What are some good WWII historical fiction books?
Alright, let me be honest with you: I have not read any non-WWII books for the past 2 years now. I'm so interested in the Second World War and I haven't read any fantasy or any other genre but WWII historical fiction for quite some time. I don't know how I'm not running out of books yet, but I need some suggestions. I have read multitudes upon multitudes of WWII books and I'll name some of the more popular ones I've read: The Book Thief Anne Frank's Diary Number the Stars Between Shades of Gray Code Name Verity Sarah's Key Alicia my story The Devil's Arithmetic Etc., and much much more. I even read "Schindler's List" But now, I need a new book to read. So, are there some suggestions of any good WWII historical fiction books out there? I'm kind of iffy with non fiction, but if it's good, that'll do. Please I love reading and if I don't read I get really bored and such so please tell me if you can suggest WWII only historical fiction books. Sorry, I know I sound crazy with me only wanting WWII books, but I love it too much. Any suggestions? Thanks! :))))
