pickIf you are a sentimental individual this book is FOR YOU! Ev is able to feel the strong emotions associated with items. A child‘s toy and a pair of sewing scissors both harbor strong feeling from their previous owners. But she‘s not alone in her ability, only alone in the way she handles it.
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 200.

“Ev squats on a heap of garbage, one hand on the edge of the dumpster to keep her balance, listens for ghosts.”
pickThis is a debut book about a woman that can feel emotions through things and sells those things with good feelings. She comes in contact with another woman like her that holds everything, including those that have evil feelings.
I really liked the style of the writing, but I think that I have read so many books like this one that I'm over stimulated. I would recommend this story to anyone that likes magical realism.
so-soI expected something that would stir emotions and pivot around magic. The magical element existed, but the emotional component fell flat for me. Most specifically, I‘d anticipated warmth in the development of the museum plot line, but that was more a device used to bring the characters together. I do wish more energy had been put into the healing aspects.

Harriet enters the library with a bubble of joy in her chest. What a miraculous place. Seven floors of heaven, hundreds of thousands of books, and so many of them singing out their own tiny souls, brought to life through the hands of strangers.
She imagines him finding Frédérique and loving him alive. It would have to be some fierce love to brighten him so quickly, but children have that magic, the ability to love so hard, undimmed by the fear of loss.
