Welcome to Litsy!

Love this book! Complex and deeply thought provoking with pulp fiction and spy master vibes. Sweet business.

last reading spot for the day #vietnam #botanicalgardens

I‘ve know this author for YA works but “Fallen Angels” doesn‘t really fit there. It‘s frequently challenged because of the adult-level language & realistic depiction of the Vietnam War.

I did a search, fun facts from AAVM: African American Veterans Monument (https://aavmwny.org/war/vietnam-war)

Okay yes and “fun” is rather a stretch. I‘ll have to post the full quote below BUT I would recommend this read. It‘s brutal as you‘d expect.

@KadaGul look what arrived in the post. Thanks so much for this over-the-top #fallcardswap!
I was confused about the return address, though. 😂

Now I‘m caught up with #HaikuADay ! Today‘s is inspired by the Lemongrass Chicken Bánh Mi sandwich I ate for lunch yesterday after a training. We totally stunk up the conference room but it was so worth it—I‘m still thinking about its perfection!

Best bites tend to be
Messy, smelly, glorious,
Bánh mì haunts my dreams

Another chilly, rainy day! I woke up early to get chores done, and now my goal is to finish this book. I'm working my way through my town's One Book list. Every year, they ask residents to submit a book for the community reading program. In August, we get to vote on the best one. 📚

It‘s a war story, but it‘s more than that. It‘s an exploration of whether being “neutral” and being “innocent” are the same thing, or even compatible. #bookspin and Q for #LitsyAtoZ @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader (photo is Saigon 1955 from the Internet.)

Hmmm. Who could I be thinking of. 🤔

My #bookspin and #doublespin for June. Maybe next month I‘ll pay closer attention to what I put at number 12! @TheAromaofBooks
