Welcome to Litsy!

I forgot my Kindle and a book at home. I ran by Mardel's Christian Store and grabbed a book. Now I'm going to read before my doctor appointment.

28 books in June! 🤯 There was a few short books, but I was really trying to catch up on some of my challenges.

My favorite (non-reread) for June was The Nightingale! It was soo good, and the copy I have is gorgeous!

Quite possibly the most moving books I‘ve ever read- and I‘ve read quite a few. This is a historical fiction book following two brave sisters during wwii who not only ensured their survival, but the survival of others. To call them brave is an understatement. Read it.

5✨ I absolutely love Hannah‘s storytelling, and this is only the second book I‘ve read! This historical fiction gutted me with the raw emotion based on true events happening in WW2 in France. It followed two sisters and their fight to do the right thing when war caused the horrible events that occurred. While one sister helped soldiers, the other helped her Jewish friends. It provided different perspectives that would have been seen by the women.

This is a really dark, but really good world war 2 book. The Germans are ruthless, and she has to protect France with her comrades and find her mother. She has lovers and has to decide who to spend her life with. Genevieve has quality lovers and family, but the war makes her worry about losing them. She is not weak, but she isn‘t immortal. She is brave, but she also suffers. I loved this book.

Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after ballet. Grand total 🟰 $17. It was another fabulous day at my ballet school‘s Summer Intensive. Pilates to warm up then a repertoire class learning the Aurora wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty followed by a mindfulness session. Then home for a wine and stretch. I‘m pretty sore.

This book the human side of the war and Nazis so brilliantly. Real personal stories that highlight the struggles of the women who were the real victims and hero‘s in the war. Excellent!
