  15. Nice summary of 15 fantastic books set in #Brisbane

    I've been meaning to read Alli Sinclair's - The #Codebreakers for a while.

    " (sic) one for the historical #fiction lovers, this time set in Brisbane during WWII, where a group of women form a close bond as codebreakers for Australia’s top-secret Central Bureau. According to the description, The Codebreakers is “a compelling story about tenacity and friendship”."

  16. CW: Body horror. England.

    You know what concisely summarizes the UK (or England, I suppose) for me:

    A few years ago, my spouse and I went to visit Bletchley Park one crisp morning to see where the code breakers worked and to visit the computer history museum.

    There was a woman doing a poo in the bushes outside the estate grounds.

  19. The rarity of the letter 'e' is a sign that the #codemakers knew their stuff.
    Because 'e' is the most common letter (in old as in modern French), it is what #codeBreakers would be looking for first.
    And the fake symbols were simply put in to sow more confusion.
    While most symbols represented letters or combinations of letters, others represented whole words - like a needle for English King Henry VIII.
