The City of Thieves

Our March Book:

City of Thieves

David Benioff

It was a small group this month for book club! We had fun though! We had lots to talk about this book. It took me the first few chapters to get used to the story and what was going on but once the grandfather starts telling his story of living in Russia during WWII I was hooked. I've read quite a few WWII books, but never one about people in Russia during the time. It's a great story about a guy who's sent on a mission to find a dozen eggs when everyone everyone is struggling just to find any food to eat. It's also a love story...at least, I thought it was a love story. And it was also funny because of the characters, it's weird to say it was funny, but it was funny. Overall, I the two of us who came to discuss the book really enjoyed it!

I'm so sad that we forgot to take a picture this time...bummer.
