I almost have most of my books memorized because I do my own editing. I think it is helpful to reread after much time is passed because things I thought were great turned out to have mistakes.
I bet your book has a great storyline. It sounds interesting.
I am writing a novel myself about a young kid and his struggle to get his driver's license and a car. He grew up in a very poor family and moved from a small town to a big city. The family would not teach him and could not afford a car sometimes even groceries. It is Christian Fiction based on actual events of how God helped him get established in life. The names were changed and the family wanted to remain anonymous.
I have only written the first two chapters so we will see how it goes.
Good luck with your book. I will definitely put it on my shelf.

Has to be historical for me, up to and including WW2

Same here. Just read a historical myself - Mist Over Pendle by Robert Neill, published in 1951 with a different take on a historical event than the usual attitude today but enjoyed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5746078552


I've just read The Italian girl by Lucinda Riley. It's a beautiful book, that really takes you to the different places. A compelling read.
I've just started Nice Work (if you can get it) by Celia Imrie. I'm really enjoying this one too. I like stories that take me to different countries and places, so that I can experience and remember all the sights, sounds and aromas.


I just started reading The Measure by Nikki Erlick, published in 2022.



Bloodstained Skies: The Core of Rage

I just read both of these. Both excellent.
