Book 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.

Amiable @LeeRHarry I have some words with 4-letters, too. And also —his name must be on every single page of the Epstein files based on all of the distractions he‘s trying to throw out. 1mo

Amiable @Jari-chan I have a t-shirt that says, “WOKE: It‘s not the insult you think it is.” ✊🏼💙 1mo

mcctrish I was watching some shit tv review on Jillian Michaels weighing in on support of this - how is a gay woman a MAHA/MAGA cult member? Just no! 1mo

ElizaMarie I don't know how/why people don't seem to understand that reading IS political. 1mo

JenReadsAlot I'm so beyond disgusted..... 1mo

Amiable @JenReadsAlot At this point I‘m more disgusted by his supporters. He‘s never hidden what he is. This could have ended at any point if Republicans had any moral courage, integrity, ethics or backbone. But those concepts are apparently too “woke” for them as well. 1mo

TheBookHippie He is who he is. His supporters and enablers are the scourge of evil. 1mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish she is beyond complicit. 1mo

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie people don‘t like to be called out. 1mo

JenReadsAlot I feel that too. Cannot deal with anyone who supports him either 1mo

TheBookHippie Don‘t let the screen door hit ya on your way out! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 1mo

Aims42 My mom had a Trumper come up to her and start talking to her and she was so disgusted and also shocked by how many blatant conspiracy theories he was telling her 🤢🤮 Does anyone have a good response for these situations? I mean besides smacking them upside their head and asking what‘s wrong with them? 1mo

TheBookHippie @Aims42 I tell them I‘ll pray for them. Probs not appropriate 😂😬🤣 I would like a better response…my daughter says bless your heart. Honestly it‘s so off the wall does it even matter what we say? 1mo

Jari-chan @Amiable Oh, I love that! I would cheer on every person I'd see wearing that. 1mo

Suet624 Thank you!! 1mo

Aims42 @TheBookHippie I would just love a quick, witty thing that would shut them up 😆 I‘ll remember you and your daughter‘s replies! 1mo

Susanita If you‘re not woke, you‘re asleep. 1mo

lil1inblue @Susanita 🙌 🎯🙌 🎯🙌 1mo

lil1inblue And this is precisely why reading IS political. That's how we keep the truth alive - by reading our real history. 🙌 🙌 🙌 1mo

ravenlee @mcctrish she‘s always been a pretty garbage human; now it‘s just louder. 1mo

Deblovestoread 💯. We knew exactly who he was from day one. It is out there for all to see. Those that support him and those that are quiet even when they know it‘s wrong are allowing it to happen. Shame on all of them. And because of their silence we will be louder! 1mo

Chrissyreadit 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 1mo

dabbe One of the most P✊🏻WERFULheartfelt posts I have ever read. Thank you for your forthrightness and integrity. You hit all the “woke“ nails on the head. And you're so right: it's the people who STILL support him after remarks like this that I just cannot understand or support. How they can even physically wake“ up every morning, look at themselves in the mirror, and STILL believe in this fascist ass is completely beyond my comprehension. 💙✊🏻💙 1mo

Leftcoastzen Great post ! I hate this insanity. A disgrace! 3w

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.

Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France | Caroline Moorehead

pick

History 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 ⬇️

Lcsmcat at times, but inspiring nonetheless. It should be read by anyone working to resist evil. And we need more people like that right now. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo

Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France | Caroline Moorehead

This book is so needed right now! As shown above, people were slow to realize the enormity of the problem and to act. It‘s so similar to what I see going on right now.

TheBookHippie Have you been privy to the letters sent to churches from the government 😵‍💫recently… 1mo

CarolynM Many parallels. 1mo

I saw this movie as a child when I was too young to fully understand it. The book is based on the true story of SOE agent Violette Szabo who was executed by the SS in 1945.

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 2mo

The Winemaker's Wife | Kristin Harmel

pick

Another historical fiction with such a heartfelt plot. I really enjoyed reading the story even when the tears fell. The timeframe begins as the Germans start WWII. The winemakers of France are trying to save their country. The love and memories broke my heart. One of the best stories I‘ve read this year. 4.5/5⭐️
