Hello guys! How are you doing?
I know this should have been up 12 days ago…and I apologise for my delay. But I still believe in better late than never, so here I am with my post. Things have been crazily busy, and I did just turn 32, but be assured that I am 100% on this, even if it might not seem like it at the moment. There is a lot going on “behind the scenes” of Elly’s Diary, so do make sure you stay tuned.
I am excited to announce our next read for Elly’s Diary’s Book Club! After reflecting quite a while on what we should be reading next, I remembered I had an old list of ‘books to read’ probably spanning back to 2013… . After finding it and analysing it, I decided to go for The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.
I really do look forwards to reading this book, however, I honestly don’t know what to expect. I found it listed on a blog post, ages ago, as a life-changing book every girl should read. Apparently, it’s a major page-turner, and here’s the synopsis I found:
‘When I was born my mother named me after every girl in a book my father gave her called The History of Love”.
Fourteen-year-old Alma Singer is trying to find a cure for her mother’s loneliness. Believing she might discover it in an old book her mother is lovingly translating, she sets out in search of its author.
Across New York an old man called Leo Gursky is trying to survive a little bit longer. He spends his days dreaming of the lost love that sixty years ago in Poland inspired him to write a book. And although he doesn’t know it yet, that book also survived: crossing oceans and generations, and changing lives…

I cannot wait to get started!
