Welcome to Litsy!

First read this 30 years ago at school. A classic, and a stark reminder that the war wasn‘t just fought in Europe.

Took me a while, but here it is. My #bookerdozen (The order was chosen by pic-collage. 😁)

Thank @Liz_M for the prompt and @vivastory for the inspirational. I‘ll list the titles in comments

This has been a popular novel, but I thought it was just okay. It wasn't bad, I was just hoping for a little bit more.

Short little audio only about 2 1/2 hours long.
Interesting little story about the nuclear bombing in Japan through a kids eye's 🤔
First book down for #spookoweenreadathon

"Jim glanced at the people around him, the clerks and the coolies and peasant women, well aware of what they were thinking. One day China would punish the rest of the world, and take a frightening revenge."

Amazing story of WW2 in China, seen through the eyes of a boy called Jim. Interesting in that theres often a war in Jims mind about whos side hes on, who he should trust, where he should go, is the war actually over? He sees so much and understands so little, like any child would in wartime, and yet his desire to survive is seemingly neverending.

“I learned a new word today: atom bomb. It was like a white light in the sky, like God taking a photograph.”

A very young Christian Bale. Have seen some portions of the movie, but have never read the book.

#Octoberphotochallenge #tarottakeover #thesun saw the movie , have not read the book though I like JG Ballard.Card from the Hobbit tarot deck.

J. G. Ballard went #missing from his parents during the invasion of China by Japan during World War II. His odyssey of survival is truly incredible.

Also I always felt like there was a finger #missing on the cover. Like a cartoon character was holding the plane or something.

And check out baby Christian Bale playing Jim Ballard on the cover of the movie! #MayBookFlowers

And yet another book that's been languishing on the TBR shelf for years. #Sunshine #MayBookFlowers

Picked up a bunch of books from the library this afternoon.
