Welcome to Litsy!

Big Bad Wolf came to Taiwan for the first time. Most people came for kids' books and here are all I got. Why is it that they are able to sell books at such a low price?

Heartbreaking and horrifying but should be read by every woman. It‘s a shame that this book and stories of these women are not known more. The killing, even to the very end, even after Hitler is dead and they are surrounded by the Russians and Allies, is something I will never understand.
There is no comparison to what happened to them.
Makes me proud and scared(because it it a mans world most of the time) to be a woman.

Big bookmail today! And so many pretty HBs too! Four of these are arcs I‘ve received for review but the end two are just treats, because. 💛 Ursula Flight is an arc I won on Readers First. The other three are from Allison and Busby- fast becoming a favourite publisher for all the historical fiction!

This is a horrific and vivid account, but so well done. I am in awe of these women. This is such an important piece of women‘s history. Sarah Helm wrote a thoroughly engrossing book about a nearly unimaginable crime committed by so many. Yes, it is hard to read, but this should be required reading.

Bought this and a mystery from the bargain table. And then I got home to find my 20% Off coupons in the mail. Guess I'll have to sacrifice and browse the bookstore again. 😃

Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay.

Never forget. Never say it can't happen again. 🌹✡️

Here are some nonfiction books about the brave survivors and resistors during the Holocaust. It's some of the most harrowing stuff you will ever read, but incredibly important.

This is my current #slowread I started it in December and am about 40% of the way through. It's so good but very dense and hard to read in big chunks.

Have been working on this book for a while. It is excellent, but difficult to read/process. Have to step away from it periodically and come back once I've steeled myself a bit.

My current read. I thought it might be a little dark for Christmas time but it is more upfront and historical. And REALLY interesting. Going much faster than I thought it would.

66 books isn't too bad, when most of them were nonfiction and a certain son of mine became more mobile and more vocal 😅 Books and Litsy definitely helped keep me from completely losing it in 2016.

This book will haunt you in a way where you want to hold your loved ones tightly. You will learn about the other groups of prisoners who were targeted by the Third Reich, groups that are usually ignored by mainstream historians. It's a book that everyone needs to read, especially because of the current political climate. Read it. Now.

And it seems that we haven't learned from the past...

Just a little bedtime reading for my future bibliophile.

Front porches were made for reading. 💖

Only a third of the way through and this is already up there on the best history books I've ever read.

This book is really hard to review. It took me a number of weeks to get through for many reasons. Overall, I think everyone should read this. It's not easy subject material, but it is so important for us to remember.

An amazing book. Everyone could and should read it.
