Billypar @Cinfhen Me too! Have you read Book of Night Women yet? I hear good things about that too- thinking of picking it up soon. 5y
Cinfhen No, I really should!! 5y
Billypar @TrishB I loved it- from reading general reactions, it seems like either a 'love it or bail' kind of book. 5y
gradcat Adding it to my stack now...I was so intrigued by the mash-up that I forgot to do that! 5y
OwenBanner The audio book was excellent, though I found myself speaking with a Jamaican accent for about a month afterward. 5y

My ex bought me this book years ago and I remember reading the blurb and not being at all interested. Mia is a teenager in Poland during WWII. She escapes but her family dies in Auschwitz. I remember thing Dear God, not another WWII book. But I read it since he went to the trouble. And it was a five star read. All these years later, and I still remember being completely engrossed. #birdofparadise #winterwonderland

Bklover I‘ve had that “Dear God, not another WWII book” reaction myself. 5y
LauraJ We had to ban WWII books in my book club for a year because we had read so many. 5y
emilyhaldi Lol, eric??? 5y

Cinfhen Hahaha same @Bklover @LauraJ we‘re still on a WWII ban and it‘s been 4 years!!!! Who is that girl on the cover??? It‘s driving me mad. I wanted to say Selma Hayek but that makes no sense... Natalie Portman??? 5y
TrishB There are a lot of WW2 books about! 5y
Bklover Well Google has failed me. I cannot find who the gal on the cover is. I did, however, learn that the book was based on a real person, and that the author founded Kensington books, which publishes romance novels. @Cinfhen 💛💛💛💛 5y
Cinfhen Well thanks for trying @Bklover 😘 5y

Day 7 - #birdofparadise #winterwonderland

The birds-of-paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae. The majority of species are found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of the males of the sexually dimorphic species (the majority), in particular the highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head.

Ruthiella Love ❤️ the pictures! 5y
EadieB @Ruthiella They are beautiful birds! 5y
Cinfhen I thought it was a flower!!!! Those birds are beautiful 💜🧡💛 5y
EadieB @Cinfhen It is a flower too! 5y
TrishB Lovely pic 💕 5y
