pickAn interesting starter bio of a remarkable woman - though the level of detail/complexity seemed to vary. Also I had hoped for a bit more time spent on spy hunting. Definitely has me interested in further reading.

Hey Everyone!! I went from being and English major to being kinda obsessed with computers so this Amazon pick got me also. It‘s over 500 pages so it will take me a while.
pickSuch a great picture book. I unfortunately was not so familiar with Elizabeth Friedman. Helping find spies & decode secrets in two world wars, she‘s America‘s female equivalent of Alan Turing. Thankful to #bbrc for causing me to pick this up! ⌨️🕵🏻♀️
I loved this! It's incredibly clever, a brilliant use of the epistolary format, but also with heart and depth.
I recommend the audiobook, especially if you're in the States, because the American edition of the book has changed out a lot of the British slang. (Needlessly and quite destructively, especially given the author's intent.)

Janice Hallett‘s debut work was a fun ride and this second book from her is no different. You can‘t skim because even the smallest bit of dialogue or what seems like a minor detail can have a huge ripple effect. A good pick!
I‘m trying to use the library more, BUT what‘s a person to do when The Appeal has a waitlist?
Buy the author‘s backlist on Book Depository, apparently!🤣 I also saw she has a new one, The Christmas Appeal, coming out next October. 🎄🎅🏼
