Wow! I have been really negligent about posting my reading lists. The holidays kept me busy.
However, I have all sorts of books to recommend,
I finally got my hands on Anthony Doerr's All the Light we Cannot See which is a fabulous read. If you liked The Monuments Men or The Book Thief, you can add this one to your list. If you did not read either of those selections, add this one to your list. It is a touching story of a father's love for his blind daughter. He creates a model of their town so that she can navigate her way safely. He also harbors a secret which could prove deadly to both father and daughter. Across Europe in Germany, a young boy who is a prodigy in math and electronics listens to a faraway radio broadcast from France. The boy, unfortunately, get swept up in the Nazi war machine. Doer brings these two characters together in a heart-wrenching climax.
Give yourself some time to read this book. There is a great deal of science in the story, algebra, electronics, marine biology and engineering.
