  The Rose Code by Kate Quinn Narrated by Saskatoon Maarleveld Format - Audiobook Book rating 4 out of 5 stars Narration rating 5 out of 5 stars CONTENT WARING: Very vivid descriptions of bombing scenes and gore! All in all I really loved this book but felt it was not what the description said it was going to be about. Thus the 4 star rating. In the description they talk about the Enigma Code a lot but this book was not at all about that but about another code they had to break to find a traitor. The book does talk about the Enigma Code but just in passing and about how long it took to break it. This book did take a good look at our code breakers during World War 2. The unsung heroes who helped win the war and broke the Germans codes sometimes with in minutes of them coming into their facility. Most of these code breakers were women and the work they did for the war effort was amazing. This book showed a glimpse into three women’s work on the front lines breaking these c...

  Nazi Wives:The Women at the Top of Hitler’s Germany by James Wyllie   Genre - Non Fiction Format - Ebook 5 out of 5 stars This book is a very thorough look into what the wives of the top German officials went through! The brainwashing is just amazing and how they believed in the Nazi cause themselves is utterly mind blowing. I love to read books about World War 2 but this one just blew me away. It talks about how the women ended up in the Nazi movement and their early years. It talks about how they each met and married their husbands and stood behind them unwavering without any thought to what their husbands were actually doing. Hate is shown so clearly in this book even the children were taught to hate. In these times we live in I would strongly recommend this book. It shows how hating a certain type, race, or even political party can erode people and split countries in two pieces!  I will not say more as to not ruin the book but it should be on everyone’s t...

Narrated by Nancy Peterson Format - Audiobook Genre - Historical Fiction Book 5 out of 5 stars Narration 5 out of 5 stars This was an amazing book set right at the beginning of the revolution in Russia. The narrator was great and did amazingly well on the accents. I think that is what made the book come alive for me.  The story was about Prince Dimitri Markhov and Doctor Katya Golitsyn one of a few female doctors of the time. It is all about how the revolution was started and of course Fabrege Eggs and other gifts made in the Fabrege style. Some of the details about the eggs are amazing.  It also showed how the upper class of that time lived. Affairs ran rampant and it was not unheard of to have a ménage type sex life. In fact Dimitri was married at the time he met Katya. Although himself and his wife were both having extramarital affairs. All that changes when he meets Katya. He is devoted to her from there on out. It also talks about the tensions between the Jews ...
