1. My Grandma

2. Sophie Scholl. Sophie has nearly 200 schools named after her in Germany. After the failed July 20, 1944, attempt on Hitler‘s life, the White Rose students are the best-known example of Germans who sought to resist the Nazis. That there were so few similar deeds shows just how difficult and dangerous resistance was and how successful Nazi tactics had been in desensitising consciences and eliminating whatever stood in their way.

TheSpineView So much bravery during wars. Thanks for playing! 1w

This is a captivating and well-researched novel. I was immersed in the dangerous and heroic world of resistance fighters during Nazi-occupied Europe. The book's exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and the resilience of the human spirit resonated strongly with me.

I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction and World War II literature.

I enjoyed the story; a bit overwrought. Book 9 of 2024

Ephemera Is the painting by Thomas Hart Benton? 2mo
BkClubCare @Ephemera - maybe?! I forgot to note it and couldn‘t find when I searched. But I do recall thinking Benton, but NO. Of course, I could be misremembering THAT, too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

monkeygirlsmama I'm not big on watermelon anything that isn't actual watermelon, but this flavor combo for wine intrigues me. What brand of label is it? My favorite wine is only available here during like one or two months during the summer from one particular grocery chain, it's a Hatch Chili Red and it's amazing! Sadly last summer I was freshly in the throws of grief and stocking up was the last thing on my mind. Always open to trying something new though. 🍷 2mo
monkeygirlsmama *brand OR label 2mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @monkeygirlsmama it‘s from a local winery called Magnolia Winery! My daughter got me to try it last summer. I‘ve never been much of a drinker but wanted to find some wine I like. I wouldn‘t have thought this would be a good combination but it is fabulous! I also like the plain watermelon 🍉🍷 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I've learned from working at the orchard that pear juice is frequently used as a “carrier“ of flavors for other fruit juices/wines, because it doesn't have a strong taste but is sweet. We make a blackberry pear cider at the orchard in the fall that is AMAZING. 2mo
Eggs Sounds so yummy 🤤🍷❤️ 2mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheAromaofBooks I love sweet! I have some actual pear that I haven‘t opened yet! 2mo
monkeygirlsmama @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'll have to look it up online. 2mo

Two #Wine titles from my stacks. The tagged one I read a few years ago & the other is in my TBR. The similarity in the covers always makes me laugh.😆

TODAY‘S PROMPT: WINE

HISTORICAL FICTION - WWII - FRANCE - ROMANCE

France, wine, WWII, present day, and love - all of this wrapped into one amazing, difficult-to-put-down read.

Another marvelous, intriguing read about the resiliency and determination of the French people and the entire European population.
