The topic of this book is so serious and sad but sometimes it‘s just so darned funny! Case in point…

I'm behind on posting. Finished this for #AuthorAMonth over a week ago. It was quite good. The author pulls together a broad mix of themes centered around DC in the 1950s.

I‘m still reading The Trees (so good) by this author but getting close to the end so I‘ve checked out two more of his books from Libby. I may like Trees better than James, which I read last year. What an author!! #authoramonth @Soubhiville

TheKidUpstairs Trees is my favourite of his (of the ones I've read). 2d
perfectsinner I just grabbed James from my library 😀 and idk what Trees is about, but I love them! So the title caught my eye. Hopefully i like James as much as others seem to and maybe I'll check out his other stuff, too. Happy reading 🤓 2d
AmyG I really enjoyed Erasure. 2d

Wartime spies were not always men. Women spies, while being highly effective during WWI, faced unique dangers. This dual timeline book tells English spy Eve‘s story from the Great War and American Charlie‘s story looking for her French cousin Rose who went missing during WWII. Scottish Finn, ex-soldier with his own grim past, is their driver through the French countryside piecing together the horrors Eve and Rose faced. The other female spies ⬇️

Texreader from the Alice Network are key to Eve‘s story. This is a tragic book with a sweet love story intertwined. Recommended but with a number of trigger warnings: rape, torture, suicide, execution, and murder (and maybe a few more). #authoramonth 2d

Excellent. Some parts I was not sure about….but I loved the part about his family and himself.

Sparklemn That‘s exactly how I felt. The story he wrote in the book didn‘t hold my interest. 2d
Yenya1954 Exactly how I felt, also. 12h

May 2025 #AuthorAMonth #Read2025 For the first few minutes I wasn‘t sure if I liked this book, but I quickly turned around into loving it. It is the story of a young man‘s life and how as a middle aged man he comes to understand why he became the person his and finally comes to peace with his past and himself. It also is a story of love, family, friendship, and art. There is a subtle allusion to his race while he was in graduate school (cont)⬇️

CatLass007 while sharing a house with his white best friend in a Black neighborhood in Philadelphia. On a return flight from El Salvador 1979 he is profiled by Customs, a nerve-wracking experience for him and for me as a reader. As a white woman I have never been a victim of racial discrimination but the book is enlightening in that respect. Recommended! 5d
