pickA sad book on a sad day. I‘m glad I read it though. Like any other big, sad, emotional event I didn‘t really have my facts straight. Rivlin is a good writer and I‘ll read more of his books in the future.
Taking my hygge hour early tonight so that I can go to bed early. Eating cereal for dinner (Which I love- that‘s not a complaint.) and doing my best to make a dent in the tagged for my work book club. #HyggeHour
pickReally good short accounts of black individuals in the U. S. who succeeded despite hardships.
I'm going to read this short book I found in the Children's area of Salt Lake City public library (downtown main location). Look's interesting!
Made a non-serious attempt at reading this 2 years ago but it was a little bit too difficult and dense for me then. Have the audiobook to help me along this time, which is a medium I‘m new to. Although it‘s really helping me with her prose I feel like text processed this way has a shorter half-life. It gives a strong impression but details of it leaves sooner. For that reason I vary reading with listening.
pickA really well told quest of a great granddaughter‘s determination to reunite her great grandfather‘s paintings that were separated & scattered during WWII. Moshe Rynecki vividly & painstakingly painted Jewish daily life in Poland from the early 1900‘s until his deportation to the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940. A truly heart filled memoir. #Pop21 #AboutArt #Nonfiction21 #AboutFamily #Booked21 #ContainsPhotographs
“We are the shoes, we are the last witness”
Last year I had the privilege of seeing the room of shoes at Majdanek Death Camp and like @Erynecki it left me haunted. Each shoe once belonged to a living person whose life was extinguished there. It was the most humbling and emotionally exhausting experience. To know that such a gifted artist last stood there makes this book feel very personal to me as well.
“I know I‘m not talented like James Michener...but I have stories to tell. And I must, because I am a survivor, and if I do not write them, who will?” 💔#Truth #WeRemember #NeverAgain This book is so good. Thanks for putting it back on my #ReadersRadar @tpixie Fits multiple challenges too!!!
