I love historical fiction because it tells a story surrounding real events that I might not have known about before. Often used is a dual timeline, using a modern-day setting as well as one in the past, but #TheWarLibrarian by #AddisonArmstrong is different: it has dual timelines, but both are historical in contest. One is the frontlines of battle during #WorldWarI #TheGreatWar in France, following a young woman who is assigned as a librarian for the soldiers that have been hospitalized. Another timeline is 1976, the first year women were allowed to enter the #USNavalAcademy. Both timelines have a strong feminist element, but it's not out-of-place the way some stories often feel when interjecting 21st century thinking into a 20th century world. This was a very satisfying read. I can't wait to read more from this young author. #newbooks #august2022newbooks #bookreview #netgalley #arcreview #bookstagram #booksta #instabooks📚 https://bargain-sleuth.com/2022/08/13/the-war-librarian-by-addison-armstrong-netgalley-arcreview-bookreview-newbookrelease-august2022release/
He was called the greatest athlete that ever lived. Now #NativeAmerican #Olympian #JimThorpe is getting a fresh look, from 21st century perspective, by #PulitzerPrize-winning author #DavidMaraniss. In case you don't recognize the name, Maraniss was responsible for When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of #VinceLombardi. The author takes a deep look at Thorpe, the racist world he lived in, and how he was portrayed in the media. I find it fitting that this book is coming out on the heels of the #Olympic officials deciding to add Thorpe's records to the official record books again, more than a century after they stripped him of his medals in the pentathlon and decathlon because he'd played minor league baseball for money.

A happy 18th birthday to our boy, now a man @nintendocuber! So proud of the young man he has become.
The World War II trope is still strong in publishing, and the stories woven never cease to amaze me. Just read a wonderful story that brings the war effort in the English countryside to life. I'll definitely be picking up the other volumes in the seriers and hope for more. #DutyCallsatGoodwillHouse #GoodwillHouse #3 #FenellaJMiller #NetGalley #ARCReview #July2022Release #NewBooks #BookReview #WorldWarIIFiction #HistoricalFiction #bookstagram #booksta #instabooks
Nancy's taking flying lessons and stumbles upon a couple of mysteries at the same time. This book was just weird, and weak in the mystery department.

He wrote the soundtrack to some of the biggest songs of the 1970's & 1980's, and now he's written a book about his life. I really enjoyed this dip into the makings of some of my favorite music, all while getting to know Loggins a little better. #StillAlright by #KennyLoggins #June2022Release #AudiobookReview #Caddyshack #TopGun #Footloose #bookreview #Bookstagram #Newrelease #ImAlright #ConvictionoftheHeart #logginsandmessina #DangerZone #HouseatPoohCorner #returntopoohscorner #Booksta #instabooks📚
