To what lengths would you go to save books?

The book asks this question on a macro level, but I saw it as more personal.

5/5

This is a solid addition to the cannon of WWII stories. It‘s been translated from Spanish and I thought the translator did a wonderful job. Several passages were quite beautiful. I‘m in a major funk at the moment, as I keep hearing countless stories from friends and family about the current anti-Semitic attacks occurring throughout the US as well as Europe & Canada. After reading this book I can‘t help drawing the parallels. My heart is heavy 💔

Cinfhen So true, thanks friend xxxx Hope work is quieting down @TrishB I‘m listening to the new Gary Numan...not sure what to think of it yet...definitely channeling his 80 vibes!!! Creepy cover art 4y
Cinfhen Thank Gd for flowers @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks they bring me DAILY JOY 💜 4y
TrishB Aww, I don‘t think this album will be your thing, but I actually love that you‘ve listened ❤️ the cover is definitely his Pennywise moment. 4y
Megabooks Cindy, I am so sorry. I understand your heart must be full of worry. Sending love to you and the Jewish community. 💕 4y
KarenUK Thinking of you sweet friend. So much heartbreaking news everyday. 💕 4y
alisiakae My in-laws are visiting right now, and the current spike in anti-semitism in the US definitely gives us pause when we all go out in a group together. 😔 3y
Cinfhen The boy who was violently beaten in NYC last week, is my friend‘s son @4thhouseontheleft when a Jew can‘t wear a kippah in Manhattan and my daughter is afraid to wear her tiny Hamsa necklace in Brooklyn for fear of being identified as Jewish we need to wake up and realize something is VERY WRONG. These attacks aren‘t on Israeli‘s, they‘re on Jews!!!! Any problems one has with the Israeli govt has nothing to do with beating Jews on US soil 💔💔💔 (edited) 3y
Cinfhen It terrifies me @4thhouseontheleft @KarenUK 😔 3y
alisiakae @Cinfhen completely agree. I am so sorry to hear that was your friend's son. How is he doing? Maya stopped wearing her Star of David necklace to school. (although nothing has happened at school, thankfully) 😔 And no matter how I feel about Bibi (our whole family has not been a fan for a long time) or some of Israel's actions, attacks on Jewish Israeli's isn't okay either. 3y
Cinfhen Oh yes, I agree completely attacks on anyone is NEVER ok. I sent my friend Amy an email and she just responded he‘s very shaken up, broken ribs/ sprained wrist/ vision problems and completely traumatized @4thhouseontheleft No one came to his aid 😢 although sh said the outpouring from within the Jewish community has been amazing 3y

“Books don‘t have owners; they‘re free agents we just happen to hold for a brief time.” That‘s definitely the way I view books. I prefer to read them and then share them, although I‘m always “envious” when I see so many Littens beautiful shelves😍📚🙌🏻❣️#NetGalley #ARC

I received this ARC from Edelweiss. I found the letters written to a famous French author to be awkward until the very end. This isn‘t a true epistolary novel but it does incorporate letters written by the protagonist. It took me a bit to get involved in the story but once I got there, it was pretty intense.
