Subtitle: A War Story

Hardcover with no dust jacket. Turns out I have *two* copies of this on the TBR stack, so I think I should let one of them go...

Other copies on my BookCrossing shelf:

Got the book. Thank you! It was one of the WBN reads that looked good. It can also be a 666 read for 2014, so adding to the 666 TBR shelf.

Change status. Book Club book later this year.

rabck from bookstogive; I had higher hopes for this one. The author certainly did her research, and it unfortunately showed. She kept changing from telling the story, to stopping and attributing something. She also had a habit of straying off the story line, to put a page or two discourse of her research in, such as about the beetle collection. While interesting, it just interrupted the flow of the story. I find it hard to believe that this book was chosen for WBN. This will travel on in the "maybe for someone else" bookbox.

Going out as a wishlist tag.

Wishlist tag! Enjoy

I received this book in the mail from NancyNova of Lansdale, Pennsylvania who tagged me in the wishlist tag game.

Thank you so much for this book, NancyNova. I look forward to reading it. Thank you also for the labels, stickers, and bookmarks inside the pages of the book. I've already used the labels and stickers.

It was interesting to read about life in Warsaw during World War II told from the perspective of a Polish citizen. The books that I'd read before were Holocaust books focusing on life in the ghetto. This book describes the organized way many Poles helped the people in the ghetto. Life in a zoo from the perspective of the zookeeper's family provided a unique perspective. There was a lot of information about zoology, entomology, etc.

This book has been mailed to bethieb as a birthday surprise. It was on her wishlist.

Happy Birthday, bethieb!

Thank you tabby-cat-owner for helping to make my birthday extra special. This book has really been around! I'll get to it soon and then keep it moving.

I've had this book on my shelf for too long and haven't been able to get into it. Time for it to get back out there and mingle.

I'll be in the area tomorrow for lunch and geocaching. I've heard that there's a new Little Free Library in the park - an Eagle Scout project - so I will leave this book inside.
