All of these books sound amazing. But I love the concept of THIS WILL BE FUN, for all the reasons you mentioned. The "after" of a major adventure is rarely explored, and I love that there is a novel dedicated to this.
Hi Elizabeth, getting back to you before you forget you gave me an assignment. That was to read another Ariel Lawhon novel and see if I liked it as much as I liked Frozen River. I'm now halfway through "Code Name Helene" another historical fiction, this time about a singular and extraordinary figure in the French Resistance of WWII, an australian woman named Nancy Wake. I can hardly put it down, I'm liking it so much. So, there you go.
Wow, Elizabeth. All three of these are going on my TBR list. I am very drawn in by the premise of Wrong Place, Wrong Time. I've seen a documentary based on Crownsville and added to the list of things that our history teachers either didn't know or want to explain. And THIS WILL BE FUN reminded me that it is has been a very long time since I last read any book like the Potter series or His Dark Materials. This one seems like a fun and poignant book to bring me back to stories that take place outside this world but are rooted in the same stuff we all deal with.

It's such a great concept for a book.

Thanks for letting me know!
I LOVED The Frozen River. Thank you for the inspiration to go get more of her books!

I enjoy your recommendations and frequently find myself adding at least one book to my TBR on Goodreads! Thanks.
Oh, thank you! Makes my day.
My absolute favorite newsletter! The one I wait for every week and read as soon as I receive it.
