Welcome to Litsy!

This is a concise history of Pearl Harbor which includes many of the “left out” bits. It varies between text and graphic formats making it less intimidating. At first the digressions to give context felt a bit distracting, then I found them to be a bit of a break from the true sorrow being described. I will recommend this to young patrons! #nonfictionovember

“I tiptoed, pranced, and flirted with waves. Just we three and empty beach. Nothing stirring.“

This poem reminds me of the beach a lot and I love the beach myself. The wording used to describe the scenery describes how I would like to be on the beach. Describes how the waves look from the shore and the environment overall at the beach with no one around except the characters talked about in the poem.

I picked the poem The Beach within On the Horizon. This poem was short but detailed. It has a smooth way with the words and has a lot of meaning behind the words written. It paints a simple image in your head as you read the poem to get a feel for where it is taking place.

“Six hours back. No talk, still, None. Except, My god. What have we done?“

I really liked this book. It has many different poems all about the second world war. Most of them are back and forth between perspectives. I read the poem called “Names“. It is about the code name of the bomb and the names of the pilot and crew on the plane. It uses different rhyming words ad the end of each sentence and flows with good rhythm. The poem was really good but especially the end which made me feel a gut wrenching feeling.

This is a big thick brick and at times, between the shoot outs, blood gore and subterfuge, there are yawn moments. However, you have to know what you‘re getting into. If you‘re looking for tough talk and fist to cuffs with an intriguing and intricate conspiracy, Ellroy is hard to beat.

Mina Tagawa and her family are sent to internment camp in 1942. They are understandably #UpInArms over their loss of freedom and liberty, but it‘s hard to voice that when machine guns are pointed at you…

I am SO behind on reviews!! So we‘ll see how much I can catch up on.

This one has Lane suffering from PTSD. She‘s a trainer in Scotland and is told to take some leave. Her friend gets sick and some of her dance partners get sick and die. So, Lane works with MI5 to solve the mystery.

This book also touched on Pearl Harbor. Idk how true the before was, but it had me so stressed out. Especially since I‘ve been there and know what happened.
