This month was not a very good reading month for me. I currently have two books on the go, Company Town by Madeline Ashby, which I started before Remembrance Day, and Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl, which I chose to read for Remembrance Day this year. I’m really enjoying The Diary of a Young Girl, but I ended up on a bit of a video game kick lately (I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew Valley in French, which has been a lot of fun), and so haven’t finished it yet. The other night when I was thinking about this post, I was a bit worried that I hadn’t read anything this month, but thankfully I actually did finish something before starting Company Town.

Fiction books:
- The Rose Code by Kate Quinn
I absolutely loved The Rose Code by Kate Quinn! I didn’t know a whole lot about the Enigma Machines and Bletchley Park, so I wasn’t sure what I would think when I started. But it was so fascinating! As usual, she also had some fantastic characters whom I was rooting for all through the book. I loved it, and really recommend it!
So what have you read over the last month? I hope you’ve had a better reading month than I have! 🙂
Hopefully I’ll finish both The Diary of a Young Girl and Company Town soon! And once I’m finished with Stardew Valley in French, I’ll have to start reading something in French, too.
An Acquaintance with Letters 
I finished “Zig Zag Girl,” which is from a different series by Elly Griffiths than I usually read. I liked the quirky characters and the setting in Brighton, England, after WWII. I’ve now started “The Upstairs House” by Julia Fine. I’ve seen this described as a ghost story, gothic horror, psychological suspense…you name it. Anyway, the premise is very intriguing, involving the ghost of the well-known children’s author of “Goodnight Moon,” Margaret Wise Brown. I love it already!

The Zig Zag Girl sounds really interesting! So does The Upstairs House – you’ll have to let me know how it is once you’re done! 🙂
