Welcome to Litsy!

Whew, time to get back on these book club boxes so I don‘t get piled in them.
This is a historical book about women nurses who were in the Vietnam war. What I understand is their experiences getting through that. What I know of the author is that she writes a lot of historical themed stories. Which is a genre I am working on exploring more of. I hear many good things of her, mixed on recent books. So we‘ll see.

I‘m planning on reading this book for an #AnimalPOV prompt on my #OUABC 40 book challenge. It‘s 9 stories, all told from animal points of view. I 💚the colorful cover.

“In nine stories that span the globe, What We Fed to the Manticore takes readers inside the minds of a full cast of animal narrators to understand the triumphs, heartbreaks, and complexities of the creatures that share our world.”

I have this #GraphicNovel checked out from the library to fill a “National Book Award Winner” prompt for my #OUABC 40 Book Challenge. It won the 2023 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. 🥇📚

Some #Fantasy titles from my way out of control #TBR These are also some of my #OnceUponABookClub titles which means they also have wrapped gifts. Hoping the next #Roll100 picks one to push me through some #OUABC boxes!

#ItTakesAllKinds

The #OnceUponABookClub box for February that I received yesterday has this book about the Vietnam #War

I have avoided Kristin Hannah books & many war books because I have to be in the *right* mood for sad stories & that‘s been harder lately. But hey, the #OUABC box includes 4 mystery gifts to open while reading so I may have to dip in soon.😉
