Welcome to Litsy!

22 #19 This is a sweet book. Lessons to be learned about telling the ones you love how you feel….about living life to the fullest…

Possibly the sweetest love story I‘ve ever read , also sad

I don't know why I do this to myself. I love some authors in the moment I find them. And then I read their earlier work and I'm like Geesh! I'm glad this wasn't my first Kristin Harmel book. While I was intrigued by the history and the story of German POWs in America. I just did not love the book. It felt like fiction. I mean I get that it is historical fiction but it just felt... Too good to be true. #catsy #catsoflitsy

Kristin Harmel never lets me down. I need a reliable author after that last dumpster fire. Bring on something worthwhile.

Another one of my challenges this year is to read one book from each author that I have 3 or more books on my TBR. If I keep adding their books to my list I need to start reading them. This one features a modern story of a woman who receives a painting of her grandma with a strange note and a WWII German soldier who is at a POW camp in the US. This one was emotional. Looking forward to her other books! 4⭐️ book 34

When book and face meet, we‘re in for a treat! #bookfacefriday #noseinabook

Very mixed feelings about this one. I was into the storyline despite my internal eye rolling. The issue I really had was the writing style. It was a bit too melodramatic and maudlin for my taste. Also, Emily, despite being a journalist, wasn‘t a great researcher and really had a hard time linking facts together. She was a bit dim to me. Still, I blew through this and it held my interest despite my issues with the overall book.

Onze grootste prestatie is niet dat we nooit vallen, maar dat we elke keer als we vallen weer opstaan.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Oh this book!! I devoured it today and if I hadn't been at work, I would have been ugly crying at the end of it. Beautifully written, bringing the past to the present in such a way that you feel every emotion of the main character. Highly recommend!

Excited to start this today! I love books about family history and discovering one's genealogy! This sounds like a wonderful read. Anyone else read this? Thoughts?

Sneaking in some reading before work

Started this earlier... crushing right through it... unfortunately I have a meeting to prep for... no more reading tonight😩

I really liked this one, even though I was reaching for the tissues by the end of it! This was my first book by Harmel and I will definitely be reading more. I thought the historical thread of the story was really interesting, because I knew nothing about the German POW camps in the US. In the notes, the book Summer of My German Soldier is recommended as another look at this piece of history. Has anyone read that one?

Fans of historical fiction and family sagas will enjoy this book. It wasn't overly exciting, but I did enjoy the parallel storylines and the family story that spanned generations.

"Harmel's newest book, WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, is perhaps one of the most moving and powerful stories of all time, and potentially one of her best entries in the field thus far." - RT Book Reviews
