Welcome to Litsy!

My July pick for #12BooksOf2025

I love a Pat Conroy on audio at the beach and this is just as good as his more famous books. His characters and settings are fantastic.

It‘s been several years since I read Code Talkers, but it is still one of my favorite historical fiction books set during WWII. Grenade is about the Battle of Okinawa. The books on the right are nonfiction for middle grade readers.

Sorry to say I have not read this book. I did see the movie but I have no doubt that it doesn't compare to the book.

I picked this book up for the #dogtags prompt in #ISpyBingo
Glad I did, it's excellent so far and also filled a #WickedWords prompt.

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. 😢

Maybe when I was sick for what feels like the millionth time this year was not the best time to start a 600 page novel about the Vietnam war. I just can‘t see trying again.

I chose two books set mostly in the Pacific theater of WWII. It‘s been a long time since I read Code Talker, but I remember it being a fantastic book about the Navajo code talkers that served in the U.S. military. Grenade is told from the alternating perspectives of a Japanese teenager and a young U.S. Marine during the Battle of Okinawa.
