Yasmeen (yazzieyaz1) | 6 comments This year, I am hoping to read 20 books for 2020. So far, I have finished eight books—I think. Throughout the next few days, I will update this thread to discuss my thoughts on each read thus far.

Yasmeen (yazzieyaz1) | 6 comments The Woman Who Smashed Codes A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine who Outwitted America's Enemies by Jason Fagone

I bought this book on accident, and I am so glad I did. I had never heard of Elizabeth Friedman before this book, yet she played such a critical role in catching Nazi spies in WW2 with her mind for codebreaking. There is so much to this story and I do not want to give anything away; however, if you are looking for a read about a badass woman, read this book.
