Can’t wait for another year of reading. I’m going to finally put a dent in my bookshelf reading list.
2017 Reading Goals: Review
I didn’t count the number of hours I spent reading, but it was a lot. A LOT.
Read the World & WWII Wrap-Up
I visited many countries. I lived thousands of years of history. I walked with peasants and kings, saints and tyrants.
The Battle of Britain | WWII
For a while, during the five months of the Battle of Britain, the United Kingdom held the world together.
The Noel Diary
Love’s not something that should be worked for or earned, but freely given.
Night | WWII
This isn’t Anne Frank’s belief in the goodness of people; it’s the murder of all belief in good.
The Last Battle | WWII
A World War II story where the U.S. Army and German Wehrmacht is interesting, but maybe a little over-dramatized.
Everyone Brave Is Forgiven | WWII
Many books have this thin patina of unreality. This book doesn’t have that. There’s no barrier. It’s you and them, experiencing it all together.
The Last Goodnight | WWII
This was a well-written, well-researched book that was very interesting. I would’ve loved it if I didn’t dislike the heroine so much.
A Hero of France | WWII
This book allows you to read between the lines of history, the stories that were never written down, that were carved on the heart; the only place they were safe.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society | WWII
The combination of both light and dark elements, that effervescent, bubbly warmth mixed with the cold, darkness of war, makes an unforgettable story that ends with hope and love.
Day 25: Let Your Light Shine | Light the World
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
—Matthew 5:16
