One of my favourite #BookBloggers is Rachel at THE PERSPICACIOUS BOOKWORM. If you aren’t already following her #blog, I suggest you rectify that oversight so you can read insightful, well written #BookReviews across a multitude of genres, as well as author interviews and other bookish content. @bookstodon
I have to say: the last thing I expected last night while taking a break and watching the detective series, "The Mallorca Files," was: a reference to 19th-century German literature ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And (why not?): the first edition (1830) of Grillparzer's Ein treuer Diener seines Herrn (a loyal servant of his lord), a historical drama set in medieval Hungary
rare original paper wrapper has owner's stamp of Carl Gerold's Sohn, Vienna, a publisher with whom Grillparzer would have preferred to work
I am still a little different from other people.
I speak and act a little differently.
So I tried very, very hard to eliminate the differences, but I couldn't do it.
The more I tried, the more it hurt.
So I thought I'd always be different until the day I die.
But many nice people filled in the gap for me.
And that is how I am standing before you today.
Thank you for filling in the gap.
Thank you for not avoiding me.
And thank you very, very much for your love.
