We are a small independent bookshop in Chemnitz, Germany and were told that we have to do social media. We decided that if we had to do social media, then our first account would be with Mastodon. :) Hello Mastodon!

Conversation upon entering my local library:
Charlene (librarian): Hey, there you are!
Book: And there she is. How goes life?
C: (minor pleasant small talk)
C: I have something for you. I got this month's order (of new books) in and I kept one back for you. (Hands me a queer young adult novel I've been waiting for a while)
B: You are amazing. You and your red hair.
C: Oh, honey, I know.
We don't deserve librarians.

So, the start of a new books thread for 2025...Martha Wells & Shauna Lawless were both superb in very different ways. I highly recommend them. Mark Hayden was on fine form with Eight Kings, too. TJ Klune's Wolfsong wasn't far off 5⭐️ but not quite there.

Seit November ist unser Buchladen ganz schön gewachsen. Deswegen müssen wir heute ein paar Schränke neu arrangieren. Gar nicht so einfach für uns Quereinsteiger. 😅 Seht ihr Bücher die Euch besonders gefallen haben, oder die ihr unbedingt noch lesen wollt. Gibt es Bücher die wir unbedingt noch dahaben sollten?
Liebe Grüße aus #chemnitz

These Japanese versions of The Little Shop of Nightmares are truly kawaii 🩷 Unlike in other countries, where illustrator is Teemu Juhani, the illustrations in the Japanese books have been "translated" as well to better fit the Japanese market.
Edit: ...and I have the names of the Japanese illustrator and the translator! Thank you mastodonts!
Translation: Furuichi Mayumi
Illustrator: Nelnal

"Ameisen" steht in der #Bücherwabe für die These von Bayo Akomolafe, dass wir hinsichtlich der Denkwege, die unsere Lebens- und Wirtschaftsform bestimmen, in einer tödlichen Logik gefangen sind, wie Ameisen in einer #Ameisenmühle: Ameisen folgen den Duftspuren ihrer Vorgänger und laufen im Kreis bis sie sterben.

I have uploaded .pdf copies of both editions of The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe to ko-fi, where they are now available for purchase at less-than-half the cost of the Amazon paperback books.
Details and links on my Website here:
https://norwegianfolktales.net/books/the-complete-norwegian-folktales-and-legends-of-asbjornsen-moe
I think you should choose the annotated edition; here’s what you get:
1. Three chunky volumes (815 pages, 617 pages, and 665 pages).
2. Original prefaces from eight editions.
3. Jørgen Moe’s substantial introduction to the folktales, in which he discusses the origins of folk narratives, and how the Norwegian material exemplifies his ideas.
4. All 122 folktales Asbjørnsen & Moe published during their careers.
5. 28 hulder tales and folk legends, a genre Asbjørnsen defined, in which he embeds the legends of the hidden folk.
6. Approximately 350 illustrations by some of the most accomplished artists Norway has known, including Hans Gude, Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen.
7. Asbjørnsen & Moe’s notes on the folktales, which detail the variant(s) the collectors used to compose each folktale, sketch out other variants they collected, and compare the Norwegian folktales with similar traditions from other regions.
8. Newly-researched editor’s notes, which identify the collector responsible for the composition of each text, give collection data, including tale type, geographical origin, collector, informant, and date of collection, sketch biographical details of informants, where known, give previous publication and translation details, trace historical and literary sources, and draw attention to points of particular interest.
9. Editor’s prefaces to each volume, which trace the publication history of the original volumes represented, as well as previous translations.
10. Comprehensive – perhaps even exhaustive – bibliographies to each volume.
