Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Sometimes I just need historical fiction about someone who finds incredible courage and strength they never knew they had when faced with horrific circumstances. Who cares if it seems plausible or how well developed all of the characters are? Was this the best WWII novel I have ever read? Nope. Did I become very emotionally invested and read this book in practically one sitting? Yep. And I would do it again.

I chose this as an Amazon first pick a few years ago. It interesting to read a story set in the Philippines. I hope there will be more World War 2 books written set in the Pacific Theater.

27 days. 1006 pages. Longest book of the year done and dusted!

This book had everything. Drama. History. Politics. Romance. Family. 💖

My second #WWII for this month's #BookedInTime

I just loved how books brought people together for comfort and escape while bombs were falling around them, and the relationships that grew from one chance encounter.

HF WW2 Guernsey Island. When the Nazis invaded, most parents sent their children to England. Catherine and Henry are escorted by their teacher, but teacher and her sister trade places. The sister lets Henry board the train, then she walks the other way with Catherine…the siblings were then lost from each other

I really love this MG series about two evacuated children during WWII in England. The characters touch your heart even when they are being stubborn and irrational. #BookedInTime #WWII

This book was different than what I was expecting. By the title you‘re expecting the perspective of 1 person…not the case here. You follow 2 different women and that threw me off for the longest time and it still didn‘t really come together like you‘d hope/expect. I did like both their perspectives but I was confused the whole time the point of the second lady. I would give this book 3.5 stars.

Checked out the newest #Austin Texas bookstore: First Light Bookshop. Delightful! A great curated collection of books-bestsellers, classics, and a couple unique and unfamiliar books I had to bring home.

This should have been better. Translates (slightly stiltedly I felt) from Turkish this is the story of a handful@of brave Turkish diplomats and their efforts to move Jewish Turks out of occupied France, going as far as issuing passports to non Turkish Jews additionally. What the booked missed was a really strong protagonist and a parallel sorry about the sister of one of the travellers added little #bookedintime #pantone2023 a soft pick
