Ola is 19% done with The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering
Wiesel lectures that the ‘secret’ of Auschwitz’s ‘truth lies in silence.’ Rationally comprehending The Holocaust amounts, in this view, to denying it. For rationality denies The Holocaust’s uniqueness and mystery. And to compare The Holocaust with the sufferings of others constitutes, for Wiesel, a ‘total betrayal of Jewish history’

Almost broke down and learnt Korean over the past year waiting for this translation.

Also, the library copy I have is called The Dallergut Dream-Making District. And that seems to be the official release title. Goodreads and StoryGraph need to get it together

I have to take a moment to commend this writing. With so many involved parties, names, technical details, and intertwining event timelines, there was ample potential for this to fumble its pacing and through line. But I’m so engaged and invested, it invokes the same feelings as reading a best selling thriller. Regardless of my thoughts about the content itself, I’m just pleasantly impressed by the storytelling

Ola is 62% done with The Amalfi Curse
I have been meaning to dnf this and yet somehow I’m now 62% in so I might as well finish it at this point. Unless a miracle happens in the latter half, this will be 3 stars at most. It reads stunted and almost juvenile/basic(?) for such an atmospheric premise and setting. The audiobook narration also isn’t doing it any favors tbh, especially Holmes’ chapters

I was deluding myself into believing I can finish the 17hrs left before my Libby hold expires tomorrow but it’s looking like I need to go pick up a physical copy from the library or just cave and get it on Libro fm. I’m just now getting hooked too, smh. As much as I love reading, I hate spending money on books lol. Well, specifically books that I haven’t already finished and love enough to want a personal copy

Interesting tone so far. I don’t know how I feel yet but I am pretty engaged, so. Given how almost all my other anticipated romances of the year have been flops, I’m just glad not to be hating it thus far

Ola is 48% done with My Favourite Mistake (Walsh Family, #7)
I enjoy how real and life-like Marian Keyes characters feel and how grounded in reality her stories are, but given that, am I supposed to be rooting for Joey? Because yeah he’s complex as a character in many ways I appreciate reading about but like, that doesn’t mean I’d like him with Anna at the end of all this, you know?

Okay, shit’s popping off and I’m at work and I have a meeting in 5 minutes that I need to be ready for and I wish I was the kind of person that can cool my expressions but my gagged state is written all over my face and my tiny thinly-veiled gasps and I need a break. Time out
