RIP Anne Rice 😔 #annerice #memorial #boleybooks #booklove #willbemissed
In memory of an amazing wife, mom, friend, librarian, and human… I challenged myself to read 75+ books in 2021. Maybe I‘ll even read some Stephen King #iwillholleryouhome #memorial #forevermissingyou #thankyou #avidreader #myothermother #bookgoals #booklover #herestoyou #loveyou
pickIn the 1940s a third of Baghdad‘s population was Jewish. In 2016, there was a population of 5.
This is an unusual graphic novel, closely based on the British-Iraqi-Jewish author‘s family history. Alongside the wordless graphics, there are short quotes on each page from family members (and some from internet friends) describing life before, during and after the Nazi influence of the 1930s/40s.
An affecting view of a completely different #Iraq,
Given the opening paragraph, I think this book qualifies for the #memorial prompt for #fourfoursin21.
Unfortunately the book wasn't terrific, but it was fine. I kept wanting Becca and Caleb's story instead, though!
My dad made the journey to the wall, alone, not telling anyone, decades ago, leaving his medals there. We didn‘t know for years. He has gone back since a few times. I hope I can go with him someday.
This book broke me heart.
