I've been there, gotten into a rut and nothing appeals. Here they are:
- Five Came Back by Mark Harris, an account of five top Hollywood directors who spent WWII in the service making films.
- Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo, about an enslaved couple who escaped bondage. It won the Pulitzer for biography this year.
- A Wreath of Roses by Elizabeth Taylor, a dark novel set just after WWII.

I loved this, so we have that in common.
What kinds of books do you like? Giving recommendations is fun and I love seeing other people's favorites. Are you on Goodreads? If you can identify people with similar tastes, it's a good source of new-to-me books.
