Definitely not my typical genre but wow I really enjoyed this book! From the action to the escalation of the story to the romantic side of things it was just wonderful. I loved Fayre and what a strong character she continued to be throughout the story. I‘m excited to continue reading this series!

Jennifer Robson gives you ALL the feels with this book! I absolutely devoured this book! It was just all around a great story with a very satisfying ending! You couldn‘t help but love Nina and she pulled on your heart strings with all she went through. One of my favorite books so far this year!

#SassyBookworm😏 #OurDarkestNight #HistoricalFiction #Libby

Wow! Amazing novel! It started out a bit slow but honestly you needed that. I loved Georgie & her passion to prove herself as a budding young journalist amongst her mostly male peers. She was naive which in a foreign country on the brink of war made quite the interesting tale. I could hardly put the book down from the 50% mark. I loved how the ending wrapped up, one of the best endings I‘ve read this year!

Finally able to finish this book (it returned to the library before I could finished the last 20%). I really loved going back into this world and the OASIS. I loved the excitement and page turning action of this book. I also liked the great ending that tied up things nicely (I don‘t believe there will be another, and shouldn‘t be).

1.) Our church is hosting a Parents Night Out on Saturday so with our little one having a blast with friends we will go bowling 🎳 with some friends!

2.) Kindness, attentive listener and honesty

3.) I loved Magic Julep bc it‘s one of the series that jump started me back in to reading and it‘s such a fun read

Join in the fun!!!

While this books description pointed to things during the war the reality wasn‘t the case. Though parts of the book took place during the war the main storyline of between Ruby & Stevie didn‘t.I loved the mousey character of Ruby, she just pulled on your heartstrings and you wanted such good things for her. And that shocker of an ending! Wow!

I absolutely love this series! It was so good to get back to the Isle and reconnect with my favorite characters. I feel like in this installment Lily is faced with a huge amount of issues and this time she really has to face them alone. Between personal problems with her father to saving a nation and then saving the world this book was a definite page turner!

#SassyBookworm😏 #MagicJulep #GinaLaManna #MagicAndMixology

I feel in love with Lila & Sandrine! Two different women whose stories you follow from the beginning to the ending of the Nazi occupation in Paris. Both had completely different experiences & it was interesting to see how their paths in a way crossed. Both worked for the resistance and had to work with/for the enemy. This kept me on my toes at times & melted my heart at other times.

I absolutely loved this story. Emily was such a sweet character who you couldn‘t help but love. From her daily struggles as a wartime nurse to having to deal with the Spanish flu pandemic you could see the parallel to nurses today. The biggest loop was with the return of her fiancé Lewis and the surprises that come with him.
It was very difficult at times to put this book down & I felt it ended way to quickly.

Thanks for the tag @eeclayton

1.) Sadly not that I know of

2.) Just Goodreads

3.) I would love to see The Great Library series put into a tv series and have the beautiful picture quality like the HBO series His Dark Materials! That would be amazing!

#SassyBookworm😏 #WonderousWednesday @Eggs

This book so far has captured my attention!!! So excited to read about this nurses story from her experience of living through the Spanish flu pandemic!

I really enjoyed this book. It started out a bit slow but quickly became difficult to put down. I loved the two stories that had you in the past and recent present. Although the love interest Kat had in my opinion was a little far fetched and wasn‘t necessary. But overall I loved this book and the reveal it had at the end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So I‘ve been at my new workplace for about a month now, it‘s been the best thing I‘ve done! I have gotten away from a very toxic work environment and thrust myself into a whole new world πŸ‘€. Today I‘m doing some of the eye testing and we don‘t have that many patients so, I‘m diving into this book that everyone says is great!
I really love my new job!!! β€οΈπŸ‘€

Absolutely loved this true story about real life spy/resistance leader Nancy Wake Ficotta. I honestly loved how the story was mainly told from Nancy‘s perspective but it felt in a way backwards but yet it worked perfectly!

