Pickpick

A poignant read about life in the Netherlands shortly after WWII. The narrator is a young Jewish woman who lost her whole family. She wants to look forward and adapt to this new world and new reality. Her friend Yona, also Jewish, has a much harder time adapting. This book has no answers or judgments, just observations which makes it even better.

Megabooks Sounds interesting! 5mo

BarbaraBB @Librarybelle It was 🌞 5mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks It is very interesting and feels timely somehow even though it was written in 1966. I heard about it in a podcast and am glad I picked it up. 5mo

#weeklyforecast 24/24

This will be the week of Butter for #CampLitsy24 and the tagged Dutch one but first I need to finish The Kind Worth Killing which is a fast paced palette cleanser!

Megabooks Oh no! I have to get to butter this week, too, then! It may be towards the end of the week that I finish it. I hope that‘s okay. It‘s a crazy week for me! 6mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Of course, we still have lots of time. You can wait another week if you like, no problem at all 💛 6mo
Megabooks I‘ll definitely start it this week. Hope to finish it, too, but we‘ll just have to 🤞🏻. 💜 6mo

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Of course! Take your time 🩷 6mo
