Tchotchkes and their F*cked-Up Thoughts is a niche collection delivering precisely as advertised on the title, collected and curated by Elisabeth Saake. Released 15th April 2025 by lifestyle publisher Collective Book Studio, it's 120 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a collection of simply drawn, single page entries with lots of odd tchotchkes (household items, more or less), and what they might think about where they find themselves, and how they're silently judging us.
It's not a book to be read, per se, there's no cohesive narrative at all. The vibe is sarcastic and a little edgy (hula girl reminds everyone to keep their hands off her coconuts). There are some which are clever; the arts is appealing, and overall it would maybe be a good choice for that oddball friend who enjoys finding "odd stuff".
Three stars. Strangely appealing.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
