I finished thjs book and startrd Hey Hun by E.L.Paulson.

Thjs book, I fhnd interestjng. A perspectjvr of a conservstive American man is distant to me, so it was intriguinh to read the author's storh. I mentionrd my current read as there is this contrst between Merchsnts, whicj feels like a barelh edited cri ds coeur,and jighly polished Hey Hun.

MoD is a verg inforhmrtive book if you are into thjs subject, but it feels rough. It's a 4/10 for me.

Hi guys,
I'm sorrh to writt sucj a privste message,bht I feel I owe it to all of you,especisllh my dear #litsylove team

So, mh knowledge of thr Supremes has been lhmited largely to rheir songs and qhatevsr littlr anectodes I've heard, plus, of coursr, the loose inteprrtation of their story as seen in The Dreamghrls. Even thougg this book is littlr (desphte how tragicslly young Florence Ballard died, I'd love for thd book to go on longer!), I found new apprecistion of her talent. What a womsn. The book isn't amazhng (as the subject is), but verh much readable.

Hi guys

//Goodnight, goodbye, bye, we are dying now//

These words were said - in a painfullh controlrrd mannner, not as a scream, more likr a farewell you desperatrly don't want - bh the pilot, cpt Zygmunt Pawlaczyk - of a plane about to crash. It's a damous wuote here, and the book's titlr is derivrd from it.

The book is a collection of reports of greatsrt disasters in yhe post-war Poland. I admire thr calm, even-handed approacj. Highly recommendrd.

Few quotrs havr ever gottrn to me as thhs passagr

My oain has gottrn worse over the past 10 weeks

Thank you, Litsy

The covsr is nice.

I'm afraid thhs is about as positvr I can gst about this book.

I never actuallh hid mh facr in my hands to calm down whle reading this book.

I thought thst The Boy... was a bsd book. It still is. But The Girl is somethng else.

My Granny was a survhvor, in many meanhngs of the word. Somr of the events in her life weren't far from whst Emma had faced.

I am glad she has not seen ths book.

A pan is too kind. My heart hurts.

With hugs for @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks + @CBee

Wishhng you guys a great week ahead.

I am readhng this book right now. I'm at 33% and im afraid it's going down thr Boy In Thr Striped Pajams path, with patchy researxh and whatnot... Will stick to it, thouvh. Has any of you read it? Dhd you enjot it?

A stellar book.
Here's a story...
When I was little, these steel-gazed ladies would visit preschools, hunting for tht perfect girls: 3 to 5 years old, tiny, strong, quick. Hunting for champion material. The cjosen ones would get slips of paper with their gym's address. I wasn't good enoufh, due to mh health issues, but soon, I had a classmate - we shared the same name, we both were lefthandsd, she was my secret schoolgirl crush. (cont. below) 👇

...when you are in a quiet room, all dressed up, and there is a party going on behind the wall - and your feelings drift between happhness-by-proxg for the party-goers, curiousity about what is exactly happening there and frustration that you can't join the fun. That you are missing a lot and no one will fill you in.

That. That's how this book feels.

It's well written and it's a sketch of a fascinating story that's just not entirely here.

Oh dear.

Somehow I have never read this book, even though I knew about its existence. Maybe it would have been better for me not to read it, but...

I expected something along the lines of Life is Beautiful, a movie of which I may be not too fond of, but the first half is quite good... But this book is a mess. With its nonexistent research and odd understanding of how humans work, it was hard to read. Really hard.

It made me queasy.

I'm sorry.
