What I’ve Read – June 2017

Jul 1, 2017 | What I've Read

Not much reading happened this month. I finished View from a Barred Window by Katherina Faras. This is a fascinating story, and one that more people should read.

The next book on my list is The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman. The back of the book said that it read like a novel, but it didn’t. In spite of that, it was still a fascinating story, full of facts that I didn’t know about World War 2 in Poland. I am looking forward to seeing the movie now.

I did go book shopping… bad idea as my TBR is continuing to increase instead of decrease!

My son is also back in hospital. At least no one can say that life is boring!
