Summer in my neck of the woods. Winter for most of you. You'll be keeping warm and longing for Spring whilst I'm enjoy tramping, surfing, sea, sun and the mountains, all in easy reach. Or I should be. Alas I'm just out of hospital having had a min-stroke. A calm quiet existence for me and lots of nasty pills. This is what stress does to one when one is older. I'll be joining you in choosing enough books to fill my reader although it's a thinner offering than usual. Everyone's on holiday.
AGAIN BEWARE, WATCH the 1ST two offerings' deadlines! Most of the books are free and I hope you'll find a few to enjoy.

ALREADY A BEST SELLER
G.J. Berger, best selling and prize winning historical fiction author, and my colleague in Writer's Choice (that's our writers' historical fiction publishing co-operative) has just put together his mother's memoir, 'To Steal a Moment's Time'. I'm reading it to review for him. It's stunning.
Blurb:
On the brink of World War II, Katharina Berger was the most sought-after stage and film actress in Germany. As many of her colleagues fled Hitler’s madness and the devastation of war, Katharina stayed and gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 1944. From evading Nazi fanatics and helping Jews escape, to scrounging for food and shelter as she searched for her missing husband, she journaled during her son’s first year of life, surviving on the small thread of hope that she and her child might live to see a better world.
Still not released (Feb 8th) but already this memoir has been listed in multiple Amazon Top 100 lists. It has reached as high as 22 in Theatre Biographies, no. 71 in Survival Biographies, and no. 69 in Historical German Biographies. These rankings change by the hour, but it's a great start, especially since readers have to wait a while to actually get the book.
AND
A couple of you have asked me what I'm reading.
Today's book is the hilarious 'Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows' by Balli Kaur Jaswal
Born and brought up in London, young Nikki is trying to avoid strict Sikh traditions without losing her culture, and trying to find out where she belongs. The widows she is employed by the Temple to teach English, but they have an awful lot to teach her!
Stay safe, stay well and happy reading
