“No man is above fate and the natural turn of events, no matter how much they try to manipulate things no one can control.”
I‘ve been reminded about the devastating effects of book banning during this read.

“Whatever was restricted from her, she wanted it as a means of protest.”
A little too chilly to sit outside but still…I‘m reading.

Waiting for a friend at BIGGBY ~ so glad I brought my book.

Approachable and absorbing social and cultural history. I pulled this off the shelf while reading The Postcard and it turned out to be a great companion read. I went with a combination of audio (good narration) and print (black and white photos throughout).

tpixie Thanks! #europiacollective The Postcard was a moving read! 2w

“Good books were like amazing sunsets or awe inspiring landscapes, better enjoyed with someone else. There was no greater experience in the world than sharing the love of a book, discussing its finer points and reliving the story all over again.”

One mysterious book, 2 sisters, 3 women, and a timeline of 8 years. The Library of Congress sends librarian Emmy Clarke overseas to Germany to help retrieve and catalog a vast collection of literature plundered by the nazis. Emmy becomes intrigued when she finds a book with personal messages inside and his compelled to return it to the rightful owner. What follows is a gripping story of resistance, betrayal, survival, and love.

This book was so powerful and so full of information. This #nonfiction read I think will be my favorite for the month. Such a stressful part of WWII #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

We see first hand the tragedy that war brings with the telling of Noemie‘s story. But we also got to see the heroines that this time-frame created. You never quite know what you are capable of until you are faced with impossible odds. I enjoyed the way that the story was laid out and the hope and resilience that it shared.

I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
