If you remember, back in January I read 15 books! My all-time high for a month. February was not quite so exciting. I only read 7 books and that included a children’s book, 2 middle-grade books, and a novella. February went by so fast, I can barely believe we actually had the month. Just when I think our family is in a lull and we will have more downtime, I look at my calendar and realize…nope….not gonna happen. But, I am still sticking with my plan of always having a book with me and trying to be more conscious of going to my Kindle app versus going to social media and losing minutes or hours there.
I have so many great books to share with you this month. Some were purchased and others were sent for review. Be sure to look at the children’s books, many would make great Easter Basket gifts!

LET ME LIE
By: Clare Mackintosh
Published: March 13, 2018
Publisher: Berkley
Format: Paperback
I read and enjoyed Mackintosh’s previous two novels I LET YOU GO and I SEE YOU. They had just the right amount of secrets, lies, and creepiness that kept me turning the pages. Can’t wait to see what thrills lie ahead in her third novel.
The police say it was suicide.
Anna says it was murder.
They’re both wrong.
One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life brutally: a shocking suicide planned to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with their loss ever since.
Now with a young baby of her own, Anna misses her mother more than ever and starts to question her parents’ deaths. But by digging up their past, she’ll put her future in danger. Sometimes it’s safer to let things lie…

HOW TO FIND LOVE IN A BOOKSHOP
By: Veronica Henry
Published: August 15, 2017
Publisher: Pamela Dorman Books
Format: Hardcover
I took a bag of books to Half Price and brought two books back home. This was one choice. It might be cheesy, fluff read, but I love books about books and bookstores, so why not? Sometimes I just need a light, fun read. I was surprised by how recently it was published and I hadn’t heard of it before.
Everyone has a story . . . but will they get the happy ending they deserve?
Emilia has just returned to her idyllic Cotswold hometown to rescue the family business. Nightingale Books is a dream come true for book-lovers, but the best stories aren’t just within the pages of the books she sells – Emilia’s customers have their own tales to tell.
There’s the lady of the manor who is hiding a secret close to her heart; the single dad looking for books to share with his son but who isn’t quite what he seems; and the desperately shy chef trying to find the courage to talk to her crush . . .
And as for Emilia’s story, can she keep the promise she made to her father and save Nightingale Books?

MY GRANDMOTHER ASKED ME TO TELL YOU SHE’S SORRY
By: Fredrik Backman
Published: June 16, 2015
Publisher: Atria Books
Format: Paperback
My other choice from Half Price. I’m making it my mission to read all of Backman’s books so this is next!
Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy, standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-men-who-want-to-talk-about-Jesus-crazy. She is also Elsa’s best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother’s stories, in the Land of Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.
When Elsa’s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa’s greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother’s letters lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and totally ordinary old crones, but also to the truth about fairytales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.

THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY
By: Hannah Tinti
Published: January 30, 2018 (March 30, 2017 original)
Publisher: The Dial Press
Format: Paperback
I joined the Target Book of the Month and this was their choice for February. Since it’s just come out in paperback, I’m guessing that is why it was chosen for by Target. I’ve heard of the title but that’s about it.
After years spent living on the run, Samuel Hawley moves with his teenage daughter, Loo, to Olympus, Massachusetts. There, in his late wife’s hometown, Hawley finds work as a fisherman, while Loo struggles to fit in at school and grows curious about her mother’s mysterious death. Haunting them both are twelve scars Hawley carries on his body, from twelve bullets in his criminal past; a past that eventually spills over into his daughter’s present, until together they must face a reckoning yet to come. This father-daughter epic weaves back and forth through time and across America, from Alaska to the Adirondacks.
FOUR SEASONS IN ROME
On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World
By: Anthony Doerr
Published: June 12, 2007
Publisher: Scribner
Format: Paperback
I loved Doerr’s book THE SHELL COLLECTOR. I’ve heard about this memoir of his family’s time in Rome and Anne Bogel has raved about it several times. It was super cheap for a paperback (and still is) so I snagged a copy! I am dying to visit Rome so I’m sure this will feed my desires to travel there!
From the award-winning author of The Shell Collector and About Grace comes an evocative memoir of the timeless beauty of Rome and the day-to-day wonderment of living, writing, and raising twin boys in a foreign city.
GIVE A GIRL A KNIFE
A Memoir
By: Amy Thielen
Narrated by: Amy Thielen
Published: May 16, 2017
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
Format: Audiobook
As of today, this is just $1.99 on Kindle. I’ve been wanting to read Thielen’s book since it came out. My cousin knows her and has helped with a few of her book/food events in Minnesota. After Sheila at The Deliberate Reader mentioned it last month, I decided it would make a good audiobook so I used an Audible credit and just started listening. She reads it herself which makes any audio memoir better in my opinion.
Before Amy Thielen frantically plated rings of truffled potatoes in some of New York City s finest kitchens for chefs David Bouley, Daniel Boulud, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten she grew up in a northern Minnesota town home to the nation s largest French fry factory, the headwaters of the fast food nation, with a mother whose generous cooking pulsed with joy, family drama, and an overabundance of butter.
Inspired by her grandmother s tales of cooking on the family farm, Thielen moves with her artist husband to the rustic, off-the-grid cabin he built in the woods. There, standing at the stove three times a day, she finds the seed of a growing food obsession that leads to the sensory madhouse of New York s top haute cuisine brigades. When she goes home, she comes face to face with her past, and a curious truth: that beneath every foie gras sauce lies a rural foundation of potatoes and onions, and that taste memory is the most important ingredient of all.

