Welcome to Litsy!

Liked this one! Went into it with zero expectations. I thought the first half was really strong & liked reading/learning about Japanese culture and the various temples. The ending was a bit rushed but still overall a satisfying read.This is my "P" for #LitsyAtoZ debut for #readharder , #booksetinAsia for @BetterWorldBooks challenge and #bookinvolvingtravel for#popsugar

Regardless of personal beliefs, this is a beautiful, haunting, provocative novel in several ways ~ What does it mean to believe, to have faith, to hold ground on what matters and makes you 'you'? ~ September Photo Challenge catch-up ~ #Day10 #BookSetInAsia #bookphotochallenge

No picture today because I had borrow the book from my college professor. One of the best Sci fi dystopian novels I've ever read. A futuristic setting that doesn't take more than a squint to see as a possibility and a gripping tale. I love how much this book made me think especially because of the focus on food supply and energy. #booksetinasia #somethingforsept

I haven't read this yet, but I bought it at a library sale and it fits the #setinasia #booksetinasia theme taking place in South Korea. The sheet in the background is one my mother in law brought from China when she visited us to meet her grandson, so it kind of fits the theme in a nonbookish way. #somethingforsept #septemberphotochallenge

Wild Swans was absolutely my favourite book of 2002. Read most of it on a train to Kunming, China and was enthralled. Maybe should have looked up once in a while to take in the landscape 😳#booksetinasia #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept @RealLifeReading

As a family hides in the basement during WWII, it is interesting to learn Filipino folktales. I would not have read this has it not been for the Read Harder Challenge this year. #booksetinasia #somethingforsept @RealLifeReading @TheSpinecrackersBookClub @bookriot

I think I've mentioned this book in the past. I cannot suggest it enough if you are a WWII buff. The book moved me. When I was sent to the Philippines for work it amazed me to tour Bataan. Call me crazy but I swear I could feel some of the lost souls. #booksetinasia #somethingforsept @RealLifeReading @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

#somethingforsept #booksetinasia I have not read this one yet. Picked it up on a road-trip at McKay's in Nashville.

I'm cheating today because technically this is not a #booksetinasia but rather Eurasia....it's all I could find do #somethingforsept #septemberphotochallenge Also, I'm heading out this morning to Walk the Mackinac Island 8 Mile race so...if you do t hear from me again...send a search party 😂
