Happy April Fools’ Day! This week’s theme is a very fitting one — Humour. Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell immediately came to mind. It’s a hilarious book which had me in stitches, and for anyone looking to prank book lovers, I’m sure you’d find inspiration from these anecdotes collected from bookshops around the world.
Project 52 – April Themes
Generally we like to keep themes open to interpretation. Occasionally we do include more specific ones like for Autism Awareness Month this April. Banding together to support causes adds visibility, so that’s our own little way of lending support. Either way, we prize creativity, so there hardly is a right or wrong approach. As long as books are involved and your photo fits the theme in some way, you’re golden.
Project 52 – Easter
This week’s Project 52 theme is Easter, so I rummaged through my shelf for a suitable book. I vaguely remembered a book from my childhood which featured easter bunnies. After a while I found it tucked away between other colourful books. Illustrations in children’s books are always so much fun to look at and make them all the more memorable. Even though I hadn’t read Osterhasengeschichten (from German: Easter Bunny Stories) I didn’t forget it from my early childhood reading days.
Project 52 – Spring
Spring begins the cycle of the seasons as animals emerge from winter and plants peek out from the earth again. The first flowers blossom and welcome warmer days. While the monsoons direct the rains and dry months where I live, the thought of spring still brings considerable cheer. This is why I picked out a few books that I meant to read last year but didn’t. Spring also marks the possibilities of things to come, and I hope that I will come to count these books to my favourites very soon.
Project 52 – Shards
I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister by Amélie Sarn broke me to pieces. For days I tried to piece those shards of my heart together again because the basis in reality of this book haunted me. While I knew about cases of Muslim extremists killing defectors in the most cruel ways imaginable, I was horrified by how Djelila died.
