Welcome to Litsy!

History, romance, forgiveness, magic. A touching historical fiction novel with lovable, distinctive characters and a beautiful setting that is very much a part of the story. I didn‘t want this one to end. Bonus: I enjoyed learning about red honey. I‘d never heard of it until now! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 #litsylovereads #bookspin

This is such a good book. Japan has attacked Pearl Harbor and what happens to family and friends afterwards is sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes heartwarming. I really enjoyed the characters and was invested in what happened to them.

My biggest stack of books that have a #LocationInTitle are (no big surprise) Hawaii-based. Here are a dozen books titled with island, city, location & historical site names in the titles. I‘m sure I am forgetting some.🌺🥭🍍🥥🏄🏼‍♀️🏝🌋

For my #readhawaii I downloaded this gem! Super solid historical set during WWII. You‘ll fall in love with the characters and quickly flip the pages to see what happens next. #blqsummerreadingchallenge #redcover

A solid historical fiction. I enjoyed having it set in Hawaii during world war 2 and it brought to light the untold stories of the victims of war. A good book that I enjoyed very much!

The finished Baked Potato Soup from a Jamie Oliver recipe. I topped mine with sour cream, chives & crumbles of soft blue cheese. Really good even if the weather isn‘t quite fall-like here! Link to soup recipe in comments.

One of my current reads. The third book by this author who writes historical fiction based in Hawaii centered around WW2. My library e-book finally came in so I am trying to at least start it.

Another great book! Lana is a great character.

If you like historical novels with a WW2 theme, centering around human relationships and beautiful Hawaiian Island scenery then this one is for you, I loved it! 5 💫💫💫💫💫

#FebruaryFeels #WarIsHell

I read A LOT of WWII fiction & non-fiction & I especially like books set here in the islands I call home. These dozen books from my stacks are all set or partially set in Hawaii during WWII & tell the tales, both real & fictionalized, of the hell of war—before, during & it‘s aftermath. The tagged book is an upcoming novel from a Big Island author I enjoy—it‘s her third & I am looking forward to the release in May.
