Good haul! I'll admit, I had to look up Playing the Enemy to see which John Carlin wrote the book. I couldn't imagine former Kansas governor John Carlin writing anything, much less about Nelson Mandela, but the universe IS strange like that sometimes...:lol:

Aimée & Jaguar: A Love Story, Berlin 1943 by Erica Fischer

It's been awhile. I even went back to working at the bookstore and didn't buy a single book. I'd been wanting to finish what I already own so I put off new purchases.
But after watching Aimee & Jaguar (1999), I had to know more so I bought the book by Erica Fischer.
