Welcome to Litsy!

Some of the fiercest battles in the Pacific in WWII were over #Palau. In the 1990s, a successful entrepreneur and scientist found his life‘s calling to find the planes that had been shot down over the island and bring closure to many families who still had MIAs. As with his bioengineering business, his mission succeeded and this is part his story as well as a son who never knew his father, a gunner on one of the downed planes. #readingOceania

Hopefully I can read in peace & quiet.

It took awhile to read but it helped me understand the integrity of Eisenhower and his point of view on WW2. At the end he says that it was proven that a collaboration of allies could defeat a strong and evil foe to preserve liberty. He could have said more about Russia, but it was too soon.

My next audiobook is for #Palau, my second book for that country. #readingOceania @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Spied this spot earlier in the week and I‘ve been dreaming of reading here ever since…thinking today‘s the day!

Set in St Helier, Jersey
during the nazi occupation of the channel islands... The Wartime Book Club is a story of how books, & ordinary people doing extraordinary things can save lives! A story of bravery and survival, of commitment and dedication, of friendship & love. Of family, and what makes up a family. I enjoyed this book so much! Side note... I would love to see this story. Continue with Grace's granddaughter Poppy, & her island bookstore!

The escape from the city began, but some people couldn't escape.
