pickThis has been on my tbr pile for a while, finally got round to reading it and honestly was so worth it! An incredible true story of one family‘s sheer determination just to stay alive against all odds. Definite pick 💜 #pick #WeWereTheLuckyOnes #read #bookworm #love
I want to read more biographical stories about the Third Reich, the Holocaust and the Second World War. I love the cover with the music 🎼 notes.

pick14 // WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES // “There is nothing worse, not even the daily hell of the ghetto, than for a mother to live with such fear and uncertainty about the fates of her children.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #weweretheluckyones #jessicareads2019
May 8, 1945: V-E Day. Germany surrenders and Allied victory is proclaimed in Europe. “The flags of freedom fly all over Europe!” This is is story of resilience, courage, and love. Mostly about love. #weweretheluckyones #georgiahunter #2019reads @Georgia_Hunter
pickThis was just lovely. Hunter's story of researching her family's experience during WWII was fascinating . . . so I put the book on hold. I'm so glad I did! Hunter alternates the chapters' points of view, telling the stories of her grandfather, his siblings, and her great-grandparents beautifully. She never falls into easy sentimentality, but I was emotionally and intellectually engaged throughout. Just beautiful!
I had a helper yesterday at my Costco signing 💙
