pick4 ⭐️Mom and I have endured some real duds in our recent buddy-read selections, so when we spun the wheel of our books we kept our fingers crossed that it would land, at last, on something we could truly enjoy.
It worked! A heartfelt, heartwarming account of one small town‘s efforts to bring big joy to hundreds of thousands of servicemen/women in WWII. Even with war as the background, this book was sweet, and a welcome reminder of human kindness.
pickMan, I loved this book so much! I randomly found it at a secondhand store and thought it looked interesting, and took it on summer holiday - so glad I did. An amazing adventure travelling the world, fascinating to read about the different people and experiences she and her husband had, and the massive variety between each one. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My inner geek loved this history of the London Underground, my favourite read of February
