This image shows a war memorial dedicated to the Canadian Corps, indicating their military effort in October and November 1917 during World War I. The inscription on the monument marks their advancement across a valley, describing it as a treacherous morass, and their capture and holding of Passchendaele Ridge.

In front of the monument, there are three portraits placed on the base, each with a name beneath them: Antoine Leytens, Stephen Ernest Shortliffe, and Hermann Keck. These likely represent soldiers who participated in the historical events commemorated by the memorial. Below the portraits, there are wreaths adorned with red poppies, a symbol often used to remember those who have died in military service, particularly in British and Commonwealth countries. Small Canadian flags are also placed near the portraits, emphasizing the memorial’s connection to Canada and its historical military contributions.

This image shows a bilingual plaque (in French and English) describing the Battle of Passchendaele, which occurred in October-November 1917 during World War I. The plaque outlines the harsh conditions and notable bravery demonstrated by Canadian forces during the battle. It mentions the challenging terrain and weather experienced by the soldiers, including deep mud and a dominating enemy force. Additionally, it highlights the significant casualties endured by the Canadian Corps and the awarding of the Victoria Cross to nine Canadian soldiers for their valor. The plaque is an official historical marker, as indicated by the logos of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and the Commission des lieux et monuments historiques du Canada at the bottom. It seeks to commemorate this critical event in Canadian military history.

The image shows a symmetrically aligned pathway leading up to a monument or memorial. The monument is centered at the far end of the pathway and appears to be a large rectangular structure with inscriptions on its front. The setting is peaceful, surrounded by well-kept green lawns and mature trees. The sky is blue with some scattered clouds. Based on the structure and surroundings, this location may serve as a dedicated space for remembrance or tribute.

Book Review #9 for 2025 is James F Calvert's Silent Running. A retired Vice Admiral, the late Jim Calvert has written one the most honest and compelling biographies I have ever read. Calvert does tell the story of life at, and under, the sea during WW2. But he also talks about the challenges, temptations, and emotions of war and it's uncertainty. #WW2, #militaryhistory #books #bookreview #bookstodon @books @thestorygraph

Book Review #8 for 2025 is Ed Offley's Turning the Tide. A well written book about the Battle For The Atlantic in WW2. Offley highlights the men and the ships, who braved the cold and the uncertainty to get supplies to Britain. Featured is the turning point in May 1943 when convoy ONS 5 engaged in a battle with over 40 U-Boats that resulted in 6 sunk and 7 damaged and the eventual removal of the boats from the North Atlantic. ☕☕☕☕ review #history #WW2 @books @bookstodon

Book Review # 7 for 2025 is John Le Carre's Smiley's People. Smiley comes out of retirement to confront his nemesis Karla. A tense novel that twists and turns. I really liked this one! #books #bookstodon #spynovel #novel #fiction @books @bookstodonmy @bookstodon ☕☕☕☕☕ review

Our first spring in the new bookshop, and we're loving the way the late afternoon light filters into the Children's Room.

Fun Fact: Immigrants aren’t coming for your jobs. They never were and even illegal immigrants contribute far more to the economy than they take.

HOWEVER. There are 60,000 highly educated, hard working people with very impressive resumes whose jobs were just eliminated.

Those people are coming for your jobs.

@terri Fantastic! Congratulations!

In case anyone's wondering how my "cope with burnout by constantly thinking about Legend of Zelda" strategy is going, I have some new wall art and 1000 hits on my latest fanfic, but I'm not really close to finishing Tears of the Kingdom yet. ❤️

‘quiet’ by susan cain is one of those books that is so hyped, one just expects to love it—at least if you are an introverted idealist who loves reading in general and psychology in particular. but i didn't. i was missing the science.
