Back in April, I told you about my love of historical fiction, what I'd been reading, and what was coming up. I was reading The Memory Box by Kathryn Hughes, which I've since then finished and reviewed. Excellent book!
My to-be-read list looked like this:
The Librarian Spy by Madeline Martin
The Bootlegger's Daughter: A Novel by Nadine Nettmann
The Paris Orphans by Suzanne Kelman
Winds of Change: Desire Minter. by Dionne Haynes
Foxden Acres by Madalyn Morgan
After Dunkirk by Lee Jackson
I've since then read The Librarian Spy by Madeline Martin (another excellent story!) and Winds of Change: Desire Minter by Dionne Haynes, and I'm halfway through with The Bootlegger's Daughter which is a different kind of story than what I was expecting. It's good, but it's not what I usually read. I also read The Titanic Sisters by Patricia Falvey, which is another 5-star story that wasn't on my list. And I've added dozens of other books to my Amazon wishlist!
Reading is a gift you give yourself, and I'm glad I've made time to get back into it every night. There's nothing quite like settling down with a book and being swept away to another time and place!
