kubelot | 109 comments I'm aiming to read 12-15 german books 2022.
No detailed list ready yet, for sure i want to finish the Familie Sternberg Series and delve deeper into Andersch and Zamonien.
Hope to read as much as possible in German

Ich habe die Bücher von Daniela Krien auch wirklich genossen, normalerweise hab ich nicht solch ein Tempo ;)

I really hope they get translated, so you can read them Penny. I enjoyed all of them, especially the first one. I think it was because it was my first encounter with her work, or maybe because it was more focused on East Germany, as Die Liebe im Ernstfall is way more mature and the style is better.

“Someday we’ll tell each other everything” is available (in the UK at least) Also on book depository.

kubelot | 109 comments 5. *** Café Saratoga by Malin Schwerdtfeger, read the Polish translation. The translation was mediocre at best, will give it another try in a few years in German.
