UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I just finished His Ordinary Life (Hearts of the South, #2) by Linda Winfree and now I'm going to read Faith & Fidelity (Faith, Love, & Devotion, #1) by Tere Michaels which I've heard so much about. The prologue had me in tears, so it promises to be a good story.

Melanie (melaina) | 638 comments Thx for the info Silvana!

Ended up reading This Is All I Ask (De Piaget, #6) by Lynn Kurland last night instead of going to sleep like I planned.. but I finished it before 1am, so that's good:-)

I adored that book!!! Gillian and Christopher were both heartbreaking, but they were so perfect for each other!!! It was my first Lynn Kurland, but not my last! I already went ahead and added all the de Piaget books to my BD basket, along with a couple others:-D Are they all that good?

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Oh, Nicole. In those historical romances, everyone's been in bed with a Devil, a Scoundrel, a Rake, a Rogue, a Libertine and a Pirate. I'd keep reading until you're sure one way or the other who you're in bed with.

KK (kk84) | 317 comments Ok, a strange question, ladies!
How to you date your re-read books here on goodreads - date of the first time you read it or the last time you read it?

For me and having read so many novels set during that time period, I found it to be a bit simplistic and forced...I actually had it figured out exactly what the author was going to do to end the story so it wasn't as an emotional read for me. That said, it is a good introduction to that era and the horrors that occurred so I would recommend it for younger readers.

Thats a very strong reason as per why i tend to be selective on stories set around WWII era. They are just sooo many.. and they can get on the same hangers each time and again. I like to read the ones that make tribute to this poignant period in world history. I always strive to learn something new. thats kinda of my take on it.

Thanks for the brief!
