My #bookspin #bookspinbingo #doublespin list for November

10 The Underground Railroad
18 The Boy who followed his Father into Auschwitz

Finished this lovely book on the beach today. It was another great historical fiction read, I really enjoyed reading about Ankes story and her purpose as a midwife. As a nurse myself I was able to put myself in her shoes and emphasize with the main character. A great story of war, sacrifice and love.

picked this up today while grocery shopping, sounds good 📚TBR 📚

Check out this book on Goodreads: The German Midwife http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43011720-the-german-midwife
Very good read! 📚

I'm really interested to know whether Eva Braun really ever had a son or is it just mere fiction?

This book has also been published as A Woman at War, and I think that‘s a better title. The main character is at war in many ways, and seeing her navigate the various levels is interesting. The author also clearly understands her subject and I enjoyed the medical/scientific aspects.

This was good, but not great. The premise was interesting, and the ending suspenseful, but nothing carried this book into spectacular. The past/present chapters were confusing and probably not necessary. The story would have been smoother if told chronologically instead of back and forth. #netgalley ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this and can‘t put it down....has anyone else read this?

Easy read, I really enjoyed it.

I cannot day enough good things! It had it all, history, humanity, birth, love, and it really made you think hard about both sides of the war. It really showed a unique look at Hitler‘s inner circle. I loved this unique story! Also, having attended many births I can attest to the accuracy of the births portrayed in this novel and that many of the struggles she goes through as a midwife are very relatable!
