Super late to this but don't want to pass up an opportunity to gush about this glorious book!
1.I listen to radio dramas on the BBC,and music programmes on it too!
2.Kim is one of my favorite books,I read it over and over again and it's just as delightful each time.Its also very comforting which is surprising for a book that's also a fast paced spy thriller
Books I scored at the library this past Friday. Some old; some new. #libraryfinds
pick'She was a very strong lady,' Marzenna recalled. 'For her, nothing was impossible.

Recommended history of Polish resistance in WW2.
The descriptions of Agent Zo's personal skills reminded me of my gran. Everyone loved her, but not for her small talk!
Personal gripe: one of those "hidden histories" where actually what the author means/ acknowledges is "*English speakers* didn't know about it...".
pickCharming and chilling by turns.
What grabbed me is that it isn't a breathless tour of past exploits, derring-do, it's this well-spoken, self-effacing honest look at a bunch of moments the author decided might be interesting to the reader.
Carre(Cornwell) acknowledges his Service record, rather than slyly alluding to it, and sets out in the very beginning how much he will not be revealing and the reasons why. 1/?

Well, I've read 3 of them! Agree with 2 (Agent Zo & What the Wild Sea Can Be), not so sure about Raising Hare.
I'm glad The Eagle and the Hart didn't make it, but disappointed Sister in Law isn't there.
Will be getting Story of a Heart out of the library!
As far as possible, the women saved each other.
(Magdeburg camp, 1944)
Found this in the library when looking for the author‘s Shardlake mysteries. Starting today. Already intrigued. Madrid 1940s. Spies, espionage. A “bleak winter thriller.” (Back cover). Still feels more like winter than spring here.

I devoured volume four of “Spy x Family”. Between the assassination plot and the addition of a dog to this fake family, this book had me hooked until the very end. It did get a little dark at times (ex. mentions of war, animal experimentation), however all dogs had happy endings. I absolutely LOVE Bond and I can‘t wait to see more of him in future volumes!
