I am all for some fiction in movies.... I just cannot get past how this moving ignored so much actual history to bring this story to a conclusion. I am all for woman power, but I hated this movie.

Not to be rude, but yes, because otherwise, it is completely true to the world, right? Demigods, the Greek gods, and Themyscira - they all exist. It was just the whole disregard for historical events that the movie changed/added in.

Pretty unique take on a World War 1 war movie. Unique story and very unique styling.

Follows two individuals as they attempt to deliver an urgent message to the front lines in the trenches of WWI, directly in the line of fire.

There are some slow times during the movie but the highs definitely make up for the lows, and there will be emotions.

This new historical fiction book is also biographical fiction, and it might appeal to lovers of historical fantasy, because of the paranormal elements included. "Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey" tells the story of a soldier in WWI and the homing pigeon that helped rescue his battalion. I hope you'll take a look at my #bookreview of this beautifully written novel by Kathleen Rooney​ on my blog now.

The women who went to Europe in 1917 as signal corps officers with the US Army, played an enormous part in helping bring the “Great War” to its conclusion. However, until 1979, they were literally the unsung heroes of WWI, because the army refused to recognize them as proper soldiers. This injustice brought author Aimie K. Runyan to write this gripping historical fiction novel, that highlights these women and their contributions. You can read my #bookreview of “Girls on the Line” on my blog now.

Book Favorite

"The nonfictional account of Mary McCarthy's idyllic childhood, cut short by the death of her parents. McCarthy was orphaned by the influenza epidemic that followed WWI; both of her parents died in a flash. She was then raised by her grandparents in Seattle. The wonderful thing she does in the book is to tell what happened, and then to write about what might have happened. It takes 'memoir' to a whole other level. It gives you a shot of adrenaline; it makes you ask yourself, 'What was the transformational moment in my life when my story really begins?'"
