Welcome to Litsy!

I finally had time to watch The Gillers. If Anne Michaels writes as beautifully as she speaks, I‘m really going to have to read Held. I also really want to read Prairie Edge and Curiosities. The TBR just keeps getting bigger.

Listened over audio. I liked this one. Little bit more but still a long book. It was an interesting story about women spies. A good listen while doing puzzles & chores.

This was just a personal preference for me on why I didn‘t care for this one. It was a bit slow for me in my opinion. And the shift in time and characters was really hard to follow especially when trying to absorb the historical elements of the book and the setting. It was a great story. I just didn‘t love it like everyone else does.

Switchboard Soldiers follows the stories of 3 women serving in the US Army Signal Corps during WWI. The book is well researched- covering the trials and horrors of the war from the perspective of the women & their friends. The story rotates in 3 different perspectives, so it does get a little confusing at times with tracking all the characters. But, overall I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction!

Mollie moonbeam and I finished this one in bed 🛌 this morning 🌅 😂one of our favourite ❤️ places to read , anyway a so so read for me the author states at the back of the book at stages she didn‘t think she‘d finish 🙃 writing this ; and I can see why . It isn‘t bad far from it , it just lakes depth - there‘s a great story in there somewhere and I appreciate how hard the writing process is. So on Remembrance Day remembering our brave & fallen

This book isn‘t just historical fiction; it‘s a life-affirming tale that lingers long after you turn the final page. For anyone who loves stories of courage, love, and the triumph of the human spirit, A Light Beyond the Trenches is a must-read. Five glowing stars!
