At the suggestion of a Norwegian friend, I started “Buzz Sting Bite” by Anne Sverdrup Trygeson. Also picked up “Daughter of the Reich” by Louise Fein. Two very different books. Nothing like a little variety to begin the new reading year!
Just finished "Resistance Women" by Jennifer Chiaverini. Excellent and timely.
I’m listening to HEROS by Steven Fry about Greek Hero’s from their past based on stories from pre history.
