Reading plans in 2018
I have a large collection of mostly awarded childrens & YA books. At the moment I am reading the books I haven't read since joining LT, mostly alphabeticly, to decide which to keep. The ones not to keep are donated to a library in Rotterdam (where we lived until 2005).
I started in 2018 with 697 childrens/YA books, of those 350 are TBR.
End of October update:
- Childrens/YA books TBR: 350 - 182 read in 2018 = 168 + 11 books acquired = 179 TBR
- Childrens/YA books on the shelves: 697 + 13 books acquired = 710 - 102 culled = 608 - 1 ready to go = 607
--
I keep trying to read more of my own books, of the 452 books I have read in 2017 238 (53%) were my own.
This year I try again to read at least 50% books of my own.
I join the TIOLI (Take It Or Leave It) challenges each month.

book 377: De Pantheon getuige by David Hewson

TIOLI Challenge #13: Read a book to honor Mama Peggy: 11/15/21, 97
Third Nic Costa book, I love it when a book I started earlier fits a TIOLI challenge :-)
In the Pantheon a woman is murdered. Soon after Nic Costa and Gianni Peroni have arrived, the FBI wants to take over the investigation. Turns out this isn't the first time the murderer has hit. Despite obstruction of the FBI, the team goes on following the leads they find.
Again a statisfying and intriguing read.

book 378: Er ging geen dag voorbij by Toon Tellegen
own, YA, Dutch, no translations, 104 pages
TIOLI Challenge #18: read a book with a body part in the author's name
Toon Telligen has written many books about the animals in the wood, this was the first one. In this universe there is only one of every animal, so their names are "Squirrel", "Ant", "Cricket", "Elephant".
We meet Squirrel and Ant, who are best friends. Squirrel travels a lot and thinks too much. All animals like parties.
Toon Telligen has a wonderful way with words, with surprising turns. Some of Toon Tellegen's books are available in English translation.

own, YA, Dutch, awarded, Nienke van Hichtum prijs, 2007, no translations, 54 pages
TIOLI Challenge #16: Read a book where the number of words in the title matches the numbers 867-5309
Frieda is the second of four children, living in a city. When her aunt is looking for a playmate for her daughter Jet, Frieda goes to her aunt in the woods. She writes her older sister Adalie about her new life. Adalie writes back to her. Through the letters we get to know the sisters, and about the war that brings shortage and hunger to the city.
Margriet Heymans won many awards, yet I feel little connection to most of her books.

book 380: Nog in morgens gemeten by Koos van Zomeren
from the library, e-book, Dutch, non-fiction, no translations, 320 pages
TIOLI Challenge #5: Read a book where the title contains a measure of something
Koos van Zomeren spends a year to write about Herwijnen, a small village in a Dutch polder. His father was born in Herwijnen, and he knows most of the older generation there. Talking with the villagers, mixed with his own memories, he describes the changes in the landscape. The reparcelling in the 1950s had largest impact, the farms used to be small with parcels scattered all over the polder. Most were too small for earning a decent living. After the reparcelling less farmers with larger parcels. This progress brought some prosperity to the village, but a lot is lost. In a small reserve on the edge of the polder nature is now protected.
Changing and disappearing landscape does change the people who live there. The writer doesn't want the return of "good old times", as those were no good times, the majority in the village was very poor back then. He would like more protection of the landscape.

Because the Russian Revolution was 100 years ago, he decides to write about Russian history and his life in the Netherlands and Russia.

