Reading Now

It has been a full year since I last updated this blog. Our book club has been in full swing since then. I have enjoyed our current pick so much that I was inspired to write here again.

Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum is one of those books that I can't put down. I also don't want it to end. It is set during a period of history (WW2) that fascinates me. And Jenna's writing is very easy to read. Of the two main characters, Trudie (daughter) is more predictable than Anna (mother). Anna is so complex and I find myself questioning her behaviour, and whether I would react/feel/behave the same way. Looking forward to discussing this book at our next meeting.

Jenna has written another book - The Stormchasers. It's now on my "to read" list.
