Welcome to Litsy!

Interesting tale! A bit slow in places but I enjoyed it!

I wanted to like this, I realllllllllly wanted to like this, but I just couldn‘t muster up the enthusiasm to keep going. I made it to page 91 before calling it quits. I hope if you have it on your TBR, you give it a shot, maybe I bailed too soon? Idk if my comment below is a true spoiler, but better safe than sorry. It actually might help you if you‘re on the fence #HailTheBail

My score is 11/100 and none of them stands out as a particular favorite. Yes, I‘m counting that I watched The Longest Day when I was eight years old, even though I slept through most of it. Perhaps I‘ll revisit it now that I understand the subject matter more! #TLT

Another book I never would have read if it weren‘t for a Litsy challenge. In this book a hobbyist searches for the missing people in #Palau - the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. I found this short book to be very interesting. #ReadingOceania24

Really good!

Graham does an impressive job of making the roles of Research and Analysis agents into a tale of adventure and danger. Her writing is lively and interesting. The only time it slowed to a stroll was during the explanation of the science being utilized to attempt the creation of the atomic bomb. Occasional bits of fiction seemed a bit out of place in this type of narrative. Amazing! Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance digital copy.

I‘ve gotten behind on posting my books on here. I‘ve been traveling. So the next few posts are a dump of the rest of September books. First I started with this Bletchley series. I really love reading about the women who worked at Bletchley.

WW2, the battle in the Pacific and the college football legends that gave their all to protect our freedoms. The fight on Okinawa and a football game during the war on an island that most of us have never heard of. Easy read compared to some that go into too much military strategy. They were just boys. 😢

I really need to read the book the miniseries is based on as I really enjoyed the miniseries.
