Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, I loved this. On the edge on my seat and finished it in two days.

It‘s about a newly graduated Black nurse in Alabama working at a family planning clinic in 1973, shortly after the uncovering of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments.

Highly recommended.

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

I have two books on my TBR with “Glory” in the title. A Ballad of Love and Glory, and Morning Glory. 🙂

I scored a May Gibbs gum nut babies handmade 1 as well for the bargain price of $2. There are also toiletries you can‘t see as well as an oil burner, a bandanna & bows to clip above my bun for ballet. I didn‘t try on the swimmers and the top doesn‘t fit

Bess Crawford is an English nurse serving in World War I. I‘m not sure why, although by posting this I‘m sure someone will explain it to me, but the English refer to nurses as “Sisters.” Bess served in France and cared for a pilot who was seriously burned in a crash. When his wife is murdered he feels he has nothing to live for and kills himself. Bess is drawn deep into the search for a murderer and becomes obsessed with finding (cont)⬇️

Audio cooking today! It‘s my day off work today so, even though it‘s warmer today than it has been recently, I‘m making homemade chili! My husband has been begging me to make it since the first sign of fall was in the air.
I really like this audio book so far but have had a little trouble keeping up with the multiple characters since they aren‘t separated by chapters.
