"Hi Rosemarie. I've had They Were Counted on my TBR for a couple of years now. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the trilogy so far if you don't mind sharing!
I really like them. I gave the first book 5 stars and the second book 4 stars. I hope you enjoy them.

My mother was from the German speaking part of Transylvania, which is another reason I like these books.

It does. I have also been inspired to visit places that I enjoyed reading about, like Trieste in Italy.

You are amazing! 137 countries, many of them visited a number of times. Congratulations, I’m longing to see where your book travels take you next.
Thank you, Trisha. I started my journey in 2016. If you look at the places I visited most, you will see it is the UK.