Hi Anita!
I've read Fatherland by Robert Harris and thought I still had it on my shelves, but in a fit of culling must have gotten rid of it. I remember liking it a lot - my first alternative history read, I think.
but now and then a recent acquisition wants to be read immediately The new ones call out shamelessly to me and frequently get started even before I catalog them. Right now the newest Jack Reacher is on my desk, uncataloged, waiting for me to finish Louise Penny's newest - an ARC loaned to me by a book store friend, to be published on Nov. 27th. I'm tearing through the Louise Penny and will most likely jump immediately into the new Reacher. I don't have as much discipline as I would like to. *smile*

The okapi is an endangered animal from Africa. Their closest relative is the giraffe. Their natural habitat is in the jungle of north-east Congo. They were discovered in the early 20th century. Zoo's tried to keep them, but most died during transport or shortly after arrival. Now there are about 200 okapi's living in captivity, and they are now successfully bred. These shy animals need very specific food and quiet surroundings. As Congo was a Belgian colony, the Antwerp zoo was the first to keep an okapi successfully. In the Netherlands you can see them in Rotterdam and Hilvarenbeeek.
Very informative book for children about the okapi. With lots of illustrations. I always had a soft spot for these animals.

Anita, 2 words: garden gloves! I have done what you did to your finger, too many times. I now keep garden gloves everywhere: one pair in the bin in my backyard, where I store my tools, one pair in the garage (for the front yard) and one pair inside my front door to put on when I put out the bird feeder each day. There some great gloves these days that have a gripping fabric (nitrile, I think it's called) on the fingers and palm part that are comfortable and don't allow things you pick up to slide out of your hand. And they protect your hands very well.

The upcoming president elections have a surprising outcome, the second round isn't going to be between Le Pen and the SP candidate, but between Le Pen and the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, a moderate islamic party. Both the socialist and rightwing party join up with the Muslim party, resulting in the first French islamic president.
Women are banned from public life, most unemployed find work in the gaps the working women left behind. François looses his job, as public schools loose their buget. Private islamic schools are on the rise, and Francois is offered a job at a prestegious islamic university. Only concession is that he has to convert to islam...
This was my first Houellebeck and it turned out to be a better read than I anticipated. It was funny at times, but above all it was thought provoking.

TIOLI Challenge #10: Read a book with a blurb by another author you have read
The story of two couples, set in the early 20th century. At first all appears to be happy times together, but slowly we learn wat truly(?) happened: lies, adultery, ignorance... The (unreliable) narrator, John Dowell, tells us how ignorant he has been in the past 12 years. And convinces he only found out recently what infaithful wife he had.
A very good novel, very well written. Nothing much happens, just a story told, like you are sitting next to the narrator.

book 430: Een kleine stad in Duitsland by John Le Carré
own, translated from English, original title A small town in Germany, 303 pages
TIOLI Challenge #17: read a book with a word of the title or author matching a London Tube station, rolling challenge
Set in Germany in the late 1960s. Leo Harting, a low level employee at the British embassy in Bonn, disappears along with several confidental files. Against the wish of the embassy, Alan Turner is send from London to investigate if he worked for the USSR. Brittain doesn't seem very populair in Germany at that time, some politicans still see them as occupier and want to look eastward instead of westward. In this political mine field Turner tries to unraffle what happened, getting very few help of the employees at the embassy.
Although the story is dated, because so much has changed in 50 years, it was still a very good read.

Hi, Anita! Just stopping by for a quick hello. I am so very impressed with your ability to be so busy, read so much, deal with thyroid issues, and STILL manage to post to LT! Love your photoshopped pic of the Bird of Paradise. We used to see them everywhere when I lived in Southern California so they weren't such a big deal, but I haven't seen one blooming for more than 5 years now, except in the botanical gardens greenhouse, and probably won't again, now that I'm moving to NY, so they are suddenly much more appealing.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

There was a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit, sadly it wasn't allowed to take pictures there. The first picture is the exhibition promotion picture. Second picture: copy of an Archaeopteryx fossyl. Third picture: For years it was thought this was also an Archaeopteryx, last year it was renamed Ostromia crassipes.

I love Teylers museum. Well worth the visit, the atmosphere and the way it has been preserved showing the then state of the art science.
Completely forgot about the Leonardo exhibition, but should have been interesting.

>250 EllaTim: Indeed, Ella, Teylers was very well worth visiting.
We were not overly impressed by the Da Vinci exhibition. We mainly enjoyed the permanent collections.
Next week one more museum visit before Frank returns to work. David Lynch in the Bonnefantenmuseum, we will stay one night in Maastricht.
