🌙 ABOUT ME 🌙
Hi! My name is Alice and I love books! I read just about everything from classics to contemporary fiction, adventures to mysteries, fantasy to all kinds of non-fiction - and I love reviewing and recommending books, and just generally having a chat about literature. I also adore baking, hot chocolate, crafts and basically everything cosy, soft and peaceful. I currently live in Oslo, Norway.

You are beautiful! I like your thoughts on different kinds of books. I’m a big reader of nonfiction ; of late it’s been my most favorite genre. A lot of great books. Sometimes I surprise myself with what I liked. I’m trading “My Hijacking” about the PLO hijacking of a commercial airliner taking off from Israel and diverted to Jordon in 1970. The author was 12 years old Jewish girl at the time of the hijacking traveling with her older sister after spending summer with her divorced mom and returning to New York where her father lived. She’s trying to get a better sense of her faded memories and understand why and how it happened. It’s fascinating. Gives a personal

Some years ago I read a book I really loved called "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating", by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. It's a memoir about how a snail helped the author going through her health issues 😊

thank you for sharing, adding so many of these to my tbr! 📚

Yay Falcon Thief! yes, it is indeed similar to Feather Thief, very good, though slightly not as wacky

I'm in the middle of civil rights queen❤ thanks for the recs🙌🏼🙌🏼

I picked up The Way Through the Woods because of one of your earlier videos. It’s very good, poignant & so informative about mushrooms!

The Invention of Nature is INSANELY GOOD! Enjoy!

[@andreajdarling]

Like you I also have a fascination for books about death and dying so I’ve added The In-Between to my list. I’m currently reading From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty, I think you’ve mentioned it before? A memoir recommendation is The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It’s about a woman who loses her home and her husband is very ill. She sets off to walk a long coastal path in England, camping wild. Given your interest in memoir with another story and nature I think you might like it.

I’m reading “Ashes and Stones” by Allyson Shaw. A journey through Scotland in search of women hunted as witches. So far so good 🤍🖤🪄

[@sandyokey1019]

I’m adding all the nature books to my want to read lists. Off topic, I have to add I love your sweater🥰

[@dmacia3967]

I read this stunning nonfiction book some weeks ago

[@joreads8782]

I adore H is for Hawk, by Helen McDonald, but since you mentioned you don’t have much interest in birds, so I don’t know. It is another book exploring grief. It really hit home to me that is for sure. It’s worth looking into though. Olive from A Book Olive adores it. Maybe watch her reviews and see what you think.

The Way Through the Woods is on my TBR for Feb/Mar. And the Invention of Nature was one of my faves for the year I read it on. I hope you’ll enjoy them both! well, all of the books really 😅

[@carolynmonahan2488]

I just ordered the Orchid Thief after watching the great movie "Adaptation" which I had somehow missed previously. Loved the Feather Thief also. Now reading A Room of Ones Own as first Nonfiction of the Year . The Book of Eels is also on my list.

[@emilygaynier]

I"m hoping to get to Ice by amy brady (a history on ice in america), Raw dog by Jamie Loftus (a history of hot dogs), and meet me by the fountain by Alexandra Lange (a history of shopping malls)

[@annukkamakelainen1158]

Desert Flower by Waris Dirie also deals with Femal Genital Mutilation and cultural differences and modelling world.

[@joyh.8268]

I just ordered The Invention of Nature after watching this video. I read Agent Zigzag a few years ago and loved it. Hoping to get to The Spy and the Traitor this year.

I have added The Way Through the Woods to my tbr. I do not like to eat mushrooms but find them aestheticly pleasing. 😆 Any excuse to be in the woods is a good one!

[@gbuireh6497]

I liked the memoir 'Cheer up love' by Susan Calman. She is a Britisch comedian and her memoir is about her struggles with depression growing up and as an adult and how people respond to it.

I read Notes on a Silencing in June 2021 and there's one particular detail in that book that I don't think I will ever forget. I gave it 4.5/5. -Becks
