Welcome to Litsy!

4⭐️ Really liked the premise of the book and will be reading future books in the series; as a fan of the Maggie Hope series, it was very much in my wheelhouse. #2025 #wwii #mystery #historicalfiction

Last night‘s scores from my building‘s library.

This was my first James Michener book.It will not be my last.All I can say is WOW!It was a very long read-over 1K pages,small font and barely any margins.It‘s one of the best books I‘ve ever read.I learned so much about the history of Hawaii,beginning at its birth during the ice ages.To me,the moral of this story is that it takes all kinds to build a strong community,and it‘s better to work together than to fight. Something we can all learn from

5/5 ⭐️
Un racconto davvero coinvolgente che mi ha tenuta incollata alle pagine dall'inizio alla fine

And so it begins…. Grrrrr

The Silence of the Girls (Women of Troy 1), by Pat Barker (2018)

Premise: The last days of the Trojan War told through the eyes of Briseis, the enslaved former princess of a Trojan ally whose theft by Agamemnon set off the events of the *Iliad*.

Review: The Greek myth retelling fad got old very quickly for me, but this is one of the best. Cont.

An interesting historical fictional novel set in the 18th century in China. The characters were quite interesting. The explanations of many different aspects of life, such as religion. I liked the main character Li Du, was a librarian and very intelligent. He has wisdom to share. 4/5⭐️

3.7 While I enjoyed the book, some things just didn't work for me. Everyone knows that Thomas Cornwell played a huge part in Henry VIII's rule. Mantel does a good job of bringing this time period to life. The thing that bothered me was that something in the book would happen, and she would go back and explain it with fact. I did the audiobook instead of reading the book, so that may have been part of the problem. I know that sometimes, ⬇️
