Welcome to Litsy!

My daughter & I visited Half Price Books. I found a book for my #FallingforFallSwap and the tagged for myself.

I was a little bored at the beginning but in the end I enjoyed this one a lot.

Read for my family‘s book club

Read in May- Inspired in the life and events around Catherine Dior during the end of WWII. I found this one so interesting, it motivated me to read about the Dior‘s family and Catherine involvement in the resistance movement. At the end, the author mention which characters were fictional or not. I thought about those sad moments in history but also made me think about what Ukraine is living now, in this present war😢 ⬇️

Starting my #doublebookspin and it‘s an #ouabc book, which means gifts! @TheAromaofBooks

22 #31 I‘m having a little trouble finding books that I wanna read. Like a dry spell. I enjoyed this one though. I am anxiously awaiting Adriana Trigiani‘s latest.

Another WW11 story in a crowded field. This offering telling the stories of Gabby and Yvette, 2 French sisters from Paris. Living in occupied France, each sister embarks on a separate journey to assist the underground French Resistance. Even though the sisters live together they seem to be largely unaware of each other‘s activities. A tale that builds in excitement and interest as the pages go by. A heartfelt addition to the genre.

Mixed feels. Loved the sisters and how they fought in their own way. Had trouble how the story progressed. Yvette and Gabby were thrown into the fight to get Nazis out of Paris in unconventionally. As historic fiction, I was hoping for more on Catherine Dior -as the book said it was about her part in the war. Alas, wasn‘t much Dior besides getting the sisters into the resistance. Suspense was fleeting so it didn‘t feel like much

I wanted to ❤️ this book bc I gravitate toward stories steeped in historical fiction & defiant women. However, this 📖 felt like historical fiction on a diet - like fat free potato chips. The bag says it contains chips, but the deliciousness is missing and all you have is a stomach ache. While it was interesting learning about Catherine Dior as part of the WWII French Resistance, that part of the plot was too surface-level to save the book.

“Courage, my dear.” Reading my first #onceuponabookclub book.

Wow this one came in quick - considering the previous was real late
The story is inspired by the real-life bravery of Catherine Dior, sister of the fashion designer and a heroine of World War II France. These two sisters take their fight to the Nazis differently. They find together that courage comes in many forms.
Sounds like a very interesting spy type novel between sisters. But also fashion.

HAPPY PUB DAY!!

SISTERS OF THE RESISTANCE is a fascinating account that keeps you on edge.

Ms. Wells‘ writing keeps the reader interested with the tension of the war and the opportunity to hear about the fashions of Christian Dior.

I love a good WWII Resistance novel, and that's exactly what I got. Now I'm going to have to do more digging on Catherine Dior - I can't believe I didn't know more about her before this! #historicalfiction
