Welcome to Litsy!

We follow the friendship of Hazel and Maxine. They met on a USO tour at the end of WWII. The core of the story takes place during the McCarthy witch-hunt of communists in the entertainment industry. I listened to this on audio and I didn‘t care for the narrator for Maxine, even though I really liked the character. I enjoyed the story overall even if it got a little cheesy at times. But didn‘t really love the end. Read for #literarycrew

Don't judge a book by its title! 🤭

The art in this one is GORGEOUS and is definitely carrying it for me. The story is very much a love story and is just okay for me for now. It's only 10 vols (or 5 omnis) long so definitely doable still.

I read this for book club, and honestly I was a bit reluctant about it, thinking it might be rather boring, but what a wonderful novel!! I am so glad I read it, this is why I love book groups, bringing novels into my life that I otherwise wouldn't pick up. 4.5 stars, this book made me laugh and cry and I loved it. 💜

Scary nun is scary for a reason.

I learned of Kate Grenville through Litsy and have become such a huge fan. At first I wasn't that crazy about this one, but after a small break, I loved it and I was sad to see it end. She is so good at writing about this period of Australian history. 4.5 🌟
