A Book About War
I own so many of these, it’s getting a bit ridiculous. Here are some of my favourites!
The one that first got me into reading historical fiction was When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, so of course I have to put that one in here. Guys, it’s SO GOOD. I lost it for a while, but when my friend moved it conveniently turned up again… The second one that I love is Dear Alison, a book of letters from an uncle in the army to his niece. It’s honestly the sweetest thing, and full of cute little pictures!
As per usual, don’t forget to add your link below! I’d love to see what cool stuff you guys are posting

I was a book blogger for a while, and I now blog about every little thing in life I can think of. Bear with me while I try all these new posts out...
I'm a New Zealand teen who gets angry about the world (but not angry enough for tumblr). I like to capture the world through photos and words, and read in all the moments in nz-squadbetween. I have an overwhelming desire to see every corner of the world I possibly can, and hug the people I love in all those corners. I can't do make up to save myself, and you're more likely to find me buying matching stationary than matching clothes.
My nerd hobbies include a new found love of the Avengers, reading YA, watching Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother, and every vlogger I can find, and being the last person on the music bandwagons.
I have big plans for the rest of my life, including university, teaching, travelling, and having an army of puppies. I plan to blog every second of it!

I love historical fiction! I read When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit when I was like 10/11 so probably one of the first histfic books I ever read. I haven’t read Dear Alison yet though but it sounds good! 🙂

Oh, your rainbow shelves are lovely!
Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres because it can both entertain and educate. Reading for pleasure is great, but sometimes you gotta learn a little.

I really want to read more historical fiction, because I love war films especially and haven’t really read that many books, especially recently, about it. I think the last one I read was Anthony Doerr’s “All The Light We Cannot See” which I really enjoyed 🙂 great post!
