Thanks to Litsy encouragement, I surpassed my goal of reading 12 books. Started the tagged book on Monday ~ the writing is easy to read while the content is heartbreaking. 🩶

Halfwayr through with this one and so far it‘s very intriguing- the eerie wasteland makes me think of Vandermeer‘s Annhilation/ Southern Reach novels which I also enjoyed lots!

It‘s hard to explain my giddy pleasure when I pull a grid together, gather my ratings (back of index cards) and discover the book languishing on my shelf won the grid😀

4*= I liked it, would love to discuss. Solid B
3*=Meh, no need to discuss. Avg C
2*=Nope D

Cilka's Journey | Heather Morris

This book lingered on my shelf following controversy from the first book about who has the right to tell Cilka‘s story. I‘m glad I read it and felt the author well-defended in both preface and afterward her effort to write and her wish to honor the memory of the real life Cilka. But female rape survivors of Nazi war camps were subjected to chargers of sleeping with the enemy an sentenced gulogs in Siberia. That‘s so wrong.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1mo
CoverToCoverGirl It‘s very hard to believe that they were prosecuted! No words.. 1mo
marleed @CoverToCoverGirl every time I get to thinking about WWII HF can‘t teach me anything I haven‘t already read, I stand corrected. I had no idea camp survivors were charged with crimes for the ways in which they survived (as if submitting to multiple rapes to survive is a crime) and sent to prison camps in Siberia for an obscene amount of years. Heartbreaking. 1mo

marleed @TheAromaofBooks one more book (Huck Finn) all I‘ll close out 2024 having read all 24 bookspin and DoubleSpin books. Thank you so much for hosting this challenge. It truly inspires me to shop my own shelves for previously published books at least a couple times a month. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks That is really fantastic progress!!! It sounds like the categories vs. specific books has really worked for you this year!! 1mo
CoverToCoverGirl Agreed! I stand corrected with you. Imagine being so cruelly punished just for surviving the unimaginable. 😢 1mo
