I know, you haven’t even stopped singing Jingle Bells andI’m talking about January
The month long featured read is a sentimental, hard to readWWII story about a Japanese American Man and a Caucasian American Woman andwhat happens to them and during the war. It’s a love story, but it’s a darkone, it’s a true look at what really went on across our land, when theresidents were guided by fear and by prejudice, it shows some real heroes andreal villains too. Bridge of ScarletLeaves is an amazing novel and I know you will all enjoy not only the readbut the author’s participation. Here’s my reviewand a Q&A with Kristina who we first met in February 2012 when the novelcame out. Check out Kristina’s websiteto learn more about her and her love of history.
Our second feature is our brand new Nook feature, I’m stilltweaking the details so for January we’re going to start with a Free FridayNook selection, check through the Free Friday selections and pick out one you’dlike to read then nominate it on the thread dedicated to it here.To find the selections click here for the NookBlog
