"Riveting from start to finish. A perfect one for the #SummerReadingChallenge, I'd say".

Book 4 of my summer reading pile. The Condor's Feather by Michael Webster.

It's a #travelogue, a genre I only occasionally enjoy as I often find it a bit clunky. But it is also a love story, a gorgeous elegy to #Birds, to #SouthAmerica, to the strength offered by a loving relationship + to the power of #nature to heal trauma. It certainly made me re-evaluate how I spend my time on earth.
A quiet recommendation in its genre, a book to savour.

Astoundingly good book from @edyong209 - I really savoured this one. the title #AnImmenseWorld is not wrong - I wondered as I started it just how much you can write about how animals sense the world. It turns out you can write a lot and every single page glimmers with wonder, delight, new insights and knife sharp writing.

I enjoyed his previous book very much too, but this is book of the year if not book of the decade territory.
Simply superb.

Is there a better way to finish reading the amazing #LittleBrother than by candlelight from a friendly Ukrainian waiter on a sweltering European evening?

Still an essential and relevant read. What would we all do in Marcus' place?

Time to go bookshopping tomorrow...

Reading #Slaughterhouse5 on the beach in #Copenhagen, where we've taken refuge from the #heat is a bit of a mindbender, must be said...

Perhaps #Europe needs these kind of reminders though, our lives are maybe too comfortable?

Well. That's my summer reading sorted.
How's everyone else doing?
