Continuing with Van Gogh‘s sunflowers and this audio book- I am going to NEED a trip to France after this
28 books in June! 🤯 There was a few short books, but I was really trying to catch up on some of my challenges.
My favorite (non-reread) for June was The Nightingale! It was soo good, and the copy I have is gorgeous!
pickQuite possibly the most moving books I‘ve ever read- and I‘ve read quite a few. This is a historical fiction book following two brave sisters during wwii who not only ensured their survival, but the survival of others. To call them brave is an understatement. Read it.
The whole first layer is finished - up to bag #22 - from here on out it‘s details 🎉🎉 I am thoroughly enjoying this history, remembering my essays written on the Black Death in uni, but having completely missed the price the Jewish people paid ( W the AF ) when they were blamed even before the disease arrived in towns 🤬

It followed two sisters and their fight to do the right thing when war caused the horrible events that occurred. While one sister helped soldiers, the other helped her Jewish friends. It provided different perspectives that would have been seen by the women.

Her job is to sort confiscated Jewish goods for resale to Nazi officers.Louise, once a Red Cross volunteer who delivered packages to POWs during WWII,is now a ⬇️
