My Reading Getaway

Today I have a different view of WWII. Girls of Flight City is inspired by American woman who trained British Royal Air Force piolets. Since it is historical fiction, it is based on true events. This book was published earlier this month and already has a 4.6 out of 5 star review total on Amazon.com. Many reviews praised the book as emotional, realistic, heart tugging, and telling a story that is not well known. I have just started this book and I can tell you I will have a VERY hard time putting it down. I love WWII historical fiction and especially learning about areas I didn’t know before. The writing in this book pulls you in from the very first page. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I know I will! Book Blurb: 1941.

When the civilian flight school in her small Texas town begins to clandestinely train British pilots for the RAF, she fights to become an instructor.

It is meant for mothers with children, no matter if they are your blood or you feel like they are your children. "If you are raising a child, consider yourself a blessing to this challenging, yet rewarding journey. This book was written to give hop, encouragement, love, and inspiration to anyone raising children." The book will be available on April 28th and it is a must add to your TBR!

The book begins by going over what Elle considers core values. then follows with interviews with mothers. The advice is given in a way that is not preachy or demeaning. I have heard much of the advice before but it is good to be reminded. Elle uses bul...

Honey Harvest is a sweet book ideal for children ages 4-8. It is a fiction book but as my little described it, it is sort of a non fiction because it teaches you things. The author, Elissa Kerr, is the founder of Scenic Route Publishing. Honey Harvest is her third book. I read this book with my little and she really enjoyed it. She loved the pictures and how they described what was happening in the book. She loved the words because they rhymed and the story was very interesting. This book is not only about harvesting honey but about sharing and being nice. The girl goes with her father, who is a beekeeper and learns about bees. This is a great book for a child that loves books that teach and are a mixture of non-fiction. The book even has a Q&A at the end to teach more about bees and beekeeping. I think this is a great book for any child as the story and pictures will resonate with anyone! Zoe Saunders is the illustrator and she lives in Great Britain. She loves illustrating chil...
