The Memory Thief (2007) ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

View On WordPress

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: The Memory Thief was an intricate take on if the currency of the world was memories. You really don’t think about how having memories taken away from you can impact your life. Until I read this book, I didn’t think about what could happen if I ever lost precious memories because I sold them or they were stolen. It makes you appreciate that nothing like that could ever happen. I loved how it showed the growth of the main character, Etta, who went from trusting no one and only living in the past to learning to trust the people she loves and how it’s okay to remember the past and that it strengthens instead of weakens you. The family and friend love in this book was something I really enjoyed since my love for mine is what makes up a big part of my life. There’s one quote I wanted to share that I felt related to me and my life immensely. In the book, Etta says “My mother once told me our friends make up parts of our souls.” Once I read that quote, I felt very attached to Etta because anyone in my life knows that my family is always first, but if you’re also my friend, you are included in that. My friends mean so much to me and have always been there for me that they’re the family I chose. The one thing I didn’t like about this book was the romance between Etta and Reid. I felt like it was rushed and couldn’t understand or relate to their relationship at all. This is also the second book this month that this has happened to me, so I’m worried I’m just falling out of romance or I just really like slow burn romances now. WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME??!! I CANNOT NOT LOVE ROMANCE, THAT’S NOT ME!! . . Anyway, do you notice that your reading taste is changing and how? Do you feel like it’s a good or bad thing? #thememorythief #laurenmansy #review #october #tbr #read #bookstagram #friendship #bookclub (at Fairfax, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B373yBvDy04/?igshid=jb0bwdrul3q0

Currently 📖: I’m about 100 pages from finishing The Memory Thief 🔑 and I’m really enjoying the whimsical world that revolves around memories. I also LOVE the family and friend relationships that are woven throughout this book. . . Props to the Grand Commons @peets and my awesome co-workers for the awesome ☕️ and latte art. My go to winter drink is a mocha with almond milk which was perfect last weekend since it’s FINALLY cold enough out to drink it. #thememorythief #laurenmansy #currentlyreading #reading #bookstagram #october #tbr #peets #coffee #bts #fandomsleeves (at Peet's Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u8lw0D7xe/?igshid=1wwzafwktvwal

Seventeen-year-old Etta Lark is desperate to live outside of the corrupt culture, but grapples with the guilt of an accident that has left her mother bedridden in the city’s asylum. When Madame threatens to put her mother up for auction, a Craewick practice in which a “criminal's" memories are sold to the highest bidder before being killed, Etta will do whatever it takes to save her. Even if it means rejoining the Shadows, the rebel group she swore off in the wake of the accident years earlier. . .
