Read a bit from my book during #fridayhappyreadinghour, while listening to a podcast episode on The Age of Napoleon
pickI read this in school years ago and decided to re-read it for #192025
My son tells me this was the first book the Nazis banned and I can see why. This book showed what war was like very realistically. Heartbreaking.
A "I am going to Prague" book haul, trying to get a lot of history from the library as I realized I do not know much about the area.
so-soUnpopular opinion time: I didn‘t love this story. It felt very disjointed and all over the place. I don‘t read much magical realism but I had high hopes for this WWI tale about Laura & Freddie and their journey of finding each other in a war-torn world. It just didn‘t land for me. 3⭐️

I enjoyed listening to The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson. It's set at the end of WWI on the seaside in England. I thought the characters were well developed. I loved Poppy and the way she stood up for women's rights. She was my favorite character in the book. This was my first book by Simonson, but it won't be my last.

Just a word doodle from last night that became a rough haiku.

pickA little while ago Richard Osman chose this as his favourite ever short book / novella. (on The Rest is Entertainment podcast with Marina Hyde). It just appeared as an audiobook on my library app so I thought I‘d give it a go.
WW1 veteran, Tom, arrives in a Yorkshire village to restore a medieval mural in the church and finds restoration himself. It‘s such a beautiful but sad story - reminded me rather of The Remains of the Day.
