And towards the end of 2020, I picked up two wildly different circus-themed books that I could not put down. The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten and Water For Elephants by Sarah Gruen. Both transfixed beautifully; The Night Circus read like Lewis Carroll's casual everyday description of magic (also narrated by the ever magical Jim Dale) all while Water For Elephants was heart-wrenchingly good touching the soul in a way I haven't felt from a book in so long.

I grew up with Tom Hanks being the voice of my childhood and I was so excited to listen to a book read by him. And frick, am I glad that I did. This book is every bit relatable as it is comforting and it was the perfect first book to listen to going into the New Year.2021-01-2617 min

I could have browsed for hours, reading each and every little review on each of the books, but as I was only allowed a 30-minute slot to meander around the book store (gee, thanks COVID!) I browsed as quickly as I could and still came away with some amazing finds (including one not book but must bookish have!)

2020-10-2220 minCoffee with HeatherBook Review: Summer of '69 by Elin HilderbrandWe're diving in today into one of the first books I read this summer; Elin Hilderbrand's Summer of '69 published by Little Brown. This book was such a good book to kick off the summer; with a hint of historical fiction as the book is based during the Vietnam War, and a whole lot of realness and humanness in each of the characters. It was a light and easy read with enough plot twists to keep you wanting more all while each characters struggles and hurdles made them oh so relatable.

Up until the summer of 2019, I refused to listen to audiobooks or download any sort of digital copy of books because I believed that the only way to enjoy a book was when you had a hard copy in your hands with the smell of paper and margins to write in.

Growing up in the home of a parent who immigrated here to the US from Germany, with grandparents who grew up during WW2 in Germany, I've always been drawn to stories about this time in history. And, with everything going on in the world, maybe one of the best things we can do is to look back and learn from history instead of removing and trying to forget (or worse deny) that it ever happened.
