#ThrowbackThursday
Revisiting what I posted 10 years ago,
following the idea I found at The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog
(click on this link or the logo to see where the idea started from,
and to post the link to your own post).
On the first Thursday of the month available on my site,
I’m planning to post about the previous month, 10 years before.
📚 📚 📚
Today, I’ll be revisiting November 2011.
I published 15 posts, 9 of these were reviews.
Sounds like it was a fabulous month of reading, with 4 books that I still remember vividly.
Of these, here are the two reviews which received most views:
This was my third book by Murakami, and since then, I have read 13 more! But 1Q84 is still my favorite! Click on the cover to see why!
I also enjoyed a lot Before I Go To Sleep.
And there were two other books I enjoyed a lot that month:

My next post on this meme will be on January 13

I read Lilith this year. I think I had read it before, but I had no memory of it. I was blown away by this powerful spiritual imagination. I wish there were a beautiful illustrated edition, I would love to see that.
I read The Woman in the Dunes as required reading in a high school class, but I also have no memory of that. Probably worth a reread too!

I wish more people knew Lilith! Really impressive indeed. I’m sure there’s an illustrated version somewhere.
The Woman in the Dunes is short and very representative of the author, it’s worth a reread

Looking back 10 years is awesome! I’m sorry I wasn’t tracking my reading 10 years ago because I was too consumed by career.

That’s the advantage of getting older, lol

I’m glad to hear that Lilith is excellent. I’ve been wanting to read it but I’d heard it was a little odd. MacDonald is so unique though and I’ve loved every one of his books so far!

Well, if you like odd as in Tolkien or CS Lewis, you will love it

How great you are doing this #ThrowbackThursday. I usually just refer to one former book (my last one, These is My Word. I have read books by Murakami but not this one. Lilith reminds me of Adam’s first wife but I see the book has nothing to do with it.
Some great suggestions there. Thanks, Emma.

Actually, it is connected to that Lilith.
The advantage of being old in the book blogging world, is being able to revisit what happened 10 years ago in my reading life

Oh, I see, I didn’t recognize it in the description. But I’ll look for it in any case.
And you’re right, we have a lot of old books to look at.

I am hoping to read my first Murakami novel for the Japanese Literature Challenge that starts in January. I ended up choosing Norwegian Wood to start with. I’m excited to finally read Murakami!

Not my favorite, but definitely quite representative. Welcome to the world of Murakami! Looking forward to seeing you there, which reminds me I need to do my post. Like last year, I’ll end up with 12 books

I didn’t really know what book to go with first so I did a bit of research and Norwegian Wood kept rising to the top. That one and Kafka on the Shore which I may go with. My library has Kafka on the Shore but not Norwegian Wood. So I went ahead and bought a copy of Norwegian Wood.

Amazing that your library didn’t have this one!

It’s fun to look back and see what you were reading some time ago.

It really is. And it’s fascinating to see the books I remember really well, and the ones I don’t even remember hearing about, even though I read and reviewed them!!

I loved both 1Q84 and Before I Go to Sleep, and I’m also intrigued by this meme, which I’ve seen referred to but have never considered. Right now, revisiting posts from 10 years ago sounds like a good idea.
