The Little Unicorn (2001)

[writingfanficsfan]

Book 88 of 2022.

Een prachtig, ontroerend verhaal over familie, vriendschap, liefde en hereniging Lekker ontspannen om zelf te lezen met Kerst, of om cadeau te doen! Eigenlijk kan Anna Kerstmis niet uitstaan. Om haar broer een plezier te doen stapt ze dit jaar toch in de trein om het feest met haar familie te vieren. Maar door allerlei tegenslagen ontaardt de reis in een winterse roadtrip per sneeuwschuiver en pick-uptruck. Zo heeft Anna ruim de tijd om eindelijk eens goed over haar verleden en zichzelf na te denken. Misschien is het tijd voor verzoening?

They ask 13 euros for this book and at only 190 pages that’s just too much. Not just the shortness, also the story. I like the idea of Anna going home for Christmas and at every turn something happens and she can’t make it but this story was just too flat for me. I still don’t really know why she hated Christmas so much and I would have liked a few chapters( or the second half of a book) about her meeting her Mom and stepdad and brother and really getting to know her and the family and all the hidden irritations that come with them. 

This was 3 stars for me. It’s almost a shame how beautiful the cover is because it looks so promising.

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT, I'm back with more Sad Boat Books for Sad Boat People! But first, some words.

I never dreamed that a silly little graphic I made for some friends would generate this much response on twitter and here, but I'm overjoyed that it resonated with so many of you! I read every single comment and tag, and by far my favorites are all of the people who say some variation of "I thought I was the only one who loved these books." We are NOT alone, there are literally thousands of people who reblogged or retweeted this list-- people of all ages and backgrounds and gender identities. Sad Boat isn't just for old white men! I was also delighted to hear from other librarians who are using this in displays and for reader's advisory. PLEASE go forth and do so with my blessing, nothing would make me happier! I was recently laid off from my librarian job as part of a restructuring under new management (don't worry about me, it sucks right now but I'm gonna be fine), so I would love to think that I'm still contributing to the library ecosystem while I'm out of commission. I would also love to keep making these lists (including one that deals with Sad Boat fiction and one with recommendations for other types of media), and I've never had more time to do it, so if you have suggestions, please drop them in my inbox!

Anyway, enough of that-- here are more books! I've either read all of these, or the recommendation came from someone I trust, so read with confidence!

Royal House expert: -⁠ Seems to have forgotten the art of celebrating with the people

Royal House expert Trond Norén Isaksen believes the Norwegian Foyal Family has much to learn from its Danish royal guests.

There have been magnificent parties, receptions and a lot of glitz and glamour in connection with the new Danish royal couple's visit to Norway this week.

- It is the task of the royal houses to highlight the state and its symbols with a festivity that the political power holders cannot afford, says royal book author Tor Bomann-Larsen to VG.

He thinks that it is natural that the display of splendour is at its strongest in the meeting with our old union partner, Denmark.

- The contrast with the state visit from Moldova is almost striking, although the political significance of this visit was perhaps just as great, Bomann-Larsen insists to VG.

- The so-called "pomp and splendour" stage makes the monarchy visible, but monarchies are not alone. There are also republics, such as the French one, with much pomp and splendour. This contributes to exalting the monarchy or the president, says historian and royal house expert Trond Norén Isaksen to VG.

- Then, it is the case that tiaras and gala dinners attract more attention from the media and the public than all-weather jackets and breakfast meetings. Therefore, a little pomp and splendour can help to increase the royal family's visibility, continues Isaksen.

"Most people"

He is of the opinion that in Norway, the royal family's current goal is for the royals to be like most people.

- People appreciate a down-to-earth royal house but also expect there to be something a little special and different about them. They shouldn't be exactly like the rest of us.

Norén Isaksen points out that the Norwegian royal house has much to learn from its royal Danish guests and the Swedish and British royal houses.

- When King Carl Gustaf celebrated his 50th anniversary last year, there was a grand gala dinner at Stockholm Palace. But the royal couple also went on a carriage and boat procession through the city, which ended with a large outdoor concert at the castle—a concert that was open to all and attracted many people. The Danish throne change was also a public celebration, and 174,000 people gathered outside Christiansborg Castle.

VG's commentator, Yngve Kvistad, writes that King Frederik is the influencer king.

- Europe's youngest monarch is criticized for being less visible than her mother. But King Frederik has several platforms where he meets people, writes Kvistad.

It is far from the Norwegian royal reality, according to Norén Isaksen.

- The Norwegian royal family, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten the art of celebrating with the people. When Princess Ingrid Alexandra celebrated her 18th birthday in 2022, the castle balcony was empty, and she drove in a closed car from the Castle to Deichman. "Why not an open car down the Karl Johan [street]?" asked people who were disappointed that they couldn't see her or take part in the celebration in any way.

