So much fun to get up in the morning and see a new Booktube post by one of my favorites. (And I like the longer posts, Britta.) I hope to be able to return to do videos if I can get a good camera. Those look like fun and interesting books. I like that cover of Distant Signs a lot. Perhaps sometime you could do a post on great book covers, you think? Thanks so much!

I hope you will retunr & make video's again. I film on my computer/Iphone, by the way... And thank you for your suggestion re making a video about covers, brilliant idea!
Great TBR! I'm curious about Kate Roberts' book. I've been meaning to read a Svetlana Alexievich book for a long time. And I also like the sound of Richter's book (I like family stories). Eager to hear your thoughts on all these!

You STILL havent read anything by Alexievich? Shame on you! LoL. And I'm really excited to start these four, will report back later this month. X
I'm also reading a Svetlana Alexievich book for WIT month! I'm reading Voices from Chernobyl, but I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on Boys In Zinc! It sounds fascinating

Ah, yes Vices of Chernobyl is a great choice for WITMonth! And I will report back on Zinky Boys.
I read Alexievich's Voices from Chernobyl and was very affected by it so I would love to hear your thoughts on Boys In Zinc. admire the interview style she uses as well.

Yes, indeed, Alexievich is amazing! The Chernoby-book but also her book about the fall of the Soviet Union (Secondhand Time). And I will report back on the Zinky Boys!
I didn't know that WIT could include books in the original language ;-) But it makes sense for you and Mel to read Distant Signs in German. It does sound like an interesting book, actually, so I'm glad it's been translated into English. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and Mel's on it. Great video as usual, Britta!

Hahaha, sometimes you just have to bend the rules a little, right? LoL.
Edyta Rapacz I certainly won’t try to speak for Britta, but I am reading Anna Seghers’s novel The Seventh Cross right now for #WomenInTranslation month and so far I am absolutely loving it!

What Shawn said! Anne Seghers is the best! Another authorI can recommend is Erich Maria Remarque, especially Night in Lissabon and Spark of Life.
@ Thank you very much indeed! I'm really greatful. Greetings from the Polish subscriber to the lovely booktuber! Love your channel! Good luck with it..
@ Edyta Rapacz Another Erich Maria Remarque novel you may find interesting is “A Time to Love, A Time to Die.” A German soldier on a furlough from the Russian front returns to find his girlfriend and remnants of his life in a blitzed Berlin. Also, Das Boot the exciting German submarine movie was based on a true story by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim, a survivor of the event.
So many buddy reads, so many interesting books, so many interesting booktubers.
True dat. :-)
I'm excited to see what you make of Underground Time - I haven't read it yet but love her other books.
I didn't love it as much as Based on a True Story but still, it was really good!

Seriously tempted by your Adam and Mel buddy reads but both are only available on Book Depository. Hmmmm ... 🧐
Yes, yes, please join in!!!
Such interesting choices. I’m very intrigued by the Welsh book. Anxious to hear your review.
Thank you, Cheryl! And I will report back on the Welsh novel, of course.

Can’t wait!
Me neither!
Could you recommend a book which shows ww ll from German perspective? I'd appreciate that...
