The Underrated Book Project Letter C: The Centre of my World 📖 Phil lives in an old and crumbling mansion named Visible, together with his twin sisters Dianne and their mother Glass. They make for a rather unusual family. Glass despises being called “Mom” and refuses to enter into a longer lasting relationship with any of the long list of men that go in and out of Visible. Phil wishes for nothing more than someone he can call “Dad”, and still he doesn’t even know his father’s name. Dianne has a deep understanding for everything that flutters and crawls through their garden, and people whisper that she can talk to animals. No wonder the town folk warn their children to stay far away from these people. Phil and Dianne don’t mind their unusual lifestyle. That is, not until they grow up and stop talking to each other, for a reason Phil doesn’t understand. And then again, there’s Nicholas, the new guy in Phil’s year, and he may make things even more confusing. 📚

I know I said it a million times but this book is beautiful and highly underrated. I'll keep promoting it until I die. It's a perfect summer read and a unique coming of age story. Andreas Steinhöfel's The Centre of My World and Lena's third album Stardust make for a relaxing and entertaining day at the beach, in the garden or your own comfortable bed. 📚 #storysoundtrack #andreassteinhöfel #thecentreofmyworld #diemittederwelt #dmdw #lenameyerlandrut #lena #stardust #comingofage #lgbtbooks #lgbtreads #queerbooks #queereads #gaybooks #brosofbookstagram

Here's one very underrated glbt novel that I will never get tired of talking about, so you better just read it now. It's a beautiful coming of age story perfect for summer. Make sure to check out the film, too. It's one of the best German films that I've ever seen. 📚 #diemittederwelt #thecentreofmyworld #thecenterofmyworld #andreassteinhöfel #cityofheavenlyfire #seideundschwert #harrypotterandthedeathlyhallows #catchingfire #percyjackson #gameofthrones #georgerrmartin #cassandraclare #rickriordan #suzannecollins #orangebooks #pridemonth #pride🌈 #rainbowbooks #lgbtbooks #queerbooks #bibliophile #bookstagram #instabooks #bookstagramfeature #bookswormfeature #bookishtag #bookish #bookaddict #bookporn #booklove

The Centre of my World is a highly underrated coming of age novel about Phil, his more than unusual family, his father’s utter absence from his life, and the boy he falls in love with. It’s raw, it’s poetic and so so beautiful. I can’t believe that this book is already 20 years old. The film adaptation was released last year (but I still haven’t seen it). (Also I’m so glad about the new Instagram feature, just couldn’t decide between these two pictures.) 📚

Are you a fan of short stories? Poetry? From time to time I pick up a collection of essays and shorts. @dianigrew sent me her first book "In der Kürze liegt die Würze" which I'm looking forward to reading. I also finished "Defender" a few days ago, which is a beautiful collection of short stories from world of "The Centre of My World". If you have any recommendations, please let me know. 📚 #dianigrew #inderkürzeliegtdiewürze #defender #diemittederwelt #thecentreofmyworld #andreassteinhöfel #lgbtbooks #queerbooks #shortstories #kurzgeschichten #gedichte #bibliophile #bookstagram #instabooks #bookstagramfeature #bookswormfeature #bookishtag #bookish #bookaddict #bookporn #booklove #coverlove #coverporn #bookworm #bookdragon #igreads #bücherwurm #büchereule #buchstagram #instabuch
