Started a book that many like. Supposed to be a good series.
so-soA very slow 150 page start. I almost DNFed but I didn't feel like choosing another book to start 😂 Once it really got into the meat of the story it was actually interesting.
30/80

I thought this was really clever. Cover was gorgeous. Had a lot of tidbits of life at that time. Meditation on "surviving" the Titanic is very interesting to me considering all the stories of "I could have been there" on 9/11

I just posted my review of the tagged book and it‘s definitely my favorite of this week and of the month so far too. Heartbreaking 💔
pickWow this was a very touching book about the boys (so young) who went to war in 1914. Those stories about the trenches always are so devastating. 60,000 men dying in the Somme offensive… in just one day. This book covers it all - and the lovestory between two elite boarding school boys, so English. A great read.
pickThis graphic nonfiction about a man I never knew before reading this was terrific. Eugene Bullard was the first African-American combat pilot, and this is his story.
The artwork is gorgeous, and the story is informative and heartfelt.
Highly recommend, even if graphic novels aren't your usual read.

pickI love when I learn something new from a book, and I almost always do with historical fiction. In this novel, I learned of the important role that the Chinese played in France during WW1. The story gave a good perspective from both the Chinese and the French side. I did the audio version, and found the narrators very good. I read this book as part of the Goodreads 52 Week Challenge.
