Welcome to Litsy!

Wouldn‘t you think a book titled A Ration Book Christmas” would primarily be, I don‘t know, about Christmas?! The word Christmas is literally not even mentioned until at least 25% in, and this as a distant thing coming up months later, and the only part actually about Christmas was one chapter at the end where they eat dinner together. Good WW2 London Blitz story, bad Christmas story. 🌟🌟🌟 #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021

I‘m excited to participate in another readathon! The #anywayyoureadathon sounds perfect. My goal will be to finish the tagged book (I‘m at like 20% and we aren‘t even close to Christmas yet 🤨) as well as at least one of the audiobooks I have lined up for the next few weeks. Let‘s see what happens!

This is a lovely, heartwarming and nostalgic story. A vividly told tale, so much so I felt transported back in time. There is a real sense of time and place. The courage and tenacity of people during such a tough and tumultuous era are very well depicted. I was totally immersed in the story and invested in the lives of the families involved. It‘s a little predictable but even so it‘s such an enjoyable, pleasure to read!

A truly lovely read with captivating characters and depictions of London during the Blitz that are so realistic, it's almost like you are experiencing it with the characters.
An absolute treat .... just in time for Christmas 😊
