The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

emotional funny hopeful informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

5.0

It feels weird to rate a diary so this rating is for Selma Blair’s narration. 

What strikes me, and maybe a lot of people, is how normal Frank is. Even with everything going on and the very real fear, she remains a young girl who had the same complaints, hopes, dreams, and squabbles that we all have. I really enjoyed my time with her, and Selma Blair brought her to life like I never could. I’ll be thinking of this diary for a while.

(5) Hundred Years to Fuck Your Aunt. 

This was entertaining, but magical realism just isn’t for me. But I’m glad I read at least one book from probably the most famous Latin American author to date.

A slow paced book I ripped through. Taylor holds a magnifying glass to the minutiae of humanity. The quiet and overlooked ways we are threaded together even as we pull apart.
