Ms M was very interested in the Second World War and we kept reading books related to it – fiction and non-fiction – for the longest time. I was going to write summaries and/or reviews, but I am in a blue funk because my digi-cam has gone wonky.
So here is a list of books we like… reviews will come later in shaa Allah… when my good humour is restored…
