I'm currently binging Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit by Judith Hermann. As it's been just released it's only available in German yet, but if you're able to read that I highly recommend. It's about Judith's own journey towards discovering the story of her grandfather and the traces this man, who was a convinced Nazi, has left in the family. The horrible shadow that drags way into the third generation, that no one seems to want to acknowledge.
Das ist ja sogar ein Samstag! Premium, wird vermerkt. Danke für diesen ausgesprochen hilfreichen Service Beitrag.
Automatic Noodle von Annalee Newitz (163 Seiten, nur auf Englisch als Paperback, Digital oder Audio)
Klappentext: You don’t have to eat food to know the way to a city’s heart is through its stomach. So when a group of deactivated robots come back online in an abandoned ghost kitchen, they decide to make their own way doing what they know: making food—the tastiest hand-pulled noodles around—for the humans of San Francisco, who are recovering from a devastating war.
But when their robot-run business starts causing a stir, a targeted wave of one-star reviews threatens to boil over into a crisis. To keep their doors open, they’ll have to call on their customers, their community, and each other—and find a way to survive and thrive in a world that wasn’t built for them.
For me it was fairly easy, as my TBR is huge and there were plenty of options for each theme. I would never have managed to complete the card time-wise without counting audiobooks though.
I'm still 90 pages from completing the whole card in Hard Mode, still, I already allowed myself to submit. Gonna finish those in the next week, I'm sure.

Jedes Jahr wieder gibt es diese Aufklärung und jedes Jahr wieder stellen sich trotzdem Leute (wie z.B. Politiker*innen) hin und interpretieren das Ding mit voller Absicht fehl.
Ich habe diese Woche den zweiten Teil von Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot Duologie zuende gehört. Schon lange kein Geheimtipp mehr unter Freundis des Solarpunk - Becky Chambers generell ist ein ziemlich großer Name - dennoch war die Reihe an mir bisher vorbei gegangen und damit bin ich bestimmt nicht alleine. Daher hier die wärmste Empfehlung für eine kleine, liebevolle Atempause inmitten des zum Alltag werdenden Schreckens.
I just picked up Sara Ahmed's Living a Feminist Life. It's been on my tbr quite some time now, and while I'm not big on non-fiction I appreciate the philosophical tone.
Das liest sich wie die ein sehr merkwürdiger Auswuchs der leider immer noch aktuellen Migrationsdebatte. Es sind in den letzten 100 Jahren 4 (!) Tiere ausgebrochen! Es könnte zu Durchmischung kommen! Oh nein, Hilfe!
Not the inspirational and caring tags
Ich höre im Augenblick das Hörbuch zu "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" (zu Deutsch: Ein Psalm für die wild Schweifenden) und möchte an dieser Stelle meine Empfehlung aussprechen. Die Geschichte von Sibling Dex, einem Gartenmönch, welcher eines Tages sagt "I'm changing my vocation!" und auszieht, um Grillen zirpen zu hören, ist Solarpunk vom Feinsten. Das Hörbuch gibt es scheinbar nur auf Englisch, da Em Grosland jedoch einen ganz unglaublichen Job macht, die Ruhe und Geborgenheit der Szenen zu vermitteln, war dieses Format dennoch die richtige Entscheidung für mich.
I have just started listening to The High Crusade. With English not even being my first language it's really something else. Enjoying it this far though, and if I don't understand anything anymore there's still the option to get a used copy from back then for small money.
