What I read: March 2025

April 1, 2025 April 1, 2025 Randi188 views

Between my trip to Italy (Venice, Rome, Florence, Pisa and back to Venice)… and fire academy… and Monument Valley…

…and writing about all of it…

…it was a bit hard to make time to read.

But with that said, I did sneak a few pages in here and there, and even though I only (re-)read one book this month, it was a must-read.

I unintentionally finished Anne Frank’s memoir as I was touching down at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for a layover on the way to Venice.

(As a reminder: I always track my reading on Goodreads.)

THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank

Recommend

I first read Anne Frank’s journal back in college after I had the privilege of visiting her secret annex during a spring break trip to Amsterdam. Anne, a teenage German Jew, spent two years documenting her time hiding in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. It’s impossible to not love the gregarious and confident Anne, who writes candidly about her time spent in hiding, her internal musings, her thoughts about the war and her impressions of her annex cohabitants.
