pick@Reecaspieces I finished this amazing book.
'The Enemy Beside Me' is a wonderful written Historical Fiction, but a hard read. Naomi Ragen is a descendant of Lithuanian Jews, and the daughter-in-law of two Holocaust survivors. She is an amazing author. In 'The Enemy Beside Me', she gives us a glance into what happened to the Lithuanian Jews during WWII.
Milia Gottstein-Lasker, director of the Survivors' Campaign, to be the key note speaker ⬇️
pickA curse, a family feud, and a whole lot of magic. Read my review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-orphan-witch

pickI do recommend the novel. I especially loved traveling across the country with Amy from Oklahoma City to the Pacific NW, sharing with her the novelty and beauty of each of the National Parks along the way (I have some new places on my bucket list!).
Thank you to Kaya McLaren, St. Martin‘s Griffin, and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy in exchange for this honest review.

pickA warm, sentimental holiday story with strong allusions to the movie “You‘ve Got Mail” (which happens to be one of my favorites). Rather than dueling bookstores, these are Christmas-themed stores, and more to the point, it‘s nostalgic/handmade/family-generational versus cheaper/mass-produced/chain store. I enjoyed it for its feisty heroine and her commitment to her family legacy. Nothing new here but a fun read. 4/5⭐️

Out 10/16

I gave this a 4 star instead of 5 because Milia got on my nerves. Yes, there were reasons to be angry about somethings, but Ragen took it too far at times. It just didn't make sense to me for her to be so angry about some trivial stuff.
If you enjoy Historical Fiction, WWII, or even family drama ( because that's in here, too), I think you would enjoy ready 'The Enemy Beside Me'. I actually think everyone needs to read it, because even though the Holocaust is in the past, if we don't educate ourselves, it or something worse could happen again.
