Last book of 2025.
There are no recordings of Leonard Cohen's concerts for IDF troops in Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Friedman interviewed witnesses and combed through interviews and Cohen's numerous notebooks to reconstruct his time with Israeli soldiers. The result is a fascinating story that is worth reading not only for music lovers but also for those interested in Israeli history.

An excellent “history in verse” by a prolific writer of nonfiction for children & young adults. A collaboration between Carole Boston Weatherford and her son who did the illustrations. My August #BookSpin pick.

The weirdest weapon in my opinion is the sticky bomb on page 306

Picked this up because of Litsy. Not too twee considering its subject matter of a middle aged spinster and an ifrit.
A nice cozy book to sort of round out my reading year.

It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet.

This absolutely broke my heart! This is a personal, up close look at the real devastation of war and how it changes the landscape of the lives affected by it. It‘s horrifying and visceral and somehow, above everything, hopeful for a future that almost doesn‘t seem real. Everyone should have to read this story! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
