Welcome to Litsy!

Read for IRL book club, otherwise would have never picked up this WWI historical fiction novel. Only 6 hr audiobook, so I‘m not out much but it‘s forgettable and this storyline is overdone. American woman goes to help war effort abroad, loses herself in the process. I didn‘t enjoy it, but I‘ve read worse. Plus, I‘m not the reader for this: so-so.

Anita Shreve gets it sometimes.

An American woman is found at a London park dressed in a French VAD(Voluntary Aid Detachment)uniform. She is extremely weak and has lost her memory. Stella discovers that her life is complicated. Themes: the rights of women, mental health, marriage. With the back drop of World War I, the setting moves from Europe to America and back. Ultimately, a story of memory and love.
Scored low in believability, but high in fierce woman category. #bookclub

New audiobook. Chosen by IRL Book Club.

Does anyone else stress buy? I am definitely not reading enough to justify another kobo purchase and I have a real urge to hit up the used bookstore and buy all of their 1980s horror paperbacks 😬

This is a good one. It's about shell shock and WWI.

Dean Martin's book haul. He's a literary cat, for sure. This is his final book haul for the year because his spending is out of control (blame it on the cat). @Barb1

Instantly engaging. Reading in Ro's room as he falls asleep can be dangerous; I fall asleep or hang out too long.
