Miss Morgan's Book Brigade by Janet Skeslien Charles
3.0
Book #54 read in 2024
While I don't usually choose historical fiction books, I love books about librarians. It is told in dual timelines: 1918, where we follow Jessie "Kit" Carson as she fights to establish children's libraries during wartime, and 1987 when Wendy Peterson discovers Jessie and tries to learn what happened to her. I really loved the 1918 timeline, but didn't connect so much with the 1987 one. Maybe it was that I listened to this on audio, and maybe it was the timing of the book in my life. This is one that I feel historical fiction lovers would really enjoy.
