24/100 I don't believe that I have ever listened to a less interesting book involving dinosaurs and paleontology, two subjects that I'm very interested in. IMO the book spends too much time discussing religious leaders, and how they tried to align fossils with the teachings of the bible. Even when discussing Darwin and evolution, it was more about the affect on the religious community than on the validity of the theories. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025

inkilea Good to know, thank you! (This was on my as-yet-unpurchased tbr) 14h

I read a lot of WWII nonfiction history and historical fiction books. I had never heard about the Propaganda Girls that worked in the Marole Operations (MO) branch of the OSS. Propaganda Girls tells of four women who worked in the MO office.

Rogak, you can tell when you read it, a thoroughly researched book. These 4 ladies were a major part of WWII. They helped with false information to enemy soldiers trying to get them to surrender. ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read The MO office was quite successful in accomplishing turning the enemy soldiers' morale to low and causing some to surrender to the Allies.

If you enjoy WWII history, you would probably enjoy Propaganda Girls.

Tentative Publication Date: March 4, 2025

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Another installment of the Heart Falls Holiday series. This one was about a couple who have grown up together but seemed to always fight or tease each other. Can they make this work? #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 2 spots for #ISpyBingoMarch @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks

#Read2025

Finished this past week for February!s #FoodAndLit #Nepal I ended up really liking it. About a journalist going after a story that requires her to summit Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world. Mountain climbing fascinates me probably because I am clumsy, not good in cold, scared of heights, can‘t breathe as it is (let alone at high altitudes) & could never do it & it gives me high anxiety which actually works with a thriller.😱😉⬇️

DebinHawaii … I listened to this one on audio throughout the month & while I really enjoyed it while listening, I didn‘t mind the stops & starts. The food I wanted to try & will this week (hopefully) is Momos, a traditional Nepalese steamed dumpling with a variety fillings and sauces. They were mentioned in the book as something the climbers were eating in base camp & I‘m excited to try them & maybe some of the curries too. ⬇️ (edited) 4d
DebinHawaii We have one Nepalese restaurant with two locations not that close to home & when I tried to go to one yesterday after lunch to pick some up to take home with me, they were closed early for the day. 🥺 Anyway, I took a few days off this week & will try again & I‘ll leave a comment here with what I thought. The picture here is from the restaurant‘s website. (edited) 4d
Texreader You just described me!! But I think I‘d like this book too. I just tried momos yesterday. They were good. I hope you‘re more successful when you try again. 4d

#Read2025

My second #ThematicCozies pick for February: Romance was just okay for me. It had potential (the author of a mystery series is invited to a wedding on a private island in the San Juan‘s where the groom is her ex) but there were too many characters & it came across really disjointed. The transitions between the MC & her own mystery series MC felt muddled. I don‘t know if it‘s meant to be a series or a stand alone title & it‘s the ⬇️

DebinHawaii ……author‘s debut foray into adult fiction (there is some spice which makes it not quite a traditional cozy) & I don‘t know if I‘d read more or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️It did get an ARC finished & off my TBR so I‘m happy about that.
