pickA sweet war time will they or won't they romance. Told entirely through letters written during World War 1 we have two people who obviously love each other but both are afraid to say it. Through the letters we get a look at the horrors of war, and this book does not shy away from showing us the awfulness. The book runs from 1914 to 1918. After reading this, I realize I am not a big fan of epistolary novels. 3.5 stars

Only a couple of chapters into the tagged but think it is going to be a great read. Got about halfway through Heartbreaks driving today. I enjoy reading a holiday themed book this time of year especially one with a different culture or religion. This one has some heavy themes but author promised an HAE in her forward. I‘m about 25% into The Passenger Seat. I‘ll read a bit more tonight but it‘s feeling like DNF is a possibility.

The tagged book has some beautiful writing but it is full of misery. It has been on my shelf for a few years with my brother insisting it‘s well worth the read and I‘m not sure I agree. He loves a bleak book. A low pick for me. Glad to have had a couple of lighter books to read amongst the heavier topics.
pick5/5⭐️ I am crying at the end, I‘m so happy!!
pickShort but powerful YA read about a young German girl who discovers the noises in the wall aren‘t mice…they‘re people. Forbidden people. Especially since she is in the Jungmädelbund. When the Gestapo come looking, what will she do?
pickI love going back in time to medieval, renaissance and baroque periods. This is a dark book and the way it‘s written conjures all your senses; the smells, sounds and feel of the house on Swan Street. I was confused at times with who was speaking, and this is a slow burn but worth it. Many things were seen as monstrous during that time period and it fascinated the population. Sometimes, it became an obsession. Our character Eliza finds ⬇️
