How did that necklace happen to be in a box with other items that came to the second hand shop with the name Levitan Department Store on the outside?

Find out about prisoners that were held in the Levitan Department store during WWII and what the Germans used the store for.

A beautifully illustrated, nostalgic read.

We meet a sweet character that remembers everything wonderful about her grandmother and her grandmother‘s house and who wants the potential buyers to not miss any of the special parts of it.

A very sweet read with whimsical drawings perfect for any age and one that made me tear up a bit.

You may get questions of where Grandmother went.

I hope you have many precious memories of your grandmother.

JANUARY 28

How did Iris get herself into this situation?

No job, no home - she had to move in with Hugh.

What a strange house and family Iris finds at Ravencliff.

Lots of creepy things happening along with odd, mean, violent characters with two storylines going - for readers who like twists and unexpected things.

And…what an ending….a bit bizarre, but all wrapped up. 4/5

TODAY‘S PROMPT: TRICK

HISTORICAL FICTION - IRELAND - BOOK CLUB

Could it be true?  Could Majella have inherited the "crazy" gene from her mother's ancestors?

THE CROOKED BRANCH takes the reader through the potato famine in Ireland to present-day New York.  The book allows you to spend a day with Majella in New York and then back to a day in Ginny's life during the potato famine in Ireland.   

FULL REVIEW:  https://tinyurl.com/5n8ufv2p

1/17

A good psychological thriller.

Was it Rosie‘s imagination or did she think the transplanted heart she received from Daphne Thorne had her falling in love with her husband?

The book gets very tense and good even though it was slow for the first half of the book - stay with it!! P4/5
