While the book started slowly, I thought the insights into life at Theresienstadt were well written, and the character studies were very interesting

The Measure by Nikki Erlick has a great premise, but I was not too fond of the execution. The characters are boring, the situations are forced

This was a charming, easy-to-read, lovely story. I read it quickly and enjoyed the story even though I thought most of it was quite predictable

This was a very enjoyable yarn, convincing and lovely. A good story, with a bunch of pop-culture references, just enough tech-talk to make sense

Mayor Speranza has a problem; his village of Prometto, Italy (pop. 212) must come up with 70,000 euros. Otherwise, the water pipes will not be fixed

The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa is a short fable, a feel-good story which was a nice read during this time of year

A fictional book set in Paris, France. The book discusses philosophy, culture, the class system and more – sometimes on account of a strong story.

The book is atmospheric and deals with the harsh punishment society deals to those they deem guilty (without proof) as well as racial elements.
