Welcome to Litsy!

This was a very interesting story of a Jewish passport forger in Nazi Berlin. It is well written, so well that sometimes the funny and eventful story covered the terror of being captured. I‘m torn between this is a good thing and the necessary seriousness is missing.

Some tougher reading after Christmas. It is written in a flowing style so far.

A co-worker gifted this book to me yesterday. I admire Corrie Ten Boom‘s courage to survive & forgive. Her love for Jesus has inspired me since childhood. Starbucks holiday drinks were released today ~ my favorite Caramel Brûlée Latte made with oat milk in my personal cup. #LitsyLoveBingo

Essential and enlightening history. Great read for Women‘s History Month.

The Extraordinary Women who helped win World War 11

I liked the author‘s narration a better than the many primary source quotes he used to illustrate (and expand on) the things he was talking about. Partly, that may have been the smaller font of the quotes vs my eyes! I sometimes skimmed over some of those quotes. But the amount of detail and research that went into this is amazing. Very much like Cornelius Ryan‘s account of D-Day as a whole (published in 1959).

This book damn near killed me. 😭

I read a lot of tough books but this account from a Holocaust child survivor was one of the hardest to take. It's real and raw and utterly heartbreaking.

Take your time and take lots of breaks but I highly recommend

I don't think there has ever been a more powerful paragraph.....

Just yesterday I was so proud of myself getting ready to get all my in progress reads finished and what do I do? Reward myself with two new books....and start one immediately 🤦‍♀️

Is there a support group for this because I think I need it? 🤣
