Cuilin's blurb on World War Two

World War Two: A Short History | Norman Stone

Whenever I tell someone historical fiction is my favorite genre they automatically think I mean World War II. I get an abundance of gift books on this era I could do a whole year long read from my own TBR pile. This is another broad prompt, choose your own location and interest area for WW2, 1939-1945 (Prompts will narrow as we move through the #bookedInTime reading challenge)

All are welcome

dabbe I bet there are more historical fiction books about WWII than any other time period. 9mo

Cuilin @dabbe agreed, not sure if it makes it easier or harder to choose 🤷‍♀️ 9mo

Bookwormjillk I‘ve read a lot of these too, but I‘ve been in a mood to read another since I visited a WWII museum last month. Thanks! 9mo

Deblovestoread I've read many, many books about WWII but know there are plenty more to choose from. 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Where was the museum? Someone today said there‘s one in New Orléans. I‘d love to go. 9mo

AnnR @Cuilin Thank you for posting this early. This will be an easy one for me, as I have a variety of WWII ebooks just sitting on my Kindle. I took a long break from reading HF books set during the 1940s.
@Dabbe It sure seems like it. There definitely aren't as many HF books dedicated to WWI, in comparison. 9mo

Cuilin @Deblovestoread Same, I have a pile but will still probably stack others. 🤦‍♀️ 9mo

Cuilin @Ann_Reads You‘re welcome, I took a break too but received like 5/6 for my birthday. 9mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin more in your neck of the woods- Wolfeboro, NH. It was well done if you‘re ever in that area. 9mo

dabbe @Cuilin That's the fun of research! 🤩🤩🤩 9mo

DebinHawaii Awesome. I have a plethora of WWII books in my #TBR so a great excuse to get one out of there & read! 🤗 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk you‘re kidding, I can get there in under 2 hours. Fabulous. Road Trip!! 9mo

Cuilin @DebinHawaii my plan also. I figured others may too. 9mo

rwmg I've only got one book which will fit this so it's an easy choice, especially as it's been sitting on my TBR shelf for a long time

The Book Thief

9mo

TheBookgeekFrau Oh good a reason to grab something off my TBR shelf!! 9mo

Cuilin @rwmg Fabulous choice. Beautiful book. 9mo

Cuilin @TheBookgeekFrau seems to be for most. Yay! 9mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin thanks for posting early. There's so much choice on my tbr too 🤔📚🤓📚 9mo

AllDebooks It's going to be The English Patient or

The Nine: The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of Nazi Germany

9mo

SassyBookworm Ohhh can I join?! Idk what to do exactly but I am a HUGE WWII (& WWI) historical fiction fan!! Those are my main genres to read! 🤓 9mo

Cuilin @SassyBookworm absolutely, and welcome. Choose any book set during WWII, post, tag me and use #BookedInTime. I‘ll post questions at the end of September. Enjoy. 9mo

Mollyanna Like many others I have a bunch on my TBR, now to figure out which one. Might be

The Librarian Spy: A Novel of World War II

9mo

Cuilin @Mollyanna looks good 😊 9mo

julieclair Historical fiction is my favorite genre, too. But for this one, I may read non-fiction. Thinking about

When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II

9mo

julieclair Or maybe

Escape from Paris: A True Story of Love and Resistance in Wartime France

9mo

Cuilin @julieclair both sound really good. Maybe there‘s time for two 😬 9mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks many of us are struggling with this issue. Both your choices look great. 9mo

Itchyfeetreader I must have something for this sitting in the tbr pile 9mo

Cuilin @Itchyfeetreader likelihood high. 9mo

majkia I'm amazed how few books I have for WWII. Mostly I have WWI. But I do have Above Suspicion by Helen Macinnes. 9mo

Cuilin @majkia sounds good 👍 9mo

Lizpixie I‘d love to be added to the tag list! I‘ve got a few Ancient Rome books & more than a few WWII books for next month! 9mo

Cuilin @Lizpixie wonderful, added and welcome. 9mo
