Welcome to German Literature Month XV November 2025

Welcome to German Literature Month XV

Hopefully many of you have a nice selection of books or a reading list for #germanlitmonth.

Remember  – anything that was originally written in German can be read during #germanlitmonth. You don’t have to follow Tony’s and my schedule but if you choose to do so, here’s the full schedule for the month:

November 1st-9th: Genre Week
You could choose novels or short stories, but maybe you’d like to try something different, such as poetry or a play.

November 10th-16th: City Week
Pick either a book set in a particular city, or an author from a particular city.

November 17th-23rd: Thomas Mann Week
Let’s celebrate the great man’s 150th birthday in style.

November 24th- 30th: GDR Week
Any author from the former German Democratic Republic is possible.

The best way to share those reviews and ensure they show up on the index is to leave a comment below. Alternatively advertise your reviews on Twitter (X), Bluesky, FB or Instagram using the hash tag #germanlitmonth.

This is it for now. Happy reading everyone.
