Found on internet: either the tables are going to turn or I'm going to flip them.

And I feel it!😁

Jon Fosse's Septology is like this... 800 pages of only comma, no other punctuation. Wild.

Got a second hand Kindle which was sitting unused by the previous owner. So, now I am reading on an actual Kindle as opposed to an app. 👇This is an ARC I got way back on Netgalley that I am finally digging into. 10%, so far so good.

Sõnuk on tõsine "cold, hard look at", kui iseenesest mõistetavalt me oma emakeelt näeme... Ma pean alati rasket ajutööd tegema, et üldse mingid 5-tähelised sõnad meelde tuleksid :D neid justkui ei olegi! :D

Okei... ma siiski korra uurisin. Et siis eesti keeles on originaal? Ma ei tea. Mina lugesin neid näiteid siin ja nui neljaks, nagu mingi otsetõlge, sestap nii puiselt loebki. Võta mõni lause, loe seda inglise keeles - makes sense. Aga eesti keeles mitte.

Ma võiks ju ise otsida, a ma ei viitsi, et... Mis see originaalkeel sellel teosel on? Inglise v mingi muu?

Baturin oli tähestikumängu jaanuarikuu ruudus. "Karu süda" aga kujunes raamatuks, mida ühtlasi nii väga nautisin kui ka lugeda ei tahtnud, sest see tähendas, et raamat saab läbi.
"Karu süda" on Raamat suure algustähega ❤️

Do you like Novellas?
What about "Secret Projects"?
Advanced release copies?

Suspected of murder, Lance must clear his name, and P.I. Norman would like nothing more for him to be guilty, but his gut says otherwise. A dual POV modern fantasy.

Took about a week, then I started enjoying the free time and felt like a legit human with a personality again. I am now few days back to work and I feel I am back to zero, as in pre-vacation. Gah.

LiisP @liisp.bsky.social · Jul 5

That feeling when you have free time and don't know what to do about it.
