Once There Was a Town by Jane Ziegelman ~ a Review

by Donna Huber


By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes readers on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts.

by MK French


This month is full of fantasy new releases. I'm breaking them up by subgenres and starting with Romantic Fantasy or Romantasy. One was an okay read, but the other two were great.

2025 Year in Review

by Donna Huber


Can you believe we are at the end of 2025? This year seemed to pass at a normal pace for me, not too fast and not too slow. I personally read a lot this year. Susan, MK, and I reviewed a lot of books. If I'm counting right, we did 377 posts - not all of these were reviews, but many of them contained multiple books reviewed. Whether you are a new reader of Girl Who Reads or maybe you missed a few posts along the way, I've rounded up our most popular reviews and other posts of 2025.
