Book Review…Our Daughters' Last Hope by Elaine Stock Amsterdam, the Netherlands 1940 When Herta and Julia's husbands go missing, one accused falsely of crimes and the other to fight on behalf of the Nazis, Herta, despite the heartache, takes charge and places her daughters into hiding believing they'll keep safe. Meanwhile, Julia, as the only parent home, chooses to redefine family. These unexpected developments bring Herta and Julia together... until their true identities surface and they're thrown into dangerous consequences that could harm not only them but their daughters. This is the second book in the Resilient Women of WWII and while it can be read as a standalone the first book is about Herta and her family so I do recommend reading it first. Despite it being about a dark time in history it was a good read. The characters are wonderful. They are raw and real. You can actually feel their feelings and it adds to the experience. The pace isn't fast or slow, it just flows well with the story. It's a great read that is about love, family, surviving and more! Thank you Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours and Elaine Stock for sharing this book with me! #OurDaughtersLastHope #ElaineStock #read #booktour #bookreview #bookstagram #reader #bookish #wwiibook #ResilientWomenofWWII #hfvbt #historicalfictionbook #bookstagrammer #bookrec #igbooks #igreads #bookishpost #books https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-9t0urqQu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: Is there a particular type of book that always gets you in the feels? It's WWII books for me. They're guaranteed to have me sobbing at one point or another. As a side note, I'm not sure if I've ever read a WWI book? They're always WWII. //CHALLENGES// #LMSDecember2020 - Enchanting reads //HASHTAG// #thebookthief #markuszusak #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures #bookstagrammer #booksta #aussiebookstagrammers #aussieauthor #standalone #historicalfiction #wwiibooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CIiLoC-Amaf/?igshid=8t4yhfw9m2q6

Apologies for the boring photo, my creativity has been a little nonexistent lately… This was a fantastic book though! Heart wrenching, poignant, and well written. Every character, even the ones only present for one page, had such depth and felt so real. I loved that this took place after WWII as it seems many novels about the war only take place during. In fact there were multiple points brought up that aren’t often discussed, and I really appreciated that. Would highly recommend. And yes, I cried. — ⭐️ 5/5 Stars — #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookreview #historicalfiction #yabooks #wwiibooks #theywentleft #monicahesse https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdVUyTgUoK/?igshid=yy3k1i4l8li

Book Review…The Last Checkmate by Gabriella Saab Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of her, he has every intention of killing her. Maria vows to avenge the murder of her family, and orchestrate Fritzsch’s downfall. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch and her past one last time. The Last Checkmate is a beautifully written story with an inspiring main character and filled with courage and hope. There were some parts that were hard to read but I don't think there will be many people who read this book and not be filled with admiration for Maria! She is a strong and beautiful character to follow! I liked how the author weaved chess throughout the book. It was a unique twist! The story I'd fast paced and came together nicely. The writing is wonderful! As a reader you feel like you are there with Maria and can hear her thoughts loud and clear! If you're looking for an emotional read with some wonderful characters you'll enjoy this one! #TheLastCheckmate #GabriellaSaab #booksta #bookreview #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #historicalfiction #wwiibook #bookishpost #read #bookrecommendation #williammorrowbooks #readreadread #booksbooksbooks #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg9d4LPNp4d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two parallel stories about public war life and private demons. A Swiss filmmaker is contracted to make a Nazi propaganda film for the Japanese, which is all I was to divulge. The style is dreamlike, illustrating fates we not only already know befall the Axis powers but also the very personal tragedies of the individuals. Charlie Chaplin makes an appearance! #igreads #instareads #bookreview #thedeadnovel #christiankracht #wwiibooks https://www.instagram.com/p/ByC2aRMJMyC2--lonUT16Lx7uF4szR-faZOSXA0/?igshid=1q0sllxddwspx

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr A must read. It is the story of the Author Judith Kerr as her family escapes from the start of Hitler's regime and shows a pretty different perspective for world war two. I was pretty surprised because it was told from the perspective of a child and for her how she just thinks this is an adventure. Of course as the reader you know a lot more happening. But it so eye opening to see how she lived from country to country for reason she didn't understand. It is a trilogy so I recommend you read all three. I will post the the other 2 reviews at a later date.  #whenhitlerstolepinkrabbit #JudithKerr #bookstagram #BookReview #bookrecommendation #WWIIBook

#thebookishreview. . I just finished reading this excellent piece work, WWII fiction done right. . Wolf by Wolf tells a story of a young girl shipped to a labor camp with her mother at the age of six during the war and from there the suffering, pain, determination and full-on-set vengent begins. . I really loved the theoretical world Ryan created in case the Nazis would've won the war. It's a terrible theory tbh. I also loved our main character so much; Yael, she's steel strong, vicious with many broken pieces inside. Our side characters are just as amazing but what I loved is what the five wolves stand for, the flashbacks and the stories... heartbreaking. . I can't wait to read the second book, I want to see more characters development, more action and most definitely more politics. . Rating: 4/5 stars. #Review __ #Wolfbywolf #ryangraudin #bookreview #wwiibooks #historicalfiction

*Book Review...... Have you read any of Natasha Lester's books? Thank you The Book Club Cookbook for sharing another great read with me! The Riviera House by Natasha Lester! One house…. Two women…… One from the past fighting for the future… The other from the present wants to find the past… This was a beautiful story about loss, love, betrayal, bravery, and hope! Once again, I am amazed at Natasha Lester’s writing. Have you ever read a book where you felt like you could actually taste, smell, and feel everything the characters are experiencing? That is how well this book is written! There are two timelines in this book. Which I know from personal experience can become frustrating, but this book moves seamlessly between the two! This is my 3rd book by Natasha Lester and just like with her other books, you can feel the dedication, time, love, and research she has put into her books! That alone can make a book come alive! Happy reading everyone! #giveawaywinner #natashalesterbooks #therivierahouse #historicalfictionbook #hacettebooks #thebookclubcookbook #wwiibook #bookreview #foreverpublishing #bookrecommendation #greatread #bookstagram #booklover #book #bookstagrammer #read #mustread https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_a9XHLyrw/?utm_medium=tumblr
