Read-a-thon: Update Hour 13 and a half
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).

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!
I understand too. The ending is just so...abrupt. And knowing what happened next just breaks your heart.

You 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.
YAY!! You finished numero dos!!! Muy bien! (maybe you don't know spanish...)
You are WAY COOL!
I don't know that I could read Anne Frank during something like this. Too intense!
You are doing great so far!
Laying down on the job!
Forgot to say: FREEZER BOOK!
(((HUGE HUGS)))
Yeah, I read that book when I was 10, and I was traumatized for weeks, seriously.
I'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.
