Sign up by leaving a comment. I will do my best to remember that blogger is totally and completely unreliable and wonky when it comes to actually notifying me when a comment is left so that I approve all legitimate comments.
If you would like check-in posts throughout the year, please mention it in your sign up comment. If you are neutral or don't like checking-back-in mention that too, if you don't mind. I'll do what most want--or try to remember to do so. Let's be honest, intentions at the start of the year don't always stick.

Hi Becky,
I'm in! I had fun with a regular Saturday "WWII movie night" in 2021.

I am planning joining in this year for this challenge!
Too bad I missed this challenge! Although I read so many WWII books, I often think I need a "challenge" to venture elsewhere!
I think Bluebird by Sharon Cameron was my favorite of 2022 but my favorite WWII *activity* was visiting Bletchley Park which was a real dream come true:
