I just finished listening to another book. I‘m counting this book for reading challenges that I‘m participating in this year.

☑️A Book From Your TBR List Chosen At Random - #popsugarreadingchallenge2021
☑️Multiple Points Of View - #beatthebacklist

Easy read with interesting characters. As an only child, sibling relationships are an interesting subject. Jealous of good sister relationships, and thankful I don‘t have one when I see sisters that don‘t get along. 3/5🌼s

Picked this novel up at a B&N remainder table. The setting intrigued me because we had toured & visited the Springfield Armory many years ago & experienced a wonderful tour. This novel makes me want to revist as they are undergoing a renovation & have plans to restore the gardens.
This novel has two settings-Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn NY post WWl & WWll Springfield Armory area.

Finished 3 books this week. Retiring Miss Emily for a later date- just a mood thing.

This is the second book by this author. I read her first book and enjoyed it so I was looking forward to this one. I found both books to be similar in theme and style but different enough to keep me interested. I like her writing and the way she tells the story. The story takes place during WW II but it is about the lives of the women at home. I read it for my Book Club and look forward to our upcoming discussion.

3/5. This book truly is all about sibling love. I felt like it was repetitive in some parts, but it was a loving story.

Read this one for book club. Just didn‘t work for me.

This was a beautiful novel about the strained relationship between two sisters during WWII. Going back & forth between their childhood/adolescent memories to their current time of the 1940‘s. You also see the perspectives of two of their close friends & how their lives brought them to their place in the sisters lives. Parts will break your heart & others will have you smiling with pride. 5 starts for me 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Reading with my reading buddy tonight. What a long, tiring week!

This story alternates between pre-war Brooklyn and Springfield, MA at an armory during the war. Sisters Ruth and Millie have had a difficult relationship with each other since adolescence, but the war finds them living together again. Each woman has kept something from the other and they struggle to put the past behind them. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Starting this beauty today while I eat some sushi for lunch. It‘s a perfect Friday treat!

FULL REVIEW: https://bit.ly/2RHZquz

THE WARTIME SISTERS focuses on relationships between the sisters, between a mother and her daughters, between other women, and on how everything affected their daily lives.

THE WARTIME SISTERS held my interest because of the well developed characters.

Ms. Loigma's writing is very detailed and pulls you in with the beautiful way she has the words simply grab you.

Don‘t miss reading it.

This was a beautiful heart-warming story of the relationship between sisters. But it also about the relationship between a mother and her daughters and relationships among women. Each character was very well-developed and relatable. I felt these could be women I know.

I loved the entire story, as it evoked emotions within me. The writing was beautiful and had me totally immersed in the story.

Finally able to sit down for a few...Chloe is helping me read by napping....she is a little rambunctious! Loving this book!

Riveting from the beginning. Sibling rivalry and so much more. Comes out later this month!

FULL REVIEW 1/22/19

THE WARTIME SISTERS focuses on relationships between the sisters, between a mother and her daughters, between other women, and on how everything affected their daily lives.

When a small comment was slyly dropped in one of the chapters about a truth Ruth kept from Millie and then a truth Millie had kept from Ruth, the interest definitely was upped.

THE WARTIME SISTERS is a beautiful, warm, marvelously researched read. 5/5

Happy Mail day two books that we‘re high on my wish list.Happy dance time for me💃🏼📚💕

I checked my email before bed and realized I won a book from Goodreads. 🤗 Considering my day began with a trip to urgent care because when I woke up I couldn‘t hear out of my left ear (raging ear infection and a partially ruptured ear drum -UGH), I‘m glad to end the day on a positive note. ☺️ 🎉
