I recently completed "The Cat Who Saved Books" by Sosuke Natsukawa. It was really bizarre! I cannot recommend it.

[Lisa]

I read When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptill Manning. While I didn't love the writing style, I learned a lot I never knew about the important roles books played during/after WWII

[Laurie]

I just finished "The Last Bookshop in London: A Novel of WW II." It gave me several good ideas for the classics category of the challenge.

Almost done with cloud cuckoo land and it’s so unique! Love it!!

For this category, I read Dream Girl by Laura Lippman. This was a really well-done psychological suspense with a surprise bit of horror. Novelist Gerry Andersen begins to get calls from one of his characters. I recommend this book if you enjoy a mind-bending suspense. It has strong flavors of Stephen King's Misery and Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Plot, with a little bit of Rear Window!
