What are you reading at the moment?

I’m not the most enthusiastic reader - I think reluctant reader is a good fit - but I’m trying hard to read more. I enjoy history and have been recommended these easy reads by a friend. There seems to be a fair series worth. Am enjoying so far.

Have you heard of Wojtek the bear? This is one of the most heat warming stories I have come across relating to World War Two. All true, and if you enjoy reading about military history - this is a remarkable tale. One of my favourite lines that relates to Polish soldiers who found themselves in the Scottish Boarders in 1946:

"Living in limbo, as they were, Wojtek's presence did much to lift their spirits. In 1946, billeted in postwar rural Scotland, they were stateless, homeless and penniless; the only things they owned were a few meagre possessions in a bag - and a bear"
