I’ve read a quarter of my July Book of the Month. I married a game developer, so I was excited to try a book about game developers, and I love the different time periods and locations so far.

Finished: The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle
The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle was a lovely book. It was told from the point of view of three different women in England during World War II. I loved getting to know each character and easing into the village. This book was filled with women helping each other, and included some sweet romance. I also enjoyed the detail about clothes rationing, “make do and mend”, and wartime “utility” design for clothes.

Read: They Called Us Enemy

It was also a memoir of George Takei’s life after the war. The story from young George’s perspective was really affective. As a parent with young children, it was especially impactful to read about how the children viewed the experiences with innocence, many times thinking things were fun adventures. And how much the parents worked to keep it that way.
