December Books

Here are the books I read this month:


This historical fiction takes place in World War II. It’s the story of a Jewish family in Poland that escapes the Germans by living in the sewer, and then people that help them above ground. It had a wonderful twist at the end too. It was incredibly powerful and moving to read this story that represented real life stories. I’d strongly recommend it!

I have only read the book “My Sister’s Keeper” by this author and it was incredibly thought provoking. This one was recommended to me. It takes place sept d a daughter looking for her missing mother, all taking place in and around an elephant sanctuary. There is science mixed with mystery… She wrote from different characters perspectives and developed each so well! It was more of a mystery that unfolded with twists and some supernatural elements and I was completely blind-sided with a surprise ending that I did not see coming. I would recommend it!
This book had been recommended to me. It’s about a fictional character that navigates an up and coming actress in motion pictures from the 1950s to 2000s.  The author develops her character as well as all the other characters that come in
and out of her life. I’m not sure I would recommend it yo everyone. It has steamy scenes that can make people uncomfortable, as the main character climbs the ladder of fame and fortune. It was entertaining and I did enjoy the characters and the time frames and retro references. I did have a hard time putting it down, so maybe you’ll like it too.
