I highly recommend FAMILY OF SPIES by Christine Kuehn. Nonfiction that reads like a novel, this is the story of a family of Germans who become spies for Japan and are integrally involved in Pearl Harbor.

I found very intriguing JUST EMILIA by Jennifer Oko. The past, present, and future versions of one women are stuck in an elevator. I loved the premise and found it worked well.

Can’t recommend highly enough the memoir, DESTROY THIS HOUSE by Amanda Huhle. If you liked EDUCATED by Tara Westover or THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeanette Walls, you’ll love this one.

My first book of 2025 is a memoir by the daughter of Erica Jong (Fear of Flying). HOW TO LOSE YOUR MOTHER focuses on an interesting mother-daughter relationship. It’s a quick read and I whipped through it.

My pick for Day 4 of
#libfaves24
is FRIENDLY FIRE: A FRACTURED MEMOIR by Paul Rousseau. The author survived an accidental shooting by his roommate. Between addressing traumatic brain injury and the lack of remorse shown by his shooter friend, this memoir is gripping and well written.
