pickBook 28 of 2025. This was a story of love and betrayal, not necessarily happy, but so good nonetheless. If you like historical fiction, especially the WWII time period, you will love this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We do not care if it offends or upsets you because it‘s a political post and not “book-related,” because we‘re going to say it anyway: If you support a man who thinks teaching people that owning human beings is “woke,” you might be —nay, you ARE —a fascist Nazi.

These I the books, etc. I bought at Possible Futures Bookstore. “Remember” is the poem that was on the final wall of the art exhibit we saw Sunday: (Un) Settled The Landscape in American Art. It‘s such a beautiful poem that I had to buy the children‘s book -the illustrations are gorgeous. #Resistance
Gorgeous mural on the brick walls of a New Haven, CT, Black owned bookstore, Possible Futures. You have to blow up the picture to read about the artist & a dedication- believe me it‘s worth it.My decades long friend & EGHS educator & I go on an annual summertime Indie bookstore discovery. We spent a couple of hours in this bookstore today. #CTIndieBookStoreTrail #BookLoverFriends #resistance
Last night‘s scores from the book swap on the way home from my private ballet lesson. This makes Monday bearable. When I arrive home I have a wine and a stretch then straight to bed. I even had a pretty good night‘s sleep and woke half an hour early this morning to some online shopping bargains.
pickHistory is messy, because humans are complex and this volume does a good job in showing the complex, messy, sometimes contradictory behavior of the humans in one part of France during a terrible time in history. The author shows us more than the heroics. The book follows many people, Jewish, Protestant and Catholic. It portrays as many sides of each of them as is knowable, and doesn‘t refrain from admitting when it cannot be known. A bit clunky ⬇️
