Went to the used book shop last weekend with a friend. Found these great little finds.
⭐️⭐️⭐️let me say this is not a book. It‘s a diary and reads like one. That said what a harrowing experience for this poor girl to grow up in those conditions. I had no idea what a powerful young lady she was. She would have made an awesome feminist with her forward thinking. Tragic and important story.
I am enjoying the evening with some jazz music and a good book. This dual story book is about two women in different countries during WWII. I'm glad it isn't a past-present book. It is a good pace so far and well written. I'm enjoying discovering how some of the characters are connected, it is well done by the author. I've also learned that a war pianist is a radio operator!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Follow up book to the miniaturist taking place years after the events of the first book.
I liked this for the story but as a sequel it didn‘t work for me. The miniaturist is seen even less than book 1 and the reader has no more idea at the end of this book how she gets her knowledge or why she targets the family.
Despite the awkward start (the first few pages really intense and gripping followed by a slower almost plodding pace) the book found its rhythm and turned into a solid page turner. This is one author if you read as a YA or an adult you will appreciate the story. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
Slow to start for me, but once the art forgery and double-crossing started, I was all in! I haven't read many stories featuring the Dutch Resistance, so this was a new lens for me, and I appreciated the historical notes at the end. #yalit #yahistoricalfiction
