Litsy

so-so

Cherry is Chief Nurse of an evacuation hospital on an island in the South Pacific. These early novels actively implore girls to study nursing so they can join the war effort. Cherry and her troop of nurses get bombed and treat soldiers close to the combat zone. It‘s a reminder how fierce and tenuous the war was with Japan. Unforgivable: the derogatory language about Japan. I can‘t wait until Cherry has adventures in civilian nursing. 🌴

TheBookHippie Just finished today 😬😳🤯 I‘m ready to move on to the next one whew.. 1mo

TheBookHippie Wait. This came out before WWII ended or no? 1mo

catiewithac @TheBookHippie yes this was published in 1944. She‘s a flight nurse next and then a veterans nurse. So the end of the war is coming up! 1mo

TheBookHippie @catiewithac I‘m looking forward to more. I‘m prepared now!!! 🤭😳 (edited) 1mo

Amiable Such nostalgia! My sister loved these books when we were kids and found a box of them in our grandma‘s attic. 1mo

Cherry Ames, Army Nurse | Helen Wells

pick

Sorry for being MIA on Litsy. I‘ve been busy with work and reading. Cherry joins the army in book 3 of the series. She survives basic training and gets deployed to Central America. She blindly trusts the “miracles” of science and medicine which probably led to toxic chemicals being used to combat malaria. If only public health work were that simple…

Cherry Ames, Senior Nurse | Helen Wells

This was a reread for me in my quest to read the entire Cherry Ames series in order. It surprised me how much I forgot! I only remembered the exciting stolen penicillin plot, but the heart of the novel is Cherry‘s love of all things nursing. She gets a taste of ward management, OR, L&D, and PACU. 💊

dabbe I'll have to find a way to fit her in after Nancy Drew! 🤩😍😘 3mo

iread2much Those look like a lot of fun! 3mo

kwmg40 I remember enjoying reading these when I was young! 2mo

Cherry Ames Student Nurse: Book 1 | Helen Wells

pick

My father gave me some Cherry Ames novels after I became a nurse (10 years ago!!!). I‘ve decided to read them all in order for the first time. The first book in the series gave me all the feels about nursing fundamentals (bathing, vital signs, making beds, dressing changes, etc.). I got a little teary when Cherry earned her bandage scissors. I will read book 2 next month if anyone wants to join me! #CherryAmes #Nurse 🏥

Lucky in Love | Jill Shalvis

Oh my goodness, April is getting away from me!! It's already almost the third week of the month! Which means that it's time for our next #BacklistReadathon !!! I'm sticking with Jill Shalvis this month, hoping to read the next three books in the Lucky Harbor series. Feel free to join us this week by picking any author whose backlist you've been meaning to read!!

@Clwojick @LitsyEvents

Clwojick I‘m ready! I‘m reading James Patterson this month. Though at the rate he shoots them up, I could focus on him for years to come and I‘d still never catch up. 😂 13mo

LiseWorks Oh my, where have I been that I didn't know about this challenge 😳 😅 13mo

TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks - We just started this year, and have it the third week of every month. It's pretty low-key but it's been fun to set a small goal of tackling an author I always “mean to read soon“ 😂 13mo
