Canary Girls: A Novel | 
pickI‘ve of course heard about Rosie the Riveters of WWII but hadn‘t heard any of that sort for WWI, so this was nicely educational with interesting characters.

pickJennifer Chiaverini‘s books for me are either so good I can‘t put them down (Resistance Women) or too boring for me to want to keep picking up (Switchboard Soldiers). This one was so good and I couldn‘t put it down! Now, as I say that, you have to first meet every character and get their backstory before things really get moving. Stick with it through the first 80ish pages (if you can), the story really gets going after that 👍
A view from my vacation with my husband to Louisville, KY. We stayed at our first B&B which was in a Victorian mansion, this was the covered backyard porch. I want to go back!!
pickThis WWI novel highlights the unique role the Munitionettes of London played during the years of war. Told in three perspectives from across economic groups, Helen, an Oxford professor‘s daughter and staunch suffragette, Lucy, a homemaker & mother of two wed to her childhood sweetheart who is now an architect & a famous footballer, & April, a young woman entering domestic service eventually all come together in this engaging & informative read!
My suitcase is almost packed and ready for our vacation starting tomorrow 🙌 The plan is to start “Canary Girls”, but have “First Ladies” as a backup. Jennifer Chiaverini is a hit or miss author for me, so I‘m hoping for a hit (but planning in case it‘s a miss 😇).
pickThis one was a real page-turner. Reminded me a great deal of the book Atomic Girls. This was a part of history I really wasn't fully aware of during WWI. This is a cross of A League of Their Own and Atomic Girls and it'd one I think everyone should read. Solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟 read.
