In a Holidaze

 

Oh my gosh. Great Christmastime read!  Light, funny, romantic!  Would make an amazing movie. It has a bit of a Groundhogs Day theme to it. It is basically about this group of people that get together at a cabin every year for the week of Christmas. The main character is a 26 year old woman who for some reason is basically like trapped in a time loop this year where she does the whole week at the cabin …and then Bam !  All of a sudden wakes back up on the plane heading there again and the date is that in which they first arrive. So she lives this same Christmas cabin vacation week several times over trying to figure out what she is supposed to do or change.  Like I said—great light, fun, holiday read!  Definitely recommend to read this month!  :). Probably a 4ish out of 5 :). Hard to say I guess just because there are not many books in this Christmas themed genre that I’ve read :)

The yellow wife

 This book is a realistic historical fiction based on some true content. Parts of it are very hard to listen to. Highlighted is definitely the ugly part of history.. The yellow wife concept is something I had no idea existed. When I think back to pre-revolutionary war, it’s kind of amazing that this happened.   I’m not sure I totally recommend the book. I definitely had to put it down several times. It did end in a mostly positive way.

Daughter of the Reich

  Highly. Recommend.  Definitely gave me similar vibes to Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.  This story is told, however, from the perspective of the daughter to a top commanding Nazi officer, who also has his hands very deep into the paper/press/media. The official synopsis of the book is as follows (I’m copying and pasting because honestly it gives such a great overview!): She must choose between loyalty to her country or a love that could be her destruction… As the dutiful daughter of a high-ranking Nazi officer, Hetty Heinrich is keen to play her part in the glorious new Thousand Year Reich. But she never imagines that all she believes and knows will come into stark conflict when she encounters Walter, a Jewish friend from the past, who stirs dangerous feelings in her. Confused and conflicted, Hetty doesn’t know whom she can trust and where she can turn to, especially when she discovers that someone has been watching her. Realizing she is taking a huge risk—but unable...

Girl Last Seen

 Mystery/thriller that definitely keeps you guessing !!!  I constantly wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next.  As you could guess by the title it’s about two girls that go missing….13 years apart. The first girl was missing for 3 years but escapes her captor at age 13.  It’s then 10 years later where another 10 year old goes missing.  The first girl becomes obsessed with the case, and the book follows the twists and turns of a missing persons case.   Now….it was definitely good—like I said-/I wanted to constantly keep reading…yet I feel like afterwards I was still left with some questions that weren’t quite answered and nicely wrapped up with a little bow for me 🤣 That annoys me, not gonna lie.  It hey, maybe everything was answered and I was too dense to figure it all out….another very real possibility 🤣. Would still recommend!  3.8 of 5 (due to my unanswered questions)
