I love telling people about movies I love only to realize that they're kind of/super obscure and I'm the weird one for knowing and loving them.

I also love finding people who do know these movies here on Tumblr.

These are the covers I remember when I first read The Devil's Arithmetic. The audiobooks on Hoopla is different.

I'm reading this for PopSugar's prompt, "A Book Published the Year You Were Born." I had a few other options in my list as well, but this felt like it was important to reread.

Do you have any WWI/WWII books that you could recommend, after reading Salt to the Sea I'm obsessed with historical fiction🙌🏼

Oh man we’ve got some good ones! 

The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen 

This award-winning novel about a young Jewish girl who finds herself transported back in time to the middle of the Holocaust is a can’t miss read full of emotion, horror, heart, and power. Jane Yolen is a master storyteller who handles history with a deft hand. Her newest book, Mapping the Bones, is also set during the Holocaust, and will be in stores next March. 

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

If you loved Salt to the Sea you’ll also love Ruta Sepetys other WWII book, Between Shades of Gray about a young girl and her family as they are sent to a prison camp in Siberia after Soviet forces invade her Lithuanian village. Full of heart, hope, and tears, this is one book you’ll never forget. 

Flygirl by Sheri L. Smith 

All Ida Mae Jones wants to do is fly, but as a young black woman in 1940s Louisiana, she knows she can’t... that is until America enters World War II, and the Army forms the WASP - Women Airforce Service Pilots. Ida uses her light skin to pass as a white, but struggles with the internal repercussions of her actions. Moving, hopeful, and self affirming this is one you don’t want to miss!

More people need to read The Devil’s Arithmetic.

There's a movie too if you're part of the "I don't have time for books" crowd; but I'd argue you're the kind of people who really need to read the book.

This is an audiobook I found on YouTube, but I don't know if it's the whole story.

Here's (most of) the movie on YouTube.
