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 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!
