Welcome to Litsy!

I rarely bail on books and never on book club books but I've broken that rule. This could have been good but the writing WAS so SO dull. I put it down thinking I'd come back to it, then I realised I was going to miss book club and that was it - bailed. I will, however, watch the Netflix doco which I've heard good things about and has the benefit of also show casing her superb music.

I don't know how to describe my feelings on this book. It didn't draw me in like I hoped it would. It didn't hold my attention. And it didn't increase my respect for Nina Simone. And I don't know if the reason for that is the writing style. Or the lack of insight. All the same I will still love listening to this incredibly talented musician.

Having a read in bed this Easter Monday morning. You can't see my book because its on my phone.

#bookandbreakfast. Avo, cheese and egg on an English muffin. Nice start to the day.

We've been having something of an Indian summer here in my little bit of Australia, with March being hotter than dec, Jan and feb. Today I took the girls to our lakeside park where they played and I lay on the picnic rug reading and watching (and listening to) the galahs swooping in and out of the trees. It really was very peaceful. (PS the photo is from Wikipedia, I didn't thing to take one myself)

This is my latest book club read. I don't know a lot about Nina Simone so I'm looking forward to diving into a whole other world.

Fascinating look at a complex woman.

All my songs, the important ones, have razor cuts, I call them, at the end. I cut you, I make you think...

Africa is Not a Country....
