I read The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe for the Whole Latte Books-Book Club. The topic for the book club in April was Holocaust Remembrance. I love reading books and watching movies about World War II. But this is the first book I have read that was set in a concentration camp. I have mixed feelings about this book. I wanted to love it but I had a hard time … [Read more...] about The Librarian of Auschwitz By Antonio Iturbe

My original thought was 3 since I don’t feel like reading the … [Read more...] about Rosewater by Tade Thompson
The Paperboy by Pete Dexter
Why I Picked The Paperboy to Read My mom gave me The Paperboy by Pete Dexter. I think she bought it before the movie came out and read it on one of her trips to visit me. She likes to leave books for me to read. I picked this book to take to Thailand because it is small and light enough to fit in my carry on. I also wouldn’t have been too upset if I had to leave it … [Read more...] about The Paperboy by Pete Dexter
