Welcome to Litsy!

My dad was the biggest pain in the a$$ and the most fun all rolled into one. He had all the toys….Harleys, snowmobiles,boats, campers and airplanes. I miss our talks late into the night solving all the world‘s problems and just talking about life. I miss card games at holidays, his quick wit and hearing him laugh.

Tagging anyone who wants to share their memories

Family, war, dementia...a daughter reconstructs her father's wartime experiences with the elite special operations unit called the Jedburghs, through diaries, letters, newspaper stories, photos, and interviews just as her ailing father begins to lose his memories. Compelling and quite moving and I'm just 90 pages into the book.

Update: I made it to the halfway mark and I loved it for much of the read but then lost steam. My bad?

Not what I expected but enjoyable just the same - Keggie Carew's look at her father's life when he starts losing his past to dementia. Full review at doddyaboutbooks.wordpress.com, with thanks to Netgalley and Randomhouse UK.

I should have been catching up on reading today, but the mountains called instead. #soznotsoz
