I love to read and here you will find book reviews of what is on my bookshelf.

Paris Architect — Books set during World War II tend to stick with me and this one will. Paris was a city under German control, but Parisians had certain freedoms as long as they didn’t sympathize with the Resistance or hide Jews. Lucien was more than happy to follow these rules until he got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Woman Who Smashed Codes — History lovers will really enjoy reading The Woman Who Smashed Codes. While the FBI and CIA often took credit for what the Friedmans accomplished for the U.S., this book tells the true story. And, it’s fascinating.

The Switch — The Switch is a perfect summer read and was a fun book to escape into when I read at night. It’s all about family, friends, love and making sure you don’t overlook the people right around you. If you’re looking for something fun and light, you’d enjoy The Switch.

The Wright Sister — The Wright Sister picks up when Katharine marries at 52 to a widowed family friend and Orville no longer speaks with her. The book is fiction other than that, but I feel like I got a glimpse into Katharine’s personality.

Hollows — The Kinship Series by Jess Montgomery has three books. I read the first book, The Widows, in 2019. Montgomery is an Ohio author and the books are set in Ohio. I live in Ohio, too, so the series appealed to me.
