I haven’t really heard anything about this book yet but I really want to read it. I love anything historical and this one sounds unlike any that I have read. I can’t wait until March to read it.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I also can’t wait for this book to come out!
Had not heard of this book, but it sounds interesting. Adding it to my list.
This sounds really interesting. I like how it’s based on the author’s family… that makes me want to read it. 🙂
