February is here! That felt like a really long January. Hopefully, before we know it, spring will arrive and bring warmer weather. It feels like a frozen tundra here in Pennsylvania, and I am not too happy about it. Thankfully, there are a ton of new books out this month to curl up with.

"In this new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve, one American woman’s vision in post WWII Germany will tie together three people in an unexpected way."
