Letters from My Sister by Valerie Fraser Luesse
This turn of the century romance and family drama was a book that I couldn’t put down.

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn
The Rose Code will teach you about codebreaking in Britain during WWII. This book had a slightly more cerebral feel than Kate Quinn’s other books (The Alice Network, The Huntress); that being said, I tore through this book! I’m definitely glad I read it in print though (I listened to The Alice Network and The Huntress on audio). Kate Quinn… Read more
