”I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.” – Emma Thompson

I admit, I often think of this quote when I read.  Some weeks I really hope that is not true!  Other weeks, everything I read seems to be deeply personal.  

This month I am hoping that the books I read were NOT the ones I needed most.  Too many dead people and too many investigations are not what I need in my life!  One book was especially poignant in that it focused on someone overcoming a tragedy (accidently killing someone) when they were young, but still it is a hard pass for me!    

I have noticed that there are a lot of books about WWII.  They seem to run the gauntlet between resistance to the Nazis, escaping the Nazis and/or doing your part to help the war effort against the Nazis. Again, something I would like to avoid, a world war.  

The last major category I noticed in fiction is fantasy.  SIGH. I used to read them and loved the idea of living in another world, until it just was overkill one month too many and I haven’t gone back.  

So… it is back to reading the books in my queue.  Looking ahead, there are a bunch of books about Christmas due in September…  SIGH

Elise sent in a book review and an author interview with Marty Wingate (yes, WWII books).
