A hand holds open the book on the first two pages of the story. We see a Paris skyline and zoom in on a singular apartment high in the rooftops. Jacques is fumbling around his apartment looking for his missing gloves when he discovers them in his own pocket and wanders off.
A hand holds the hardcover edition of the book next to a window. The cover is a warm yellow and the title "Jacques and the great art theft" sits on the front cover with Jacques striding across it.
A side view shows the spine of the book, with the book title printed on it.
The book open at another set of pages in the middle of the story. Jacques is sneaking through a darkened room in the gallery and has a flashback to sometime previously where he is at the gallery during the day. people fill the space.

So a dilemma. A book with a great premise, written with panache, should be in my love zone, by a small press I admire.... doesn't land for me.

I don't particularly like posting meh reviews, unless they're big authors who can take it. It has a hefty number of reviews which really like it. And I'm not an edgelord who just wants to be a contrarian.

So, do I give it a three stars review for trying.

Un romance ambientado en el oslo de finales de los 60 donde dos enamorados tendran que enfrentarse a los terribles inviernos rurales, la pobreza, y a sus propias familias. Una reflexión sobre sí el amor es suficiente o no, ademas de una muestra de a donde somos capaces de llegar por amor, pero tambien por la supervivencia propia.

I recently read "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism" by J. Sykes, published by #FRSO (Freedom Road Socialist Organization) and I found it to be an excellent entry-level text to #ScientificSocialism. It's very approachable and easy to read for any leftist and, I believe, is quite persuasive in it's argument for embracing #DialecticalMaterialism and #HistoricalMaterialsm as primary ways by which to understand and change the world. Sykes also describes the #Leninist form, organization, and inner-process of a #communist party and how that can be an effective strategy for seizing and maintaining working-class power (the #DictatorshipOfTheProletariat) as we advance into the #socialist stage of human development. Those are perhaps the most commonly expected and basic topics, but he also delves into the #MarxistTheoryOfKnowledge, #PoliticalEconomy, #Imperialism, the #NationalQuestion involving the oppressed nations within the US, #WomensLiberation, and #QueerLiberation. I think this is a must read for anyone who considers themselves on the #Left and desires a deeper understanding of our world!

#bookstodon #booktoot

The cover of the book "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism" by J. Sykes. The cover consists of a dark red, brighter red, and white and depicts a demonstration demanding "All power to the workers & oppressed" and "Fight for Worker & immigrant rights!"

Si a alguien le gusta las típicas novelas de fantasía basadas en el viaje del héroe, estoy trabajando en una y me encantaría tener algo de feedback. Aún la estoy escribiendo y está sujeta a posibles cambios, pero la base está ya establecida. 😋

https://www.wattpad.com/story/309145796-rashastka

Aviso: Es una novela de alta fantasía, con una gran cantidad de personajes mitológicos y antropomórficos y las escenas de combate pueden ser muy crudas y explícitas.

I remember getting my hands on the book below--probably not the best reading for a 13 yr old, but probably not the worst, either. Anyway I remember being fascinated by it, as it felt really grown-up. Looking back, it makes me laugh, but also smile @ my teenage self.
Is there a book like that for you, as you were growing up? Or am I the only one that felt cool reading Suzanne Somers' autobiography? #books #life #booktoot #nonfiction @bookstodon

Have you ever thought about going on a solo vacation simply to read? Even when I go on a regular vacation, for various reasons, I don't get as much reading in as I'd like to. I've thought of doing this for awhile, but have never pursued it- I always feel conflicted & selfish even thinking about it. It wouldn't need to be somewhere far or expensive.