THE GOOD HOUSE
A Novel
By: Ann Leary
Narrated by: Mary Beth Hurt
Published: January 15, 2013
Publisher: Picador
Format: Audiobook
I think this was also recommended by Anne Bogel and especially on audio, so I used another credit and purchased it. I was running low on audiobooks and my library holds aren’t coming through as fast as I had hoped. It was already on my to-read list so I’m hoping the audio version lives up to its great reviews.
How do you prove you’re not an alcoholic?
Hildy Good has reached that dangerous time in a woman’s life – middle-aged and divorced, she is an oddity in her small but privileged town. But Hildy isn’t one for self-pity and instead meets the world with a wry smile, a dark wit and a glass or two of Pinot Noir. When her two earnest grown-up children stage ‘an intervention’ and pack Hildy off to an addiction centre, she thinks all this fuss is ridiculous. After all, why shouldn’t Hildy enjoy a drink now and then?
But as the story progresses, we start to see another side to Hildy Good, and to her life’s greatest passion – the lies and self deceptions needed to support her drinking, and the damage she causes to those she loves. When a cluster of secrets become dangerously entwined, the reckless behaviour of one threatens to expose the other, with devastating consequences.

This was a choice in the February Free Reads for Kindle through Amazon Prime. It sounded like something I would like.
December 1943. In the years before the rise of Hitler, the Gerber family’s summer cottage was filled with laughter. Now, as deep drifts of snow blanket the Black Forest, German dissenter Franka Gerber is alone and hopeless. Fervor and brutality have swept through her homeland, taking away both her father and her brother and leaving her with no reason to live.
That is, until she discovers an unconscious airman lying in the snow wearing a Luftwaffe uniform, his parachute flapping in the wind. Unwilling to let him die, Franka takes him to her family’s isolated cabin despite her hatred for the regime he represents. But when it turns out that he is not who he seems, Franka begins a race against time to unravel the mystery of the airman’s true identity. Their tenuous bond becomes as inseparable as it is dangerous. Hunted by the Gestapo, can they trust each other enough to join forces on a mission that could change the face of the war and their own lives forever?

THE BOOK THAT MATTERS MOST
By: Ann Hood
Published: August 9, 2016
Publisher: W. W. Norton and Company
Format: eBook
This came up in my library overdrive loans. I read it quickly and it was an enjoyable read although it did take a few unexpected turns. You can see my thoughts in my Quick Lit Post.
Ava’s twenty-five-year marriage has fallen apart, and her two grown children are pursuing their own lives outside of the country. Ava joins a book group, not only for her love of reading but also out of sheer desperation for companionship. The group’s goal throughout the year is for each member to present the book that matters most to them. Ava rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood—one that helped her through the traumas of the untimely deaths of her sister and mother. Alternating with Ava’s story is that of her troubled daughter Maggie, who, living in Paris, descends into a destructive relationship with an older man. Ava’s mission to find that book and its enigmatic author takes her on a quest that unravels the secrets of her past and offers her and Maggie the chance to remake their lives.
THE ONE MAN

Publisher: Minotaur Books
Format: eBook
My niece told me about this one and it came up in my library overdrive loans. It’s a bit different from other WWII books I’ve read. It’s going a little slow for me, but I have a 14-day deadline, so I’m hoping I can keep at it before it disappears from my Kindle.
Poland. 1944. Alfred Mendl and his family are brought on a crowded train to a Nazi concentration camp after being caught trying to flee Paris with forged papers. His family is torn away from him on arrival, his life’s work burned before his eyes. To the guards, he is just another prisoner, but in fact Mendl–a renowned physicist–holds knowledge that only two people in the world possess. And the other is already at work for the Nazi war machine.
Four thousand miles away, in Washington, DC, Intelligence lieutenant Nathan Blum routinely decodes messages from occupied Poland. Having escaped the Krakow ghetto as a teenager after the Nazis executed his family, Nathan longs to do more for his new country in the war. But never did he expect the proposal he receives from “Wild” Bill Donovan, head of the OSS: to sneak into the most guarded place on earth, a living hell, on a mission to find and escape with one man, the one man the Allies believe can ensure them victory in the war.

Format: eBook
I chose this as part of a free book through my IHG Hotels app. A free Kindle book is a reward for members and so my cousin and I chose this one from the options. She’s already read it which means it must be a quick and thrilling read.
Evelyn Tester is sleepwalking through her suburban life—until a late-night phone call startles her awake. Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn’t alone.
Suddenly Evelyn’s world isn’t as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband’s secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn’s marriage. Although it’s a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent—even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair.
But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette’s picture-perfect life—complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband—the more she yearns for revenge…and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out?

World War II continues, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their loving legal guardian, Susan, in a borrowed cottage on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton—along with Lady Thorton herself and her daughter, Maggie.

But other impacts of the war become far more frightening. As death creeps closer to their door, life and morality during wartime grow more complex. Who is Ada now? How can she keep fighting?

You've got some great ones – I loved Four Seasons in Rome, and Give the Girl a Knife was so good on audio. Plus The War I Finally Won is a fantastic follow-up (I was nervous that nothing could live up to The War That Saved My Life, and fortunately I was wrong).
