1. I have my great grandmother‘s wedding ring from the 1880s. I also have my grandmother‘s engagement ring from 1910.
2. I hope this book will always be relevant and discussed.

I remember reading excerpts of this important work in high school, but this is the first time I‘ve ever read Anne Frank‘s diary in its entirety. I know that none of my own words could do it justice. It filled me with admiration and hope and sadness. I sat in silence for a few minutes after finishing. She wished to go on living even after her death, and my God, how she has. War is such a terrible waste. 🎧
Had no idea when I posted this as an answer to a QOTD in the company water cooler channel last week that halfway across the world, stress and trauma were being experienced by Jewish civilians 80 years after these words were written in a diary.
I haven‘t the knowledge nor the understanding to pretend my opinion means anything today. But I‘m horrified for all the innocent people who are suffering during this terror.
How DO we improve this world?
pickI recommend ‘the definitive edition‘ (pictured above) as never before published entries are included.
This is one of the most worthwhile books I‘ve ever read.💔
Got myself an American vintage copy (1952) of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl from shopgoodwill.com. Sometimes I like to browse their selection of books to see if I can find any hidden gems. Believe it or not this was one book I could never seem to find (used) for my collection. I see a re-read in my future.

Way over my head like my Dutch version but it's fun to try and read and understand.
Dutch version of Anne Frank's diary as well as a cute tote bag.
Since I'm now kinda studying Dutch (hopefully going to Amsterdam in March) why not read a favourite and read in Anne's original language

pickThis is one from my second set of #ClassicsClub50. I don‘t recall if I really actually read it as a kid and now that I have listened to this, I am convinced this was my first time through. I cried. Yowza. #classic #history #autobiography #Metmygoalof75booksfor2021
pick⭐️5/5 ⭐️
Out of all the books I‘ve read over my lifetime, this is the first where the ending gave me chills. Throughout the diary I just kept thinking how intelligent Anne was at such a young age, how well she wrote and relayed the complex happenings of the war and the adults‘ conversations about it. I‘ve been thinking all day how she would have changed the world had she survived. This is definitely a pick for me!
Spending summer mornings reading on my deck is extremely important self care for me. Taking care of an unwell parent is hard, so if I can spend some time in the warm sun and fresh air with a book, I think things‘ll be alright. 📖📚☀️
Thinking of Anne Frank this morning, with a mixture of gratitude and sadness.
pickUnbelievable that a child so young can write so good. Amazing read though a bit slow at times but still it is a good book. Liked it.
1. I read the tagged book multiple times as a preteen and a couple of times as an adult. It taught me, as a kid, about a horrific part of our history and keeps imparting more wisdom on each reread (all while breaking your heart).
2. Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. It‘s a ripping, intricately-plotted read and just plain FUN.
Congratulations on the big milestone, @TheLudicReader , and thanks for the fun giveaway! ❤️❤️
pickThis should be required reading everywhere.
I‘m finally reading the Diary of Anne Frank. I‘ve read a lot of historical fiction and some non fiction of the Holocaust and WW2 and have been to the Holocaust Museum in DC. My daughter was surprised I hadn‘t read it in school. Well, I‘m 55, I‘m not sure that the Holocaust was taught in school, in Iowa, back then?? Or do I just not remember learning about it?
Oh Anne... if you only knew...
"It's an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary, not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I- nor for that manner anyone else- will be interested in the unbosomings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl."
No one must know that my heart and mind are constantly at war with each other.

My mom didn't have a lot of time to read but I was assigned the tagged book and one day she told me she'd read it after I went to sleep.
1. Goodness!!! No judging lol Rhinestone Cowboy, Before the Next Teardrop Falls, Angel of the Morning
2. I love this question! I have so many things to be thankful for. Friends, family, home, pets...

so-soFinally glad I got to read this, but I think I put too much faith that I would love it. Don‘t get me wrong! This story is so important for everyone to read, but I found Anne to be a little bratty at times. Maybe I might pick something else up if I decide to read it again.
pickThis is one of those books that has been on my tbr list forever and I never seemed to find the time to read it until now.
I'm glad to have finally read the book and it's interesting to learn about the things that Anne experienced during her time hidden in the Secret Annex from the Nazi's.

Day 2
#7days7books
Books that changed me or made an impact:
I had to read this book for GCSE history at school (back in the 90‘s) and I just remember getting so upset reading this diary. It isn‘t a book to be enjoyed but it is a book that I feel showed the best view of the worst world by a brave young girl 💔
I'm going to give this prompt a little spin and only choose books and book series that I read as a child or early teen. All of these books will have impacted me in one way or another.
