Hi friends! It’s new review time and today we are talking about THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ by Heather Morris. A lot of you were very curious about this one, because it’s very popular and has received some very strong criticism. My full review is over ✨on the blog✨, but here’s the mini for you:
•
There are two things I liked about this book. First, the actual interviews and research Morris did with Lale to record and share his unique perspective were important for us all to know. And second: To provide hope in a time without any is an act of heroism, and Morris lifts that up above all throughout Lale and Gita’s story.
On the other (more dominant) hand, the book itself is not a sophisticated or well-written work of fiction and I think for this reason, many people have criticized it for romanticizing the events of the Holocaust. While I can see where those people are coming from, I don’t really agree. In my opinion, the book has very good intentions, but simply fails in execution. The author struggles to connect on a deeper emotional level through her prose, and as a result even her main characters lack depth and events transpire in an oddly linear, even rosey at times fashion. Morris wrote this story as a screenplay originally, and the writing does not hide this fact. Overall? I commend the author for finding this unique perspective of the Holocaust and sharing its message of hope and perseverance with the world. However, it is undeniable that Lale and Gita’s story is sold short by bad writing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did you ever want to be a writer?” “No,” she said, and she would have told him. “I only wanted to be a reader.” —— Commonwealth
Happy Monday book lovers!! I have finished yet ANOTHER book this month. Commonwealth is a beautiful story about a two families who find themselves intertwined through a series of dramatic moments. I’ll share my full thoughts in a few days. For now I just want to bask in the glory of this family drama.

Lately I’ve really been enjoying books that follow families or books that follow a characters lifespan. Who are your favourite fictional families?

Have had so little time to read this week that I cannot WAIT to sit on my booty and enjoy some time off tomorrow. I might even need to pull some weekend reading material out of the stacks, like a thriller or a romance! •
•
any suggestions for a good weekend book? I’m all ears!
Hi friends! Can you believe this SUN and this adorable block of my very favorite neighborhood What a beautiful day in Chicago. ✨ [#thespineswalks] •
Anyway, hoppin’ on here to tell you about this book I’m reading and loving right now. MODERN LOVERS by Emma Straub is full of characters that I’m absolutely in love with. Elizabeth is flawed, but an overall wonderful friend and mother; Lydia is painted as a larger-than-life hologram of a human, as famous people often are in real life; Zoe is unbelievably chic; Ruby and Harry are stumbling through life as is typical of 17 year olds. On the other hand, I find Elizabeth’s husband absolutely DEPLORABLE and I love to hate everything he says and thinks. The part I read this morning on the train to work had me FUMING.

While I’m on a roll, let’s chat about characters we love to hate! (some of my other ones? Peter Pettigrew from HP and Julian from The Secret History. ) tell me yours here!
