On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice (Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books is currently managing hosting duties), and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.
Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting one of my one of my Pride Month 2024 books, Branded by the Pink Triangle by Ken Setterington. I already know I'll need tissues for this.
Beginning:
On a cold snowy day in 1944, a man in the regulation prison uniform of Nazi German's notorious Auschwitz concentration camp approached the huge stinking pit that served as a latrine in the prison yard.
56:
In January of 1940, Josef was transported by train to the camp at Sachsenhausen, on the outskirts of Berlin.
What are you reading this month? Have you read this book? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
This book sounds very powerful. Can I ask you to hop back to my blog and sign up for Friday56 again? The linky tool wasn't working for me either but it has stabilized and is up and running now.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Okay, it let me add it. 😊
DeleteI don't read as many books involving concentration camps as I used to, but they are such important stories to tell--both in fiction and nonfiction. I think I just read so many I needed a break. This does sound really good though and I'll add it to my list of possibilities. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could read this, but it does sound like an important book and probably worth reading.
