Welcome to Litsy!

Dual story lines here. Half of this book was an interesting historical story. The other half was pure teenage angst. I hate teenage angst.🤬

Library sale haul! Got ALL this for $12! And those Bernard Cornwell Sharpe books - such beautiful editions! *sigh*

I really appreciated reading about the horrors and hardships the Okinawans endured during WWII. I had no idea how terrible the whole situation was for them. However, I found characters in Luz‘s time to not be well fleshed out (poor Jake, king of info dumping), and they didn‘t sound all that realistic to me. Some descriptions were weird, as was the ending. Would be interested in some nonfiction books on this subject. #24in48

9.5 hours read in the first 24 of my first readathon...actually not too shabby. Probably will not make it to 24, but have a fun time and can‘t wait to see what I‘ll get through tomorrow! #24in48

A little more than 5 hours in, woo!Taking a break from Above the East China Sea and switching to audio—Tess of the d‘Urbervilles~ #24in48