According to Norén Isaksen, another example is the Crown Prince Couple's celebration of their joint 50th birthday last year.

- It took place behind high fences in the Palace's backyard with specially invited guests, again without the people being able to see them or participate in the celebrations. It would never work in Denmark, says Trond Norén Isaksen.

But there are several sides to the magnificent glitz and glamour celebration that we experience these days.

- You can wonder if a visit we've had by the new Danish Royal Couple with a lot of pomp and splendour can quickly become an escape from reality from all the bad things happening around the world, says TV 2's Royal Expert Ole-Jørgen Schulsrud-Hansen to VG.

Balance

Norén Isaksen points out that people expect that there will be some stardust.

- But not so much that it becomes unrealistic, tone-deaf or provocative. At the same time, there must not be so much pomp and splendour that it stings the eyes or that the content of what the royal family does is lost in the glare of the light. This balance varies depending on time and social conditions and is not always easy to strike.

Bomann-Larsen believes there is a sensitive tipping point in the relationship between domestic festivity and international misery.

- But in the deepest sense, the state visits clarify the countries' independence, mutual respect and recognition. A symbolic demonstration of power such as the one we see unfolding in the capital can be significant when many feel that national independence is threatened. Perhaps that is precisely why it is applied so thickly?

Yves Costille, cyclo navigateur

Sortie vélo 12 janvier 2022

Parmi ceux qui ont souhaité partager l'hommage rendu à Yves Costille, ils sont nombreux à avoir découvert une passion qui l'animait et qu'ils ignoraient. Aux souvenirs du gardien de but de Pontailler-sur-Saône, du cycliste chevronné qui a inscrit son nom au palmarès du Challeng'Afrique en mai 2015, du pilote de tandem dévoué à Jérôme, déficient visuel du Club de Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur, s'ancrera désormais l'image d'un navigateur.

On doit la commémoration marine suivante, à Danielle, secrétaire de l'association Ascola, le Club croisière dijonnais.

Yves, je vais parler de toi au nom de l’ASCOLA association qui a permis à de nombreux dijonnais mais pas que, de pratiquer la voile de croisière sans bourse délier, même si Dijon, en France, est l’un des endroits les plus éloignés de toute mer.  

Tu as succédé à Maurice Bomann comme président et tu l’as été pendant 12 ans, ensuite tu es devenu trésorier, notre actuel président est Max Ducuing dont je salue la présence ici. 

Pour nombre d’entre nous tu as été le pilier de notre association, bénévole bien entendu. De nombreux chefs de bord nous ont aussi accompagnés bénévolement : Maurice, Jean-Paul, Hervé, Lionel, Max, Serge, Philippe, Robert, Gérard, Bernard et j’en passe. Beaucoup sont ici aujourd’hui. Ils ont emmené les membres de l’association naviguer en Italie, en Croatie, dans les Antilles, en Polynésie. 

Yves, certes tu aimais naviguer mais par-dessus tout partager et transmettre, tu nous a permis de découvrir et aimer ces voyages écologiques avant l’heure et si « prenants ». 

Tu as organisé, avec d’autres bien sûr, des croisières côtières, hauturières, des week-ends de voile de loisir à Panthier, des visites au salon nautique pour louer les bateaux et le fameux anniversaire des 20 ans de l’ASCOLA en 2002 où les adhérents se sont retrouvés sur 2 grands voiliers : l’Etoile polaire et l’Etoile molène pour un tour dans les Anglo- Normandes, navigation, chants et danses, bonne chère et bons crus, quelle Fête et quelle convivialité ! 

Grâce à tes connaissances très pointues acquises aux Glénans, à ton calme, ta patience envers les néophytes tu as su transmettre, rassurer, permettre de progresser et de devenir plus autonome. 

Attention, patience et calme ne signifient pas manque de fermeté car tu savais aussi cadrer quand il fallait.  

J’ai souvent navigué à ton bord avec Hélène. Avec toi j’ai appris le vocabulaire maritime nécessaire pour que l’équipage se comprenne : pas de cordes ou de ficelles mais des écoutes, des drisses, des bouts, des aussières, des bras de spi etc… 

Appris à lire les cartes marines, à calculer les 12èmes des marées, le marnage, les courants leur sens et leur vitesse, les allures de la voile au vent, comment négocier les vagues en cas de houle, de quel côté   franchir les bouées cardinales, les alignements de feux pour les entrées de port la nuit, les phares (les Héaux de Bréhat, Keréon, la Jument, le Stiff et reconnaître leurs éclats pour se repérer). Un autre monde. 

Nous n’avions pas de GPS et tout se faisait à l’estime. Heureusement, pour toi, c’était simple et clair même si pour certains d’entre nous c’était un vrai casse-tête. 

Tu nous as emmenés dans tous les ports et les mouillages de Bretagne et de Vendée, en Normandie aussi, au départ du petit port de Diélette dans le Cotentin, aux iles Scilly, à l’ile de Wight et à Portsmouth, dans les Anglo-Normandes : Jersey, Guernesey, Serk et les îles Chausey. 