#SassyBookworm😏 #ReadyPlayerTwo #Libby

Beautiful story! Told from Lana‘s perspective, which I love books that are told from a single perspective. What is the most tragic day in her life ends up propelling her into a life she would have never expected for herself as a resistance spy. Lana is such a wonderful character who reminds me of myself being strong, independent & a little stubborn at times. Highly recommend this for WWII historical fiction lovers!
#SassyBookworm😏 #ARC #NetGalley

This was a captivating novel right from the beginning. Taylor‘s story has you in present time with her secretly trying to find out about a mysterious woman who is in a picture with her deceased father. Ava‘s beautiful adventure takes you on a trip on the Titanic. The twist and turns both stories take you on keeps your curiosity peaked. And it all came to a beautiful ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Reading homework at home with mommy πŸ’œ She loves Junie B Jones and by the looks of the library book it‘s quite popular at her school!

#SassyBookworm😏 #RaisingReaders #2ndGradeReading #JunieBJones

So I couldn‘t finish my last book before it returned to the library plus I was dragging my feet. But hopefully this book will perk me up a bit. I‘ve always loved all things Titanic even at young age my parents took me to a traveling museum and I walked around by myself through the self guided tour. So I‘m hoping this helps my reading slump end!

Do you wanna know a secret! I‘m accepting a new job! My work place has contributed so much to my anxiety/depression besides the fact that they never promote within so there is no way to grow. I had been looking for a job before covid w/o success. Had an interview last Friday for an amazing opportunity! With training, continuing education & drive to succeed with this new job the sky is the limit! This isn‘t a job it‘s a career! I think I‘m ready!

This series is great! Book 2 didn‘t disappoint and still has the build up to finding the allusive Kronos. I love India and Matt and their budding relationship. This series has truly helped me get out of my reading slump!

This series has been a big help with getting me outta my rut! It‘s just a good historical cozy mystery and it has kept me interested from book 1! I‘ve gotten in a good routine of listening to this each night while getting ready for bed. I‘m so close to finishing it! Just makes me feel good!

It‘s been a while Litten‘s but I think I‘m ready to be back! 2020 has been rough on everyone, and it‘s hit my depression pretty hard. I‘m still having trouble finishing books but I‘m hoping diving back in here will help! With encouragement & love that I know is here I‘m hoping it will pick me up & bring some normalcy to the end of 2020! So for now I‘m back! I‘ve missed you all! β€οΈπŸ€“

This book was definitely not what I was expecting but Was pleasantly surprised! I love the character Kat. She is so true to life & I loved how bold & fearless she is with all the trouble her little sister causes. Barrett (sigh) what a wonderful strong male character for Kat to spar with & eventually fall head over heels for. Such wonderful characters set in the backdrop of Nazi occupied Paris.

#SassyBookworm😏 #TheSocialite #NetGalley #ARC #WWII

This was a beautiful book about heartbreak, love, loss and finding out the truth years later. Such a beautiful story with both the present day and WWII pieces that are captivating. You had such strong emotions for both story lines that you really felt what each character was going through. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

#SassyBookworm😏 #WhenWeWereBrave #ARC #NetGalley #HistoricalFiction

What an amazing ending to a truly adventurous series! Definitely one of the best series enders I have ever read. So much action and twist at every turn. It was so hard to even put down, I had to know what was going to happen next. I loved how it had a wonderfully satisfying close to the series. Tied up things neatly but left somethings to your imagination.

I have been a little torn over this book. While on one hand I loved learning all about Coco Chanel but I felt at times it was a bit lengthy in places. Coco is a wonderfully strong woman who despite very humble beginnings becomes quite a force in the fashion world. Using her intellect & status she was able to comfortably live in occupied France right in the nest of many powerful Nazis.

#SassyBookworm😏 #ARC #NetGalley #TheQueenOfParis #CocoChanel

Truly a beautiful novel seamlessly combining a modern time with the past. I was so invested in this whole story that I didn‘t want it to come to a close! From the twist to the mixing with the modern times this historical fiction was beautiful. My heart was racing at times for the WWII characters Irene and Cordelia, other times my heart broke for them. One of my favorite WWII books lately!

