After WWII, Nazi tried to "disappear" into society, but Nazi hunters did not let them escape justice for their war crimes. Jordan suspects this "Austrian" woman, her dad marries, of not being who she claimed to be, especially with a little girl who doesn't seem to love her "mother." Though fiction, the author created a story around several real people in the German regime. This story held my attention, and is one of many written to help us honor the 75th anniversary of World War II.

E book or E-Audio Book only alert! I enjoyed this gripping tale of Jews in fear of Hitler. It combined a mystery of Callie, a book seller's discovery of text written in a book of Bambi, between the text in German, with the story of Max, Luzia and Annika, who wrote the list. Though evil abounded in Germany, God provided people to help the Jews, and 80 years later reunite family that became lost in their attempt to escape the Nazi plans.

This retelling of Goldilocks is fun to read for grown-ups and kids alike. The story stays close to the original with some clever added asides for the grown-up reader. I love the illustrations in this book, which are all photographs of dolls. They are a little creepy and a lot fabulous!

It's a bit scary in that the managers keep disappearing minus one shoe.

This book by Evanovich held a couple of good laughs, as I am caught in the moment of Stephanie's quirky adventures.

Major Pettigrew likes life orderly and routine. Circumstances related to his brother dying make it become a tumbled, chaotic spin with his family, and his club when he gets acquainted with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. The story takes a look at how an attraction between a man and a woman not only effects them, but also their families and the community, when prejudice is involved. The dry, straight faced British humor adds to the charm of this story.

A modern twist on the Cinderella story, this book kept me entertained the whole way through! Such a good story! The characters come to life and I felt like I was right there with them!
