Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after ballet. Grand total 🟰 $17. It was another fabulous day at my ballet school‘s Summer Intensive. Pilates to warm up then a repertoire class learning the Aurora wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty followed by a mindfulness session. Then home for a wine and stretch. I‘m pretty sore.
pickThis book the human side of the war and Nazis so brilliantly. Real personal stories that highlight the struggles of the women who were the real victims and hero‘s in the war. Excellent!

Got myself a used kindle!!! Obsessed.
Reading the Nightingale for my bookclub read this month, 45% done. This book is going to shatter me I suspect..... but people seem to really love it!
I predict a 4 star read for me. I'm definitely captivated and wish I could stay up all night and day reading.
pickAmazing writing. Without giving spoilers, the story focuses on two women in France during World War II and their struggle to survive during the German occupation of France. There were times I gasped, cried, was upset because even though this is a historical fiction, this story was inspired by reality.
Definitely recommend reading. I look forward to reading other books by Kristin Hannah.
pickHard but so moving.
One of the tougher WWII historical fictions I've read lately - but I hate when the war is romanticised so no complaints from me on that front. Each sister has such a compelling story that kept me listening.
They couldn‘t touch my heart. They couldn‘t change who I was inside. My body … they broke that in the first days, but not my heart, V. Whatever he did, it was to your body, and your body will heal