#SassyBookworm😏 #ARC #NetGalley #HistoricalFiction #WWII

Beautiful book told mostly through letters between friends during the war. The letters start out so hopeful that the war will end by Christmas as many newspapers has predicted at the beginning of WWI. But as the years go on you see the hope falter and the strength of the friends as people die and the war presses on. It‘s a beautiful book that definitely pulls on your heart strings!

#SassyBookworm😏 #Hoopla #Audiobook #HistoricalFiction #WWI

This book truly took you on an adventure! You thought you knew what was coming next but it would always take a twist. I loved Clara and her strong sense of self. She knew what she had to do during the war and accepted the changes post war. She stayed strong and that‘s what made her such a wonderful character to read about.

#SassyBookworm😏 #HistoricalFiction #ARC #NetGalley #TheGermanHeiress #PostWWII

I fell in love with this book! I loved Callie right from the beginning & she is such a relatable character. You laughed with her & cried for her throughout. I loved when she would read from Elisas diary & you‘d go on another adventure. Elisa was another character that you couldn‘t help but love for her passion & determination. I‘ll definitely be seeking out this authors work.

#Sassybookworm😏 #HistoricalFiction #NetGalley

This was a great book! I loved the entirety of Stella‘s story from the past! It was perfect and could have honestly been a complete book by itself. I loved that the story took place in Venice which is not a popular location for WWII historical fictions so it was wonderful to read about the war from another place. Overall I loved how everything came together at the ending and there was definitely a surprise!

#SassyBookworm😏 #NetGalley #ARC

Loved this! Loved going back into this magical world with all the adventure and excitement! Picks up right where the first book left off and again the descriptions of each place are so vivid! The war between the Orisha and the Maji continues to rage on, as the story continues. But that ending! Ohhh I‘m dying for the next installment to come out! Such a fabulous book!

The Maggie Hope series has always been one of my favorites! This new addition to the series is definitely no exception! It was fabulous! Pure Maggie! I love her quick wit and strong voice! I loved the ending and how it‘s kind of left up in the air to what adventures that Maggie will face next! Whatever the choice is I‘ll be eagerly anticipating the next installment!

Probably one of the most through books I‘ve ever read starting in WWII. I absolutely loved following Alex from the time she was β€˜presented‘ to the royal court to all throughout her life as an SOE agent and eventually an MI6 agent, to finishing up with her in her 80‘s! What a fantastic adventurous life! I hardly put it down! Definitely a strong five stars! Full review goodreads.com/Chrysta23

Absolutely loved this book! Captured me right from the beginning because Arlene is a Kentucky girl! After the devastation of the family farm to a fire and the loss of her father Arlene has to find a way to keep her family‘s hopes and dreams alive. So she joins up with the American Woman‘s Hospital as an ambulance driver. See my full review on Goodreads.com/Chrysta23

This was a beautifully written book. Though it‘s definitely not my favorite genre I did enjoy the beauty of it. There were several stories that came together and the world in which Morgenstern created was one you definitely wanted to see for yourself.

Absolutely loved this audiobook! It‘s rare that I read a book from one person‘s perspective and when I do I always seem to love it more! Audrey is a pure modern woman who is living life just as she wants, flying planes for the military and saving up for her air field.Truly a fascinating story about women who did men‘s work and not recognized until several years later!

This was an amazingly insightful autobiography by Elton John! From very humble beginnings to becoming a legend and all the crazy things in between! What a roller coaster of a life he has had. It was amazing read and of course so neat with all the name drops of so many famous artist!

Really enjoyed this series! This was quite the climatic conclusion that was building up throughout the first two, yet the epilogue gave you a sense that she may not be finished just yet with this series. I have loved the twist on the classic Peter Pan, definitely a childhood favorite, & enjoyed watching the development of the characters throughout this series! Hopefully another book is in the works!
