With November being the month of Rememberance Day and the birthday month for the US Marine Corps (which anyone who knows me knows I have a huge affinity for), I figured this month my reading would be devoted to the Marines. Novembers Reading included: 1. Fields of Fire by James Webb (1978) 2. With the Old Breed by Eugene B. Sledge (1981) 3. Helmet for my Pillow by Robert Leckie (1957) 4. On Infantry: Revised Edition 🇨🇦 by John A. English and Bruce I.

I'll make a short work of this. 'How We Disappeared' A 13 year old Kevin is charged with the mission to find the truth about his family's past. The reason? His dying grandmother tells him a secret she almost carries to the grave. At the end of the spectrum is Wang Di, a survivor of the Japanese occupation of Singapore. If you read enough books or watch dramas, you can predict where this is going. The arc of this story encompasses the plight of comfort girls who were held captive, mistreated (putting it mildly) and later abandoned in the face of defeat. I was slightly impatient with the book for having figured out the plot too early and because I had already read a couple of books dealing with the occupation earlier. But that's on me. Is the book well-written? Yes. The characters? Well-formed. The storyline? Fleshed out. It punches all the right spots. If this is your first read about the atrocities committed during the Japanese occupation of Malaysia, Singapore and the region- trigger warning. If you want more material on the occupation: 1. The Rape of Nanking 2.

Here is what I *hope* to get to this year! What’s on your list for this year? I have the bad habit of making a list too long to manage. Right out of college, @binasbookpage and I planned our TBR up to 2020… I’ll let you guess how that turned out. 😂😭 #bibliophile #bookstagram #tbrpile #books #readingchallenge2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSuS0DPIi9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Can't say that I like this book although I do enjoy the banters between the characters. . . #peoplewemeetonvacation #childhoodquotes #drawingmybook #readdaily #readingchallenge2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ-9zZIgVMn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Definitely late to getting October’s Reading post up; but between giving my candidates a lot of attention, field time, and general forgetfulness (oops), I’m finally getting it up! October’s books consisted of the following: Tim O’Brien’s classic war novel about his experiences in Vietnam characterized by the the things him and his comrades carried through the conflict, both physical and metaphorical; Robert Hienlien’s timeless sci-fi novel on militarism, coming of age, and civil society set in a distant future. Reading this book now that I’m older and supposedly wiser gave me an awesome new apperception of the role of the Non-Commissioned Officer in leadership settings; And finally Fredrik Backman’s newest novel in the Beartown saga where another tragedy strikes the already fateful town. #readingchallenge2022 #bookstagram #octoberreads #timobrien #thethingstheycarried #roberthienlein #starshiptroopers #fredrikbackman #thewinners #beartown (at Village of Port Williams) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFWe34JB8tcnTHd-ZfEzzptlhCJQjpY4-7DII0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

According to Daniel Pink, there are four kinds of regret.  Regret of Boldness (I should have taken that chance) Regret of Morals (I shouldn’t have behaved a certain way) Regret of Connections (I should have reached out) Regret of Foundations (I should have studied/saved money/not wasted time) Thousands of people from different countries and continents participated in this research and their regrets boiled down to these four areas.  Arthur Miller remarked once, “Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.”  With 35 years under my belt, I do have a few of mine. Most of them are the right ones. For now. There are a few that sting, though. I try to make my peace with them but peace has a price. The price is letting go.  ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’ by Rachel Joyce is about one man’s journey towards self-awareness and a dive into the life of ‘what could have been’. He had turned away from that life but a letter from a friend spurs him to hold himself accountable for all that happened and what role he had to play in that.  I loved this story and it will be a book that I will turn to often when needing affirmation that life has meaning. That to live, to love, to be-there are purposes to it all.  Nuggets of wisdom- ordinary stuff buried under the weight of dusty living- knocked me out with the simplicity of its style.  “People were buying milk, or filling their cars with petrol, or even posting letters. And what no one else knew was the appaling weight of the thing they were carrying inside. The inhuman effort it took sometimes to be normal, and a part of things that appeared both easy and everyday.” Or this one pointing at Harold’s wonder after he began walking-  “Life was very different when you walked through it. Between the gaps in the banks, the land rolled up and down, carved into checkered fields, and lined with ridges of hedging and trees. He had to stop and look.” I loved all the characters. Each was flawed in their own way and tried to make amends for it. This has been my best read for this quarter. And I am glad it is this. #theunlikelypilgrimageofharoldfry #marchreads #readingchallenge2022 #racheljoyce https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbu_ba6PgA4/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells" is a novel about a young woman who undergoes electroconvulsive therapy after the death of her twin brother in 1986 New York. When she awakes from the treatment, however, it is the year 1918... Andrew Sean Greer's reflective novel offers a fresh take on the theme of time travel, and is filled with charming characters and arresting philosophical insights. #reading #literature #books #novel #LiteraryFiction #TheImpossibleLivesOfGretaWells #AndrewSeanGreer #GretaWells #bookworm #BookReview #52BookChallenge #Book03of52 #ReadingChallenge #BookChallenge #52BookChallenge2022 #BookChallenge2022 #ReadingChallenge2022 #bookstagram #BookLover https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ694VjI336/?utm_medium=tumblr
