This is why today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay. The hope is that we never forget. But given the rise in antisemitic hate crimes in the United States, the ethnic cleansing and Genocides across the globe — including the Azeri blockade of the Armenians of Artsakh — our memories are, alas, short. Let us in 2023 not merely “virtue signal” on the social networks, but try to live lives of remembrance and decency.

Today is my late father’s birthday: a Madison Av Today is my late father’s birthday: a Madison Avenue “mad man,” a son of survivors of the #ArmenianGenocide, fluent in more languages than I knew until I was a teen, sufficiently ambidextrous to pitch as both a lefty and righty, and a man who could always say “I love you,” even though he was of a generation of men who didn’t. Today I am wearing his watch, as I do always on January 25. (It’s a model that Don Draper, another Mad Man, wore in the series one season.)

Posted @withregram • @speakingof.books Speaking of…Throwback Reviews! 

What do you get when you mix The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with an epic adventure? 

The Lioness!!

I realized the other day that most of the reviews I’ve posted on this new account have been 3⭐️, so resharing a stellar review for #tbt. 

1960’s Serengeti, Hollywood starlet Katie Barlow, her husband, and a handful of friends head out on a photo safari. Within days of arriving, they’re taken hostage and not everyone will survive the kidnapping. Filled with meaningful history surrounding The US & Russia’s involved in Africa during the mid 1900’s, this is a story of the lengths we’ll go to survive. 

This is such a unique story & I loved the way it’s narrated. Each chapter is seen from the perspective of a different character, so we have quite a few view points to keep track of. But I really enjoy getting to know what motives characters and getting a glimpse into their past. 

The imagery though is what really made this story for me. The depictions of the animals and the landscape were beautiful. But fair warning the depictions of violence (by both animals & man)can be graphic. 

I wouldn’t say this is a fast read but it is well written and really stuck with me after I finished reading. For some reason it’s categorized as a historical fiction thriller, & while there is some suspense, I think it gives a false impression of what this story is about. For me it read more literary than anything. I highly recommend reading this if you’re in need of a captivating drama. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for my full review head to SPEAKINGOF.ORG, link in bio! The Lioness comes is out now! Huge thank you to @doubledaybooks for my ARC!
