Top Ten Tuesday ~ Top Twelve German authors

This week's topic is Authors. A while ago, I made a list of many of my favourite authors (see here) and could easily choose ten of them. But I thought it would be more fun to present some German authors. I think everyone knows that I love authors like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Günter Grass, Thomas Mann, but I thought I'd introduce you to some contemporary German authors that are all worth reading. Not all of their books have been translated but there is at least one from all of them.

Hansen, Dörte "This House is Mine" (GE: Altes Land) - 2015

A couple of years ago, I have done a list of German authors that did include classics (see here).

I would have loved to include some other great contemporary authors but - unfortunately - many of them have not been translated into English.

This week's topic is Me. (Example titles: Well Traveled could describe you if you like to travel, Hotshot Doc could describe you if you’re an awesome doctor, Falling into Place could describe a life where things are starting to work out, An Infinite Love Story could describe your relationship, It Could Have Been Her could describe a thing you’re happy you avoided or a path you could have taken but didn’t. You can explain your choices or not, and they can be as specific or as abstract as you’d like.)

I have found several books with topics or titles dear to my heart, that would describe me. First I thought, I'll sort them by importance but I found that too hard, so I stuck with my usual order: alphabetical

This week's topic is Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025 (New-to-me authors I discovered, new genres I learned I like, new bookish resources I found, friends I made, local bookshops I found, a book club I joined, etc.)

I have read a lot in my in my life. I have found what I like and what I dislike ages ago. Sometimes, I stumble upon a book that is not my genre and I like it. But that is a rare exception. Still, I found some new books which I really liked but they are all in my Top Twelve Tuesday ~ Best Books in 2025. But there are no new genres. Also no new bookshops since there is only one in our little town and I've known this for ages, even before we moved here.

2025 was Jane Austen's birthday year and I participated in the #Reading Austen project. I found lots of books about Jane Austen and re-read all of her books. I could have included all of them but I thought I also need to show some of the other great books I found during the year. So, here is my Top Twelve of 2025. Just add anything by or about Jane Austen in your mind.

Hislop, Victoria "The Figurine" - 2023
Mak, Geert "The Dream of Europe. Travels in a Troubled Continent" (NL: Grote verwachtingen. In Europa 1999-2019) - 2019

This week's topic is Modern Books You Think Will Be Classics In The Future
A modern classic, then, would have to be a book written after World War I, and probably after World War II.

This week's topic is Books Outside My Comfort Zone

It is already outside my comfort zone to post about books I didn't care for that much. But since I have to list books that I wouldn't necessarily pick up - and these are mostly book club books - I don't like most of these titles. The books I care for least are chick lit, then fantasy and sci-fi.
