Mailbox Monday is hosted this month by Life in the Thumb and is where book bloggers gather to share what showed up in their mailboxes this week, whether those mailboxes received email or snail mail.
Snail Mail:
There are few fictional stories that can match the true story of the Mohr family and their long quest for freedom which began in Romania as World War II was getting underway. Their journey from Romania to Weimar Germany would begin a perilous four years in the lives of the parents and their children, especially Melitta. She vanished into a Nazi institution on the day of her birth and would not be seen again by her family for six months. The miraculous circumstances of the reunion with her family would alone make a compelling story. But the dangerous adventures did not end. Their experiences in Weimar, which was also home to the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp, were among the worst that could occur to any family. Later, the family would be confronted with another decision between the time Patton's Third Army liberated Buchenwald and Weimar and before the region would be turned over to the Soviet Union. Their efforts to catch the last train from Weimar to Augsburg, West Germany, are captivating.

OK, I'm impressed by your Amazon freebies! Enjoy your reading (of those and the others as well).
ReplyDeleteYou'll never by out of books, at this rate. But you do read a lot, too! I read 5 books, but that was because there was a read-a-thon I took part in.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Wow, you have a wonderful mailbox this week. You just gotta love those freebie e books!

I grab freebies that look interesting too - I figure if I don't like it, I can just delete it. Enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had much luck with freebies. I'm often disappointed and rarely (just now and then, so I suppose that's something) surprised.
