German-Indonesian writer, journalist and aspiring novelist. I love all kinds of books. Sometimes, I review them. On Instagram as katrin.loves.books

In this memoir, @QianJulieWang recalls her upbringing as an undocumented immigrant in America, which is riddled with poverty, fear and hardships, but also resilience and – ultimately – hope. A must-read! #booksthatmatter #BookReview

New book review is up: Girls of Fate and Fury, the last installment in @girlinthelens trilogy. I am so grateful for this series, was so enthralled that it was hard to let go. Representation truly matters. ♥️

#BookReview: Jing-Jing Lee’s “How We Disappeared” is an emotional and heartbreaking read but it’s one of those books that truly matter. It gives a voice to the numerous “Comfort Women” forced into prostitution by the Japanese military during World War II.

I’m finding myself drawn to literature from and about Asia more and more, maybe because I feel really homesick at the moment and can’t wait to go back to Indonesia to see my family & friends, once it’s safe.

Happy new year to y’all. To continue my bookish journey in 2022, I decided to sign up at @thestorygraph - anyone also there & feels like connecting? See you there, I hope ♥️

“Heaven” by Mieko Kawakami was such an intense, unsettling read - it deals with the physical and psychological impacts of violence and bullying; hard to stomach but definitely falls under the category #booksthatmatter

Books I read in October. 📚

This biography of #ChrisCornell was a wild trip down memory lane. If you’re not a fan of Chris Cornell’s music, then this one probably isn’t for you (because if you didn’t know & love him until now, then honestly, you’re beyond hope! Kidding. I think).

And here’s my review for Felix Ever After (although it does read more like a love letter, and I’m totally fine with it)

I ADORED this book so much and recommend you all to read it ♥️ #felixeverafter @kacencallender

Highly recommended: “The Witch’s Heart” by Genevieve Gornichec, embedded in Norse mythology, told from a female perspective. Love!
