This was a fun little listen. I‘m not usually into war books, but this one was unusual enough 😊

Diary of a Man in Despair | Fritz Percy Reck-Malleczewen

Hard to pick just one quote from this book, appallingly timely in its observations applied to current events, 90 years later.

“With his oily hair falling into his face as he ranted, he had the look of a man trying to seduce the cook. I got the impression of basic stupidity, the same kind of his crony Papen - the kind of stupidity which equates statemanshio with cheating at a horse trade.”

Library today to get books and a state park pass, then to read at the state beach 15 minutes away. 😎
Does your state loan out state park passes? I love this program!

TheBookgeekFrau My state, Colorado, does 😁 1d
kspenmoll We can go to state parks free but you need to go early to park- the parks close when lots are full & sone parks have really small lots. 1d

Page 304 cemented this as a five star read. Historically based on the houses that “bore and raised” children for Hitlers Germany. The secrets that were everywhere for people to survive. Excellent historical fiction. Alina the mother and survivor.

Just finished this beautiful story. A three-timeline plot, set before, during, and immediately after WWII in Germany, it follows two sisters and the woman who comes across a book tied to them. It‘s heart wrenching and uplifting at the same time. So glad I read this.

4 ⭐️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.
