pickThis book is a pick for me - although not a standout. A quicker and enjoyable read about women and how they assisted with the radar work during WWII. Loved learning about how radar played a roll in WWII despite it being a new technology. It was a good blend of learning about how radar technology worked/was used with the other storylines going on. It is pretty easy to see where the book is going but still well written and an enjoyable read.
Picked this book up for my first #LiteraryCrew and it's the first book up in 2026. It is cold, and I feel absolutely no want to be productive today. Perfect day to curl up with a book and do nothing else....until the kids get bored with the Lego! 😆

pickExcellent historical fiction about women who operated radar in Hawaii after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and throughout WWII. Sometimes I need a nudge from buddy reads like #LiteraryCrew to get me to read a book that I‘ve got on my library wish list. Women‘s friendships play a key role in the story (along with a cat and her kittens). Found family has played an important role in my life so it‘s one of my favorite themes in fiction.
Oh my goodness!! This is my lovely #JolabokaflodSwap package. I'm super excited about it - look at that adorable cover!! However, there was both unwrapping and wrapping going on when I opened this, and apparently the box it came in got reused and now I have no idea where it is - which means I have no idea who sent this to me! 😂 @MaleficentBookDragon if you are able, could you tag my sender? And many thanks for hosting this swap, which I have ⬇

pick🌺 Last week I finished Hula by Jasmin ‘Iolani Hakes. I started it on the way to Maui but had to take a break to read a book club book. Set mostly in Honolulu, it‘s the generational story of 3 women and their struggle with colonialism as it relates in different ways to identity. The more I read the more I liked it.
