Started this book a couple of hours ago and I‘m more than halfway through. Absolutely cannot put it down. Man‘s inhumanity to man is beyond comprehension but so too can be man‘s resiliency when anchored in faith ❤️

Nightmare is an understatement.

I greatly enjoyed this book. Some of this information was absolutely revolutionary to me. Some of it I already knew, but he took those a step or more - further than I dared take them previously - to their logical end. There is nothing shocking about this book, honestly.

GingerAntics If one has thought critically about all the stories one has been told as a child and compared them with the actions of the story tellers, this falls right in line with what you already know, but adds more to broaden that understanding. I can definitely see this as a conversation starter for the open minded, and would gladly read it again with a good group. 3mo

This one is heavy on the heart. I am ashamed to admit that I was woefully unaware of the genocide in Cambodia. After reading this, I read up on the same and I wonder why we as kids are not taught about this in history.

F for A to Z challenge!

Between Shades of Gray | Ruta Sepetys

Book number 4. Wow. I‘ve had this sitting on my shelf for nearly a year. I picked it up and read it in one sitting. Sepetys is an incredible historical fiction author and you can feel her character‘s thoughts and emotions bleed of the page. A part of history not often talked about but so important. 8/10

I‘m not sure how to review this book that deals with such a serious subject as the Bosnian war and the massacre at Srebrenica. I‘ll be thinking about it for a while, but at the same time I found the mystery elements to be a bit lacking.

In any event, I finished this mystery and two other books (The Beauty in Breaking & The Return of the King) during the #35by35 #readathon and will keep working away at the mysteries. #wrapup

Happy almost birthday to @MatchlessMarie !

For this #readathon I‘m doing something a little different. Instead of #35by35 I want to read 35 mysteries by the end of the year, but I can make a lot of progress toward that if I concentrate on mysteries for the next ten days. So far I‘ve read 24 mysteries, which leaves 11 more to go to reach the goal. They may or may not all be the ones in the picture, but I‘m currently reading the tagged book.

MatchlessMarie Love your themed goal. Good luck! 🕵🏻‍♀️ 🧁 5mo

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!

An important part of history, but I didn't really care for the book.
