Welcome to Litsy!

My score is 11/100 and none of them stands out as a particular favorite. Yes, I‘m counting that I watched The Longest Day when I was eight years old, even though I slept through most of it. Perhaps I‘ll revisit it now that I understand the subject matter more! #TLT

Another book I never would have read if it weren‘t for a Litsy challenge. In this book a hobbyist searches for the missing people in #Palau - the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. I found this short book to be very interesting. #ReadingOceania24

I‘ve gotten behind on posting my books on here. I‘ve been traveling. So the next few posts are a dump of the rest of September books. First I started with this Bletchley series. I really love reading about the women who worked at Bletchley.

I really need to read the book the miniseries is based on as I really enjoyed the miniseries.

1. The Ardennes forest.
2. Tagged - fun fact, Stephen Ambrose grew up in Whitewater and graduated from the Highschool my parents (and all of my aunts, uncles and cousins) later attended and an aunt now teacher in the building which is now a middle school.

This non-fiction book is about the presence of the Associated Press (AP) in Berlin prior to and during WW 2. As soon as Hitler took power and the Nazi propaganda machine started working, legitimate, truthful reporting became scarce. Nazi censors dictated what stories were sent out and what they could contain. This was also true for photos. AP stayed in Berlin until the US entered the war. This book will make you think about freedom.

For #weeklyfavorites, I‘m sharing this fashion history book that I read. This is an ARC that I was approved for. It‘s about the history of fashion during WWII. I don‘t follow fashion or know anything about it but I like seeing what the musicians on music award shows are wearing. However, this book gave me a different perspective that I wouldn‘t normally get from watching those award shows on TV and I found it very interesting.

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

I finished reading the tagged book yesterday while coloring this picture. It‘s a work in progress but I‘m almost finished with it. I still haven‘t written my book review yet. I was busy last night and I didn‘t have time to write it.

I‘ve been making more progress in this book. I listened to some of it this afternoon while I was coloring and then I just listened to another chapter tonight after I got done taking a shower. It bothered me at first that I don‘t have pictures of the fashion to look at but it‘s not bothering me anymore. I‘ve accepted it. Maybe I just needed to color a picture while listening to the audiobook so I feel like I have something to look at.
