So looking forward to these promising books already! What will you be reading next year? Have something in your sights already? Let me know down below and we'll talk books some more! And if you don't know what to comment, why not comment a fireworks emoji, because New Year's Eve is upon us! 🎆
Ik kijk ook heel erg uit naar Hera en de Odyssee. Ik kijk ook uit naar een aantal leuke vertalingen die gaan uutjomen, zoals Ithaca van Claire North en Legendes & Lattes.
I’ll definitely read the Salman Rushdie and Stephen Fry releases this year. I’m really not sure about these ‘retellings’ of classic novels. If you want to read them then why not just read the original? Demon Copperhead is another example. As a huge fan of Dickens, I just can’t see myself ever wanting to read a ‘retelling’ of his work. Each to their own though. Happy New Year!
@@cafeaulivre probably me being naive here but it just seems a bit lazy on the part of the author. I just don’t see why classic novels need to be retold from different perspectives. I think I’m too much of an old traditionalist 😂
@@cafeaulivre A story based on a dozen of dungeons and dragons campaigns. That's how it started out, anyway. I'll PM you with further details :D You might recognize one or two of the characters ;) Should be out by the end of March

I'm mostly hoping to ignore new releases in 2024, but both Knife and Annie Bot sound so interesting to me!
After all the books I got, I have an actual tbr stack for the first time, so I’ll have to get through that first now 🤣
@@cafeaulivre Always a good complaint 😊
Oh it is, so many books waiting for me 🥰
I love your videos! But can you provide the book picture next to you for a bit longer?
Will do 😋

The fox Wife klinkt ook wel goed 👀
Hera gaat ofwel boek van het jaar worden voor mij of een ongelofelijke teleurstelling. Ik hoop hier al zo lang op.

Oh, absolutely do read the originals, but (good) retellings can add perspectives the original lacked, looking at a same story, but from another angle.

Fair enough, if you ever feel like it though, I’d recommend Circe by Madeline Miller.
Ik ben erg benieuwd naar destroy the day, komt eind januari uit
Van wie is die?
