An unrelated topic. I am reading this book that I can't stop reading but is difficult to read at the same time. For some reason I like to read books related to WWII every now and then because that whole situation is just unfathomable. So I am reading the book--We were the lucky ones, by Georgia Hunter, and oh my--I just keep needing to know what happens to everyone but at the same time get so sad about it all. This was her actual family--she learned as a teenager that her family went through all of this, did a ton of research and wrote a fiction (but based on their real events) book. It is just very riveting. On a lighter note, I recently read Elinor Oliphant is completely fine. I really enjoyed the transformation of the character, and so much about that book.

I wish I had more time to read good fiction. Good recommendations and thanks!

This sounds like a great book. Historical fiction is my favorite genre. I will put it in my list to check out at the library.

If you like this genre, I think you will really love this book. I can't quite get enough, and they skip around between characters which makes it even more compelling. (can be difficult to wait and see what happens, but at the same time makes you really want to keep reading). I think knowing it is the author's family makes it even more interesting.

Yes! One is enough for me. [emoji28] I don't know how you ladies with 2 or more manage! Hats of to you!

Yes, definitely hats off to those ladies with more than one, I don’t know how in the old days, women used to have so many (my grandmother had seven!!). I thought about a second one only so my DD can have a sibling and learn to share, etc, But DH said that wasn’t reason enough. Oh well, too late, that ship has sailed for me,

LOL. Does one and done club count if you had twins and decided that was enough? :biggrin:

I would say Yes. it can also be called “One time and done” club. Lol. That would seem like an ideal scenerio — getting two kids but only have to be pregnant for 9 months and go through delivery one time.

I would say you are in a special category. Double the love and insanity all at once. Hats of you you as well!

LOL. Yes! I was the one who would never babysit other people's kids and thought my 5 year younger sister was the largest PITA on the planet. Everyone said no one deserved twins more than me.

Me too! DH didn't want another one, so one it is.
