Posting my 2025 Buddy-reads with my Mom♥️
To have this experience of discovery and discussion with my mother is so special and precious to me. It is another level entirely to get different perspectives on the same material, and it has been such a pleasure to learn things about one another along the way.
These are favorites! Mom and I have both referred back to these in conversation several times. The tagged book is a hidden, heartwarming gem!
pickIt was short but great. I had never heard of this unit. #audible
pickI am so glad this book landed on my radar. I learned so much. Very emotional read. The amount of determination and courage to research the Home Army women fascinated me. A hero. @OutsmartYourShelf #Research
If I can finish 5 of my current reads, I'll be happy. #TurnthePage @Bookwormjillk Thanks for doing this.

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.
pickI first learned that Monopoly board games were used in WWII from, “The Ways We Hide” by Kristina McMorris. Her book was good and I‘d recommend it, but I wanted more of the Monopoly story. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this book 🤩 If you‘re looking for a fascinating, less than 300 page non-fiction read, THIS IS IT! I want to tell everyone I meet now about this amazing, almost lost forever, story from WWII.
When hubby is having his friends over to play video games (I swear he‘s an adult, but definitely an ‘elder millennial‘ 🤣) but it‘s too hot to read outside, we improvise by reading in our bedroom by the window and 2 fans blowing on us 🤣🤗👍
