Sunday Post: Last Minute Details

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Thanks to The Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting Sunday Post.

My departure for a two-month work trip to Germany is coming up fast. Our cleaning and getting rid of a lot of stuff continues! I’m leaving on April 5th. If anyone has any international travel or packing tips, I’m all ears. There is a very cool page on Instagram called “The Folding Hacks,” and I’m scouring that trying to learn how to get more into my suitcase, but neatly. I’ll still be posting from Germany, and I’ll be continuing my volunteer work as Indies Co-Editor and as a reviewer for Historical Novels Review, the magazine of The Historical Novel Society.

I am still behind on Goodreads and blog visiting, but I’m hoping to catch up this coming week.

WHAT ARE YOU READING

(Partial blurb from publisher Atria Books) 1918: As the Great War rages, Jessie Carson takes a leave of absence from the New York Public Library to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Founded by millionaire Anne Morgan, this group of international women help rebuild destroyed French communities just miles from the front. Upon arrival, Jessie strives to establish something that the French have never seen—children’s libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and trains the first French female librarians. Then she disappears.

WHAT HAVE YOU JUST FINISHED

Historical Fiction combining The Blitz in London with a bookish theme. Loved it.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NEXT

A serial arsonist has burned down another house and two children are missing. Detective Jace Franco is on the case.

This is Book Two of the An American in Paris mysteries, in which Julia Child is a supporting character. I absolutely loved Book One.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  6. That is so cool! I didn’t realize you were going to be in Germany for 2 whole months! Tip: Patience! So many things are so different in Europe than they are here in the US. For example (from my trip to France) – you know how we just line up naturally when waiting for a bus, entering somewhere, etc…, in France that was not something that happened – it was every woman for herself. And deodorant in France – nonexistent – of course we went in the summer and had to take public transportation.
