#6degrees of separation: from Stasiland to Home is Nearby…

[image error]

It’s the first Saturday of the month so that means it’s #6degrees of separation time! This month’s starting book is Stasiland by Anna Funder.

You can find the details and rules of the #6degrees meme at booksaremyfavouriteandbest, but in a nutshell, on the first Saturday of every month, everyone has the same starting book and from there, you connect in a variety of ways to other books. Some of the connections made are so impressive, it’s a lot of fun to follow.

I’ve been intending on reading Stasiland for the longest time, so when it came up as the six degrees title last month, I truly had the best of intentions. Alas, all three of my children celebrate their birthdays in March, one of which was a milestone occasion: 18! Plus, my eldest son has a savage case of tonsillitis, going on two weeks now; alas, with further symptoms popping up, it turns out he has glandular fever!