Tu as pris la responsabilité d’escadres de bateaux, 3 ou 4 voiliers et même 8 ou 9 petits Muscadets dans le Golfe du Morbihan. Quelle responsabilité effectivement ! Toujours en alerte au cas où l’un d’entre eux soit en difficulté, s’avise de partir toutes voiles dehors en ayant oublié de relever son ancre par exemple, s’échoue sur un banc de sable ou ne parvienne pas à quitter son mouillage à Chausey où c’est toujours difficile ou encore parte dans la mauvaise direction. ça n’étaient pas des vacances pour toi mais toujours le partage, l’engagement. 

Avec toi nous avons navigué en toute confiance et sécurité, même dans les endroits dangereux dont les noms donnés par les marins  font peur : des récifs appelés Pater Noster ou la balise nommée La Noire Pute dans les parages de Guernesey. Avec toi on les passait sans trembler. 

Il y a tout de même une chose que tu faisais qui était désagréable c’est quand, bien blottis dans notre couchette, tu venais nous réveiller car c’était notre tour de quart de nuit. 

J’ai un souvenir heureux et ému d’un super quart de nuit avec Hélène. 

Et la vie à bord, l’amitié encore, le partage des tâches pour les manœuvres, la conduite du bateau et la vie quotidienne. Les repas arrosés ou non, les histoires drôles qu’on avait le temps de se raconter pendant les longs bords. Tu en connaissais beaucoup, je ne me souviens que de celle où il s’agissait de gagner des Bounty… ça dira sans doute quelque chose à ceux qui ont navigué avec toi. Beaucoup de rires partagés aussi. 

Une navigation m’a particulièrement interpelée : toi qui aimais les mouillages forains et les petites escales, cette année-là nous avons fait tous les ports ayant des cafés disposant de télévisions. 

En fait c’était en 1998 et, bien sûr, pas question de louper la coupe du monde de foot (une de tes autres passions), faut pas exagérer quand même. 

Bref Yves, je résume, désintéressement, partage, transmission, savoir rassembler autour de soi, amitié, responsabilité, énergie, gaieté, compétence, patience et bonne humeur. 

Pour moi Yves tu respires le large, le vent, l’ouverture et pour chaque coin de côte Bretonne j’ai dans le cœur Yves et Hélène. 

Bientôt je vais me rendre à l’île de Sein et là je vais vous retrouver  tous les deux entre les feux deTévennec, de la Vieille et le pignon peint d’une bande noire sur une maison, pour signaler l’entrée dans le petit port de Sein. 

A bientôt Yves

3, 12, 17 & 25 for the book asks (*'▽'*)

(i replied to 3 & 17 in a previous ask, so i'll just do the others)

Any books that disappointed you? - Wicked Angels by Éric Jourdan. had i read that as a teenager i would’ve been all over it, but reading it as an adult i just couldn’t get over how melodramatic it was… which makes sense, given the author was a teenager himself when he wrote it, and the style is still worthy of praise imo, but the plot did feel very much like a soap opera - Agatha by Anne Cathrine Bomann. all i can say about that book is… thank god it was only like 90 pages long - The Life and Loves of a She Devil by Fay Weldon. this one was especially heartbreaking bc Down Among Women was probably the best book i read last year, but this one was just… no. too dated, too on the nose, not funny enough. thanks but no thanks.

What reading goals do you have for next year? i usually never set any reading goals for myself. however, this year i've tried it to see if i could manage it and in theory i did (i set myself a reading goal of 50 books and so far i've read 63), but in practice it only confirmed what i already knew about myself, which is... i really shouldn't set any reading goals for myself bc they give me too much anxiety haha

Request Free Sample Report:

https://www.tritonmarketresearch.com/reports/germany-refrigeration-appliances-market#request-free-sample

 The housing and construction industry in Germany is witnessing growth. This is expected to further supplement the demand for refrigeration appliances across the nation, and, in turn, contribute to the studied market’s growth over the forecasted period.

However, manufacturers face a shortage of raw material supply due to process bottlenecks. This is likely to hamper the country’s market growth in the forthcoming years.

The German population consists of a large number of families, which necessitates the use of large refrigeration appliances for food storage. Owing to the increased energy consumption by older appliances, there is an increasing demand for replacement products. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the refrigeration appliances market in Germany during the forecasted period.

Liebherr Group, BSH Hausgerate GmbH, Miele, C Bomann GmbH, and Haier Group Corporation are some of the notable players in this market. BSH Hausgerate GmbH dominated the German market in 2020 and 2021. Also, in 2021, Liebherr Group launched a new range of fully integrated refrigeration appliances, incorporated with the new HydroBreeze function. Such innovative developments are anticipated to be especially preferred by customers.
