First of all in the video: 3 books in world literature that you should have read
At Thalia we discovered a lot of books that are perfect to escape everyday life.
Do you know the feeling when everything gets too much? If you no longer know where your head is because appointments, to-do lists and worries overtake each other? That's exactly how I'm feeling.
And in such moments one thing helps me a lot: the grip for the right book. One that makes me completely forget my everyday life for a moment. No thick rollers with difficult topics, no doomsday mood. But stories that can be easily read away, kidnap in distant places and just do it well. Books like a short vacation - without packing any suitcases.
Here are my five favorites, which you should snap yourself when you urgently need a break.
1. "Book Lovers - Love is between the lines" by Emily Henry
Emily Henry just gets it on it: light, funny novels with that certain something. In "Book Lovers" (Order here from Thalia*) It's about Nora, a tough literature agent, and Charlie, an equally sharp -tongued editor. Both flee to a sleepy town to get distance from the stressful publishing life. But of course it sparks quite violently between the two.
If you fancy a Rome com in book form and really want to switch off, you should definitely use "Book Lovers" and the novelOrder here from Thalia*:
2.„Dark Venice. Deep Water ”by Antonia Wesseling
A trip to Venice, tension, dark secrets and a little palpation - sounds like a perfect mix? Is it too. In "Dark Venice" (Order here from Thalia*) We accompany Merle, who travels to the lagoon city for a semester abroad. There she meets the mysterious Matteo, who seems to know more than he admits.
"Dark Venice" is a perfect mix of love story and mystery, who mentally catapults you out of everyday life and directly into the winding streets of Venice.
3. „No Escape“ von Lucy Clarke
For everyone who loves tension - but still want to come in a vacation mood. In "No Escape" (is available here at Thalia*) The best friends Lana and Kitty want to escape the gray weather in England and find refuge on a yacht in the Philippines. But the fantastic trip quickly becomes a nightmare when the friends realize that a murderer is on the boat ...
When reading this thriller with a tropical setting, your own concerns are very far away.
4. "The big summer" by Ewald Arenz
A little nostalgia, a lot of feeling: in "The big summer" (Order here from Thalia*) We immerse yourself in the memories of a summer that changes everything. School stress, first love, family chaos - sounds like a lot, but reads easily like a warm June day. Ewald Arenz writes so lovingly and figuratively that you immediately remember your own summer as a teen.
5. „Daisy Jones & The Six“ von Taylor Jenkins Reid
Los Angeles in the 70s, rock'n'roll, great feelings and even bigger dramas-all of this tells Taylor Jenkins Reid in interview, as if you were part of the music documentary about Daisy and her band. "Daisy Jones & The Six" (is available here at Thalia*) Has really addicted to addiction and reads away incredibly quickly. You want to know what happens next in this distant world full of glamor and guitar riffs.
