20% off at Indigo for teachers is a siren call, especially when having a plum plus card gets you an additional 10% off. What‘s a bookworm to do?
El diario de Ana frank es un libro muy conmovedor, porque se narran tantas emociones de tal manera que te hace sentir todo por lo que están pasando en ese momento las personas, te narra desde una perspectiva más realista el sufrimiento que pasaron las personas durante el olocausto y como es que era su vida, mientras eran discriminados y rechazados por la comunidad nazi.
Este libro me gustó mucho porque es una manera de volverte más empático
Clearly I couldn't be trusted in the Anne Frank Huis book store haha

pickSo far so good! The fact that I usually like books that have been translated makes me think I need to move.
so-soApproaches to grief: 1) screaming at trees, 2) leaving voicemails for the dead. Slim volume, sparse and deadpan. Solid trans. from the Dutch by Jozef van der Voort. 2020
9 “One guy I spoke to suggested I get some therapy. What kind? I asked. I didn‘t dare tell him I‘d already tried just about everything and my last therapist and I had both given up in the end.”
11 “I had no time at all for a lot of things that happened all the time.”
pickWell-written with beautiful depictions of idyllic Dutch countryside, its deeply unlikable characters, paranoid staid Isabel and artificial encroaching Eva, made this book initially hard to get into. I saw the first “twist” coming but it‘s the second one that takes this book from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Passion, paranoia, and revenge intermingle in this story of the long shadow of history. Well done.
