Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young GirlAnne Frank\'s Tales from the Secret Annex Ok, fine I’ll admit it. I cheated on Rory’s book club. The plan was to read every book, even if I’d already read it. I couldn’t read any non book list books during this time because then I would get distracted by something shiny & my plan would fall apart. The plan held until “Anne Frank: A Diary of Young Girl”. I’d read it before, & this book should really be required reading for all human kind. Maybe then they wouldn’t kill each other so much. Anyways, the plan was diverted when next to this book I saw “Anne Frank’s Tales from the Secret Annex”. I had always thought her diary was the only thing she had written. I thought this mostly because people always told me that her diary was the only thing she had written. People are silly. So I read this collection of short stories & it was amazing. Even if I just picked it up without knowing who she was, the writing stands by itself. It is truly magical, & if you haven’t read it you might want to. Next time someone tells you Anne Frank’s diary is all we have of her, clap your hands over your ears & scream “lalalala I can’t hear you”
