Having wrangled some gnarly filing systems, I feel this in my BONES.
Decapitation by hand seems to be a theme with this group....
pickWell written, good story. I can see why it won awards.
I liked the glimpse into Baghdad during the regime change upheaval. I liked most of the characters and the building of the story.
I may have enjoyed this more than the original Frankenstein.
4⭐️ recommend if you enjoy a good retelling
pickIt took awhile to read but it helped me understand the integrity of Eisenhower and his point of view on WW2. At the end he says that it was proven that a collaboration of allies could defeat a strong and evil foe to preserve liberty. He could have said more about Russia, but it was too soon.
“...just settle for ripping their heads off...“
He's got a plan, and safety protocols!
Well thought out indeed...🥴🧛🏻♂️
pickExcellent graphic non-fiction about “comfort women“ (Japanese euphemism for “prostitute“ which refers to the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery during WW2)
Beautifully illustrated, this book offers the moving testimony of a comfort woman. The author also shares her thoughts, she draws herself during the interviews, during her research, which adds value, and also shows how politically this issue is still unresolved.
so-soI‘m a huge fan of Roach‘s, but I admit that the subject matter is why it was the last one of hers on my TBR… it‘s my least favorite of hers for sure. The humor that I usually chuckle along with falls flat & disrespectfully here. Plus, the research here feels redundant across her other books— from bird strikes & other animal testing like in Fuzz, cadaver handling in Stiff, fabrics & extreme temperatures in Packing for Mars & smells & poo in Gulp!
