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!
Recent acquisitions:
📖 Call the Nurse: True Stories of a Country Nurse On a Scottish Isle by Mary J. MacLeod
📖 Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness by Edward Abbey (I already had a copy of this nature classic set in my home state but I just had to get this British edition with an introduction by Robert Macfarlane, one of my favourite writers.)

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.
Here‘s how I did on the #awesomeapril readathon:
📚Met my goal of finishing Arrogant Playboy and finished reading the Arrogant trilogy
📚Read 1 book from my #bookspinbingo list from last month when the numbers were drawn
📚Started another book from my #bookspinbingo list. I knew I wasn‘t going to finish it on the last day of the readathon but I‘ve at least started it.
This was my first time participating.
I started this book during my walk at the dog park today. I‘m not invested in the story yet but then again, I only listened to the first 2 chapters. I‘m not sure if I‘m going to like it because some Goodreads reviews have said that it reads like a history textbook, has a lot of battle scenes and it doesn‘t focus on the romance as much but I‘m going to read this and see if I agree with the reviews.
