Welcome to Litsy!

I'm really enjoying this book. It's a very honest account of what it's like to be undocumented in the U.S.

Have you heard of the 1946 Rescission act? During WW2, Filipino citizens were promised $3 billion in direct benefits for helping thr U.S. fight Japan. In 1946, however, Truman signed a bill that rescinded those benefits and paid a lump sum of $200 billion to the Filipino government instead. I never learned about this in school.

You may enjoy this if you can read another WWII story! This is on the Eastern Front- the Philippines.
The story is very good, the epilogue great, and so far the authors' notes are incredible!
Two of these authors are going to be at an upcoming book event in San Diego: #AdventuresByTheBooks #SuperBookFour
I‘m trying to read some of the authors‘ backlists before I go.

Finishing up When We Had Wings
2/16/2023 in San Diego, At #AdventuresByTheBook #SuperBookFour

23 #1 I‘ve set my reading goal for the year at only 100. I‘m considering going back to school … maybe. If I do there will be a lot less time for pleasure reading. I feel like my 2022 reads were not great. For the most part. I‘m starting out strong with this one for 2023!

Beautiful artwork, interesting story, set in a place I don't often read about. Gorgeous graphic novel.

Honorable mention for Nella Larsen's Passing . I watched the movie last night with friends.

What these three women (military nurses) has to go through was unreal! This book gave the perspective of WW2 from the South Pacific. I found it interesting to hear the 3 different perspectives of the friends. Each perspective was written by a separate author. A big thank you to my bookclub, #ReadWithSharon, for selecting this book for the November 2022 read! I‘m looking forward to our discussion with the authors.

Gorgeous selection of short stories, all intriguing, all intelligently crafted. Excellent debut and as for me, will pick up a hardcover copy. It‘s that good.

Review is up! Great book!
