Early 1943: Magda Ritter's parents send her to relatives in Bavaria, hoping to keep her safe from the Allied bombs strafing Berlin. Young German women are expected to do their duty-working for the Reich or marrying to produce strong, healthy children. ⬇️
February wasn‘t a great month for me, with the ER/hospital stay drama and what-have-you, so I didn‘t get nearly as much read as I‘d have liked to. But “The Taster” and “The Hate U Give” made the month worth it, among other wonderful books. #thetaster #vsalexander #thehateugive #angiethomas #monthlyrecapswithmegs
pickDo not walk to get your hands on a copy of this book. Run. And read it immediately. What an incredible addition to the list of WWII literature. #thetaster #vsalexander
Hoping to finish this by the end of today; as long as we‘re not overrun by people, I definitely should be able to, because once I crack it open, I don‘t want to close it! So, this is how I plan to spend my day at work: a good book and my trusty LaCroix...as usual. #thetaster #vsalexander
This is so beautifully-done so far; I was drawn in from probably the first page, honestly. I‘m hoping the next three hours are perfectly peaceful so that I can just keep reading! #thetaster #vsalexander
I‘m in Children‘s all day today, so I have a stack of books to keep me company! #thetaster #trulydevious #afatalwaltz #vsalexander #maureenjohnson #tashaalexander
This is due in a few days, and there are a bunch of holds waiting, so I can‘t think of a better way to continue spending this dreary, chilly day than with another book in my blanket nest! #thetaster #vsalexander
Today's #womenshistoryreads pick is one I haven't read - but the sad history of the Magdalen Laundries shouldn't be forgotten, and fiction can provide a way in. Any readers want to weigh in on this one? #womenshistory #bookstagram #historicalfiction #histfic #herstory #ireland #magdalengirls #vsalexander
