All the things I learned about the holocaust I read about in books.<br /><br />How good is Barefoot in Fire? I might ask my sister to get me a copy. I've read Maria Henson's Comfort Women, and wish I had a copy (I read it from the university library).clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-53680444787731286542009-11-03T08:56:22.195+08:002009-11-03T08:56:22.195+08:00You had a fantastic month in October!

We read some of the same books--the ones that you came by and commented on (Shadow of the Wind and Boy in the Striped Pajamas). <br /><br />The Atomic Aftermath book sounds really interesting and powerful. I joined the Japanese Lit Challenge, too but haven't read anything for it yet! :-/<br /><br />Hope November is just as great for you!!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-5671616851337178932009-11-01T16:40:14.134+08:002009-11-01T16:40:14.134+08:00Diane -thanks

The book should also predate 1600, be between 70 to 120 pages long and center on food!Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-36874741699033500252009-11-01T12:31:24.467+08:002009-11-01T12:31:24.467+08:00October was a great reading month for you.
My you...October was a great reading month for you.<br /><br />My youngest daughter read <i>The Boy in the Striped Pajamas</i>, and we watched the movie together. I found it very touching.<br /><br />I will most likely join the <i>Women Unbound Reading Challenge</i> as well.Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-192859381991404202009-11-01T11:29:01.259+08:002009-11-01T11:29:01.259+08:00You read some great books in October!You read some great books in October!(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.com
