    Trip to Paris

    Despite my love for planners and stationery, I failed to plan for this week’s blog that I wanted to dedicate to Remembrance (Sun)day. Well, I did watch “In Vlaamse Velden” on Netflix. It is a series from a couple of years ago that I hadn’t seen when it aired on TV and that follows the lives of a doctor’s family during World War I. So if this blog isn’t about Remembrance day, let me tell you about my trip to Paris from a little over a month ago.

    Book recommendations: WWII reads part 3

    Unfortunately, my posting schedule has been bungled up again. So thank you for sticking with me until I finally will figure this blog writing out. I probably should write more drafts and then clean them up when I need and want to publish them, instead of keeping these ideas in my head. A while ago I read both: The girl from Venice by Siobhan Daiko: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Venice-Girls-Italian-Resistance-ebook/dp/B093SRRM5D/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Z05AIS8JY9H1&keywords=the+girl+from+venice+siobhan&qid=1636135553&sprefix=the+girl+from+veni%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-1 The things we leave unfinished by Rebecca Yarros: https://www.amazon.com/Things-We-Leave-Unfinished-ebook/dp/B087VXZYMM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TCU0LXYKV1ML&keywords=the+things+we+leave+unfinished+by+rebecca+yarros&qid=1636135689&sprefix=the+things+we+le%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1 Both are about a (great)granddaughter who learns more about what their (great)grandmother did or experienced during WWII. I don’t want to give away too much of the story, but you can find more on Goodreads or Amazon…
