4. Oh my, I think I can recite the entire script for Hunt for Red October!

Just kidding, but I love, love, love that movie!

Recently I finished All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr & Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. I didn't plan it, but both stories take place during WWII. I think All the Light would have been better if he'd stayed in chronological order. I had to pay close attention to what year each chapter was taking place in. There was also a huge gap of years at the end. The story went from WWII to 1970s. But the main character was a young blind girl, so it was interesting. Her father made her these little wooden puzzles. There were some really nice elements to it. It stressed how important radio was back then - something we take for granted now. Two of the characters in Lilac Girls were real people, which I didn't know until the end of the book. There was more in this story about the camps, so it was much more serious story.
