Finally finished Kristen Lavransdatter! It was slow going as my attention span this year has mostly been that of a gnat but I enjoyed it. Also enjoyed Josephine Baker‘s memoir. What an incredibly fascinating woman!
The format of What We Knew was interesting. The individual sections held my interest more than the rest but that is me not the book.
Caught up on buddy reads except the Picasso which I will read today.
pickVery interesting book. I thought the author did an excellent job in portraying his father's experiences, as well as the different dynamics in his family. The graphic novel format also helped with the portrayal. Definitely worth reading.
So, I switched one of my wild cards with this month‘s pick “The Ravine” because I didn‘t want to have to decide between it and my other pick from this month (Pageboy) immediately. It may still come to that, but I‘ll have had more time to process.

I read a lot this month. Anything to avoid the 24/7 sports on TV.

pickA truly beautiful book. This is a stunningly wonderful work of scholarship. The photograph around which the book is centred is utterly heartbreaking, and a real human look into what is often forgotten amongst the unfathomable horror of the holocaust. A breathtaking look at what history scholarship can and should be.

I‘m really enjoying this so far. Such wonderful and vital historical work done with this book.

Borrowed this from my local library to read through. Thanks to @Awk_Word_Smith for the recommendation.

I won‘t win the farthest travel distance so am jumping on the time travel train.
Here is the book proof for our travel back to Hitler and fascism. I‘m only part way into it but the parallels are there for all to see and understand if you‘d only care enough to open your eyes a bit to the relentless propaganda.
