Just finished the audio cd of #girlinthebluecoat by #monicahesse. I got it because of how much I enjoyed They Went Left, and while this didn’t have as much of an emotional impact for me, it was just as delicious and fascinating. #bookstagram #audiobooks #reading #books #yalovin #yareads #ww2 #amsterdam #yalit #yahistoricalfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0nBaZg1lR/?igshid=14iyog3d2dfqz

Day 8 of the #bookartpride challenge's topic is simply "FUN!" I was cleaning out my room and I realized that I had not ever built the Lincoln's Memorial lego set! I've actually been there and I had quite a bit of fun making this. The top with the windows comes off and there is actually a little person in there! ;-) I even got this historical fiction book about Abraham Lincoln's sister from the bookshop there! It's super interesting and I definitely recommend it. I missed day 7 and 9 due to being away at camp, but I figured I'd post this one anyway! • • • #Books #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bookish #bibliophile #book #booklove #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookpic #bookphoto #lincoln #abraham #abrahamlincoln #sallylincoln #aftertheend #historicalfiction #lego #girlinthebluecoat #soclosetoyou #fun

Girl in the Blue Coat

Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse

Genre & setting: Historical fiction, 1943 (WW2) in Holland.

*weirdly enough I don’t own “Girl in the Blue Coat”. This is just a crappy review of it. All credits go to Monica Hesse and Hachette Book Group, Inc.

Okay here’s a basic synopsis that I didn't copy straight from the back of the book surprisingly lol: An eighteen-year-old girl by the name of Henneke, is a trader who exchanges luxury items, like cigarettes and food, through the black market to the people of Amsterdam through the rations of the dead. She is a hard-working girl, keeping her secret black market business running, ensuring that her family will always have good food on the table, and on top of it all, she also grieves for her lost lover, Bas, who died when the Germans first invaded Holland. 

One day on her usual trek of deliveries, one of her clients, Mrs. Janssen, begs Hanneke to help her find a young Jewish girl that she had been harboring from the German soldier's capture who had disappeared out of the blue. Hanneke agrees to assist, cautiously. On her journey to find this young girl with the blue coat, she goes through many trials and errors and Hanneke has very eye-opening experiences she never would have gotten otherwise.

My review cause I dunno maybe someone will care: Okay I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't necessarily a long read, about four to five hours, I’d say. The writing is just about what I like. The setting definitely is lovely. The story is very intriguing, though I did predict how most of it would play out pretty early. But that's alright. I am still very satisfied with this novel. The characters are well written, and there is a good difference between all of them. My favorite characters were Ollie & Mrs. de Vries. I highly recommend anyone who is into mystery/missing person young adult books. Overall, I’m going to give this book a good seven and a half out of ten blue coats. lkgnrgeigwrgorgbp. Next up should be Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Or maybe The Metamorphosis. I dunno kay Naopan out.

I've finally come back from both my instagram and blogging hiatus! I just posted a review for Girl in the Blue Coat on my blog (link in bio), and hopefully this photo is the first of many. :-) Thanks so much to Cait @paperfury for the amazing Instagram tutorials (hint hint go check them out) that both got me back into instagram and completely changed the way I do it. You're a lifesaver, Cait! ;-) • • • #books #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bookish #bibliophile #book #booklove #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookpic #bookphoto #girlinthebluecoat #fiction #historicalfiction #camera #map #beautiful #nakedbooks
