𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐜𝐡 by 𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 is a fascinating, horrifying tale informed by extensive research & featuring actual historical figures/settings depicting the Nazi Lebensborn breeding program. It's another gripping depiction of World War II-era terror, & the bravery & heroism exhibited by women. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickWow. Painful, real, an actual true account of what happens to women after war. Couldn‘t put it down but happy to finish.

A collection of short stories by a 19th Century German author. The title story is sort of a ghost story, with much digression into the backstory. It was interesting to see the framing techniques used so that the author could present the end of the tale before proceeding to have a character relate a linear narrative.

Here‘s my points for the #wintergames. I read a lot of dark books. I either read books set during Winter or books with dark themes. I really liked that because I wasn‘t in the mood for overly Christmassy books since my dog passed away on 10/25/24.

pick(2021) Retired chancellor Angela Merkel moves to to a small village in eastern Germany with her soft-spoken husband, her soft-hearted bodyguard and her newly-adopted dog (christened "Putin"). A cozy murder mystery ensues, and while the mystery is pretty standard, the Merkel Scooby-gang is endearing. I'd read another.
pickThis was a very interesting story of a Jewish passport forger in Nazi Berlin. It is well written, so well that sometimes the funny and eventful story covered the terror of being captured. I‘m torn between this is a good thing and the necessary seriousness is missing.
