Between the years, with heart and mind

that's the name of my selection, which I have currently compiled for you.
It includes titles announced for 2023, which we can look forward to especially, as well as titles that are still published in 2022 and will shine into the New Year.

Heart & Mind

These terms stand for titles that deal with topics that concern us personally or as a society (politically, economically).
On many levels, it is currently about freedom as well as the question of how sustainably we want to live in the future, so that this earth is also preserved for future generations.
I hope you enjoy the selection and wish you a Happy & Blessed New Year 2023!
