pickThis book looks at the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during WWII from the focus of a group of boys/young men who played football in one of the camps. It does a great job of showing the situation Japanese-American citizens were in but the football parts are a bit dull (and I like the game), so I‘m glad there was actually less of that than I was expecting.
pick4⭐️ I really enjoyed the book, but I liked the Violet Jessop storyline more. I also liked how the author incorporated a HEA into the story without it seeming too contrived. #2025 #fiction #historicalfiction #historicalromance
pickPoignant story of Japanese American soldier who fought with honor against Germans in Europe. He succeeded as a soldier despite a lot of prejudice at home. His family was at Topaz camp in Utah.
so-so3✨ After Pearl Harbor, Adam and his family move to California where his mom and him start working. Adam receives a letter from his friend Davi from Hawaii about his family being taken because they were born in Japan. This book highlights Japanese internment camps that Adam visits at one point. It also shows how Adam is growing and becoming the man he needs to during this timeframe. #SeriesLove
My February stats. Proud Shoes was the highest ranked, but the tagged book is so important right now.
pickYou won‘t want to put it down.
We hear the story of Audrey and Kate - 1939 and 2010 as they meet for the first time and learn of each other‘s lives.
Fictionalized story line based on a real person.
A story about loyalty, friendship, and doing what you know is right.
Historical fiction and women‘s fiction fans will adore this book. 5/5

Recently finished: Been on a reading spree these past few weeks; really don‘t know what is in the water, but I‘ve been on a tear since the end of January.
Currently Reading: I can‘t seem to shake the first two books at the moment; think I need to focus on those two until I am finished them; hope to start Homecoming this week
Continuing the countdown of my books, from 1st to 25th, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. Today it‘s my 16th, THE LIGHT IN THE RUINS (2013), a novel that is (I hope) an evocation of WW2 in Tuscany, a love story, and a thriller about a serial killer.
