Good reviews, but we all know how that turns out sometimes. thx
I don't -- on principle -- read WWII/Holocaust stories. So, when I looked up We Were the Lucky Ones, I'm not sure why I didn't immediately move on to another webpage. But I didn't. It looks fascinating (although incredibly sad for me) and I downloaded it. I'm not sure when I'll read it, but I certainly will. Thank you for mentioning it; otherwise it would have never been on my radar.

Surely understand why the subject can be daunting. I almost passed up "The Lilac Girls", glad I didn't; but I am usually not drawn to it. Maybe it was the title as well as the cover art that portrayed a good ending on 'Lucky Ones'.
I've always liked Lisa See, but she has had some flops in the past. Hope this new one is a smooth read.
Reading the Sharon Kay Penman's historical mysteries w/Justin de Quincy as spy for Elenor of Aquitaine during the reign of Richard Lionheart when John was involved w Phillip of France against his brother
If you like the Plantagenant era these are books worth reading
And on Open Library too
Thanks for reminding me. I'd like to read, The Freedom Line: The Brave Men and Women Who Rescued Allied Airmen from the Nazis During World War II by Peter Eisner. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...g_World_War_II

Just now getting to this Pulitzer Prize winner...
That was also very good. I think I enjoyed more because I read it with a group and we discussed the chapters as we read them.
I finally finished A Gentleman in Moscow and rate it as one of the best works of fiction I've read in a long time.
Started The Fireman by Joe Hill last night. It's long, but I think it will go quickly.
