Extended Profile
CATHARINAL (aKa CL)
A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses ― Joseph Brodsky
A reader, poet and translator, I love literature and grab a book whenever & wherever I can.
I most often read in my native Finnish, but also in English, Spanish, Swedish, and French; less in Hebrew, German, and some other languages (but it happens). Originals and translations. Poetry, prose, drama, comics, non-fiction. Genres aside, I'm sold on subtle twists of humor. And hey—I'm always willing to explore.
Bookcrossing continues to introduce me to genres and authors outside my usual scope. My BC bookshelf does not necessarily reflect my tastes: I often register and release books with the intention of having someone else enjoy them more than I did.
Reading and writing book reviews is my guilty pleasure, and journal entries are by far my favorite feature on bookcrossing.com. I have no demands concerning the books I've passed on, but I would tremendously like to see them journaled with a bit of personality!
I like to keep track of what I read. I won't be making any specific literary resolutions for 2024, but I hope to be yet more diverse and less predictable in my reading, and to enjoy as many Wish List books as I can. I will be participating in the HelMet Reading Challenge 2024 and, as always, hope to make beautiful discoveries.
My Wish List consists of out-of-print books, new publications that haven't come my way yet, areas of special interest, as well as long-lost childhood favorites. I update my list regularly and wish to hug all the wonderful people who have fulfilled my wishes either via book swapping or RABCKing.
The Tampere BCers meet fortnightly. For meetup dates, any changes in the schedule, or other important notices, please see the Finnish Forum.
