The 2021 World War II Reading Challenge
Well, I have found one new 2021 reading challenge to join! This year
I did Russian literature/history (and not nearly enough of it; my pile
is still tall), and now I shall do the World War II Reading Challenge at Becky's Book Reviews. I have quite a tall stack of WWII books too. They mostly cover Europe, from the UK to the USSR.
