I gave this book 5 stars before I even finished it. I honestly don’t know how I can possibly write a review that will give it justice, without the review being so long that you might as well just read the book itself. Here is the succinct review I left on Goodreads: “An incredibly richContinue reading “Book Reviews and Reflections: Bonhoeffer”

Book Review and Reflections: The Last Hours in Paris
I have a confession: I have a very, very hard time reading a lot of the World War II fiction out there.

When it comesContinue reading “Book Review and Reflections: The Last Hours in Paris”

Book Reviews and Reflections: The Outlaws
Ernst von Salomon’s book The Outlaws sat on my TBR for almost two years. It caught my attention as I was still contemplating what to do after I published my debut novel, Sani: The German Medic, and whether or not I was even going to continue writing. I thought it would be great for myContinue reading “Book Reviews and Reflections: The Outlaws”
