pick4.5⭐️ I really liked this book. Felt it was a bit too slow in places. I would recommend this book to people who like historical fiction and want to read more books that take place pre and post #WWII. Also for fans who like #lgbtqai+ themes. #2025 #historicalfiction #fiction #literaryfiction
pick“…but to be on my own again and free. The thought is a dangerous one, though, and I know that I mustn‘t let it grow too large.”

pickI wish that this #ScottishBook had won the vote for last month‘s #bookclub meeting! Set during WWII, Ellis & Maddie are a married couple more intent on fun than the war effort. Their drunken frivolities get them banned from the family & so with flat-footed Hank, they make their way from New England the Loch Ness in the midst of the war! This proves eye-opening for Maddie who finds that Scotland helps her see the truth about herself & her marriage.
I will not call this "Aligator anything", no this is Donald's Dachau...the 1st concentration camp established by the Nazi's. They were so proud of their 1st concentration camp that they would have sold merch if they could have too.
If you're feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and like you have no control over any of this...remember calling it what it is , a concentration camp is resistance. Joy is resistance, knowledge is resistance. Resist

12 year old Tomi writes “I Am An American”
while being forced into an internment camp, holding tight to loyalty in the face of injustice. ⛺️🔒
but the story leans into hope over anger. It‘s about quiet, perseverance, & belief in a country still stumbling toward its promises.
Note: it‘s a strawberry field not a cherry orchard haha 🤣

I forgot my Kindle and a book at home. I ran by Mardel's Christian Store and grabbed a book. Now I'm going to read before my doctor appointment.
