pickI liked this book. It told a different story about WWII that I didn't know about. The people in this book were great. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
My favourite read in Novembers for #12Booksof2024 was this latest book by Heather Morris.
This tells the story of women taken prisoner by the Japanese in World War II and the horrific time they had in the far East Prison camps. This one has all the feels and think I even prefer it to the her European prison camp books.
Also a notable mention for The Templar Secret by Scott Mariani, the last book in one of my favourite all time series - Ben Hope.
pickI love WW2 books and I‘ve never heard of these women before. It was such a good read. I give it 5/5 stars!

WWI France
Based on true events in the life of Julia Stimson. I enjoyed learning about this pioneering woman in the medical field. It was also interesting reading about the medical practices at the time.
Hopefully I can read in peace & quiet.
I made more progress in this book last night. I‘m not enjoying it that much. It seems to be focusing a lot on the war and I don‘t like that even though I know it‘s set during a war. The man and woman in this story just met on the battlefield. I don‘t see any chemistry between them but that could change. I‘m glad this isn‘t a WWII book though because I get tired of reading those. I want to read about different time periods besides WWII.
