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.
pickI'm so glad that I listened to this book. This book not only tells you these women's stories but gives a good look at life for the lower class during the Victorian era. There is so much to these women than history shares. It is very sad how much they are forgotten and looked over because of the nature of their deaths. #audiobook #scribd #historicalnonfiction
pickInformative, and easy to read, Chicago's Great Fire doesn't only look at the historical events of 1871. It also covers the sociological aspects before and after.

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!!!
