@OrendaBooks @stujallen That would be lovely! (I have sent you my email in a DM.)

“…it’s always, always the darkest part of the picture that shines the most, and I think that that might be because it’s in the hopelessness and despair, in the darkness, that God is closest to us…”
-Jon Fosse (The Other Name) #norwayinnovember

@stujallen You are the best, Stu, so glad to have you join me and make this known on X. (I have not been on my account for months and months, so it is sweet to come back to.)

[Meredith J. Smith @bellezzamjs]

I have been absent from X for many months, but upon my return I’d like to welcome any and all to Norway in November. Norwegian writers, such as journalist Asne Seierstad, can be read for Nonfiction November. Trilogy, by Jon Fosse, can be read for Novellas in November. Do join us!

[Meredith J. Smith @bellezzamjs]

@OrendaBooks @stujallen It’s a recent thing…I just hosted it for the first time this November. Would love to read and review Norwegian literature from Orenda Books if you would like.

[Karen Sullivan 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧 @OrendaBooks]

@stujallen @bellezzamjs Love this so much! Thank you! We didn't even know Norway in November was a thing!

@stujallen You are the best, Stu, so glad to have you join me and make this known on X. (I have not been on my account for months and months, so it is sweet to come back to.)

[Meredith J. Smith @bellezzamjs]

@KoenigRMHS I’d be interested, of course, in your thoughts if you do.

[Meredith J. Smith @bellezzamjs]

@KoenigRMHS I loathed March…it made a mockery of the integrity I believed the March family to have. Particularly Mr. March, whom I would never envision doing what Brooks had him do…

@nonsuchbook @AntonHur That bunny is cursed!😌

[Meredith J. Smith @bellezzamjs]

@bolanoesque Like the copy of Whale dead center!

@AntonHur Hi, Anton, my fellow jurists (Tony, Stu, Frances, etc) said that you had a message about Counterweight and tried to reach me as well. Please message me again, if you will. Sincerely, Meredith (Bellezza of Dolce Bellezza)
