— George Saunders, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life (Random House, January 12, 2021) (via Wait-What?)

I can now refer to 2022 (among other names I dare not type) as The Year of The Greatest Reading Slump, but it was also the year I started rereading books and buddy reading ☺️ I finished 2022 with one of my most favorite authors, with a collection of short stories, the genre I love 💜, that has the most promising title -“Liberation Day”. Let 2023 be the year of liberation from fears, liberation of territories, liberation from any boundaries that don’t allow our creativity to flow. Happy New Year, world 🌍🎆 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instabookstagram #myyearinbooks #georgesaunders #liberationday #shortstorycollection #americanliterature #americanauthor #postmodernliterature (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4T-AwrvoS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mini book-signing tour: signed copies now available at @booksaremagicbk in Brooklyn Heights and the new @barnesandnoble on Atlantic. Won’t lie- I love seeing it on the shelves next to heroes and friends. And I love hearing how it has helped and inspired. #bookstagram #book #bookrecommendations #songwriter #music @clivedavisinst @madicunningham @madisonemikolove @sunshine_daydreamer18 @raulmidon @jimnanderson @shanemcanally @paulstanleylive @emograves #georgesaunders @jannalevin https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0NvAsv5_l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fox 8 by George Saunders is a beautiful, funny & sad short story. I wasn't a fan of the fox's poor spelling at first but it grew on me. But the spare illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal really brought this to life for me. Her simple black & white illustrations with the occasional red for the foxes are wonderful. Glad to have a copy with her illustrations accompany Saunders' text. * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #pugsandbooks #bookreview #shortstory #georgesaunders #chelseacardinal https://www.instagram.com/p/B5MbwL5g1zD/?igshid=1f0xp9v6393gh

“Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you―and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing does.”🌈✨ -George Saunders || Werbung #georgesaunders #quote #kindness #awareness #meditation #mindfulness #healing #chairs #ischia #ischiaisolaverde #iloveischia #ischiagram #santangelodischia #ocean #sea #thyrreniansea (hier: Sant 'Angelo..ad Ischia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqbuYEunRT4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=giqg1clqg1dc
