I'm here a little earlier than normal and I'm not going to do any blog hopping just yet because I need an emotional break. I just finished Anne and am a little shaken up. I was reading an entry in the diary--with about 18 pages left. I was just thinking to myself how I wanted to put the book in the freezer and didn't think I could bear to continue when I flipped the page and realized I had read all that was left. Nothing more. My heart broke. Anyway, I didn't read the Afterward--I'll do that another night. But for now, I'm going to take a little breather and come back in an hour (which puts me off schedule but I'll adapt).

Hope everyone is doing well! I'll catch up soon with your blogs soon. :D
I certainly understand when you need to take a break after finishing an intense book! Glad you included a picture. It is neat to put faces with names. When you are ready.....read on!
ReplyDeleteI understand too. The ending is just so...abrupt. And knowing what happened next just breaks your heart.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great Trish. Yes, Anne Frank is a really emotional book but such an important one. You need something lighter to read next. Cute pic-if I laid down like that I'd be asleep. lol.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! You finished numero dos!!! Muy bien! (maybe you don't know spanish...)
ReplyDeleteYou are WAY COOL!
I don't know that I could read Anne Frank during something like this. Too intense!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great so far!
Laying down on the job!
ReplyDelete(((HUGE HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteForgot to say: FREEZER BOOK!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read that book when I was 10, and I was traumatized for weeks, seriously.
ReplyDeleteI've read several excerpts from the diary, but I've never read it all the way through. I kind of hate the Broadway play because they try to put a positive spin on it all, give it an upbeat ending -- I see what they're getting at, triumph of the human spirit and all, but it feels false.
