as well as the shocking and toxic reality behind fame and old Hollywood's glamour. I even might read it a second time to digest the bits and pieces of wisdom by Evelyn.

Großartiges Büchlein (39 Seiten in meinem eBook-Reader) über das Leisesein und die Ermutigung, nicht über jedes Stöckchen springen zu müssen.

A dystopian world where critical and individual thinking or human interaction is suppressed by continuous exposure to TV, speed and drugs.
Substitute TV with Social Media and you've got your actuality.
Difficult read for me as a non-native speaker but nonetheless a must-read.

... this IS a Doctor Who story. Me thinks the author wrote this story with the intend to submit it to the producers. The similarities are simply too obvious to think otherwise.
I love the TV show and I loved reading it only 3* because I believe the author not only got inspired but definitely copied an episode of Doctor Who. Either by "Cryogenic Chamber" (4th Doctor) or "A Christmas Carol" (11th Doctor). More likely the first.
Anyhow. It was an easy and quick read but I doubt there will be 3rd book in the Johnny Smythe series.

... and then I shall be free.
A short story about a witty but uneducated farm girl, how she got sold by her father to the local priest to take care of his sick wife, and how he, after his wife died, started to teach her to read and to write .. at an unspeakable cost for her.
The book starts easy. An all-day story about the hardships Mary's family has to live through to keep everyone fed. Word by word, line by line a story gets unveiled that will leave you just sad, shocked and helpless.
At first glance it might not be a happy end but for Mary, the rope could be THE happy end.
A brilliant book. If not for Christmas time I guess I could have read it in one day.
