pickThis true story outlines the life and Jewish upbringing of Harry Lenga in Poland. The early moments of Harry Lenga‘s life might have seemed insignificant, but they would shape him into the man who would face the darkest time in human history.
Impeccably researched, with copious notes and further reading materials listed in the back. There is some great information in this section that only enhances the main story. Don‘t overlook it!
pickA light historical fiction novel that uses the theme of fragrance and the life of Grace Kelly to propel the story forward. There aren‘t any deep revelations within this novel, but the book still ticked all of my boxes, i.e. historically accurate, enticing setting, likeable characters, and a well constructed plot. I also appreciate the fact that the authors left a small twist at the end, which kept it from being tied up too perfectly.
Trying to decide what I should read next… 🤔

Getting cozy with Cormoran. I think it‘s safe to say that I am OBSESSED with this series. I‘m currently half way through the third book, Career of Evil, and loving every minute.

Snow days call for piles of quilts and cozy reads.
Less than $5 at the local used book store and it‘s never even been opened.
pickA refreshing historical novel about a young heiress and a colonial sugar plantation full of secrets. The story set in Barbados provides an insightful look at everyday life in the West Indies both pre and post emancipation. In many ways, the book reminded me of The Wide Saragasso Sea by Jean Rhys and captured much of the same feeling.
