What a treat! Everyone loves a good tchotchke and this will make you adore them even more. Laugh out loud and also a bit sentimental. This would make the perfect coffee table book or gift!

What a truly absurd book! I like how committed author Elizabeth Saake to her bit. She meticulously catalogs each item by type, and then details their thoughts along with providing a great photo. This book reads as a reference guide but for the most unhinged topic ever. Great concept, great execution.

Ever wonder if your trinkets are secretly gossiping about you? Spoiler alert: they probably are. *Tchotchkes and Their F*cked-Up Thoughts* is a hilariously dark dive into the world of your collectibles—whether they’re quietly judging your life choices or sharing secrets behind your back. This book takes a playful, sarcastic look at over 50 of your favorite knickknacks, from porcelain cats to quirky desk ornaments, and imagines what they might really be thinking. Packed with witty illustrations and cheeky commentary, it gives you a fresh perspective on the things you thought were just cute decor. Each trinket—from the classic rubber chicken to your vintage lava lamp—has a personality, and they’re not shy about expressing it. With a mix of dark humor, absurdity, and a dash of sarcasm, *Tchotchkes and Their F*cked-Up Thoughts* will make you laugh out loud while you reconsider every figurine you’ve ever collected. Prepare to see your tchotchkes in a whole new light—one where they’re definitely not as innocent as they seem!

You will never look at another trinket the same way again after reading this book!
Hilarious and filled with sarcasm, dark humor, wit, and some very deep thoughts from the objects on our shelves.
