Carved in Stone by Elizabeth Camden My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved Elizabeth Camden’s early novels, but then I read a few that didn’t interest me much. This book was a choice I picked from a reading challenge on Goodreads. I’m so glad I did! It’s a well-written story about a woman fromContinue reading “Carved in Stone”

Season of My Enemy
Season of My Enemy by Naomi Dawn Musch My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book! It’s a beautiful picture of the world of WWII seen from the American home front.

The Librarian’s Journey
The Librarian’s Journey: 4 Historical Romances by Patty Smith Hall My rating: 4 of 5 stars A historical romance collection themed around the packhorse librarians of the Great Depression.

Chasing Shadows
Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin My rating: 5 of 5 stars With everything going on in Ukraine, reading this account set during WWII in the Netherlands was just eerily similar to what we’re watching on the nightly news.

Angelina’s Resolve
Angelina’s Resolve by Cindy Ervin Huff My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this “what if” story. Author Huff explains that the idea came about from “what if” Horace Greeley’s “Go west, young man!” had been answered by a group of women. And while it could have been a typical “I’m as good asContinue reading “Angelina’s Resolve”
