Love, Janis | Litsy

As many of you know I lost someone dear to meā€”Janice Williamsā€”this weekend. She lived a rich life; she roomed with Janis Joplin at UT and remembered music jams with Kris Kristofferson. Her stories were fun; I‘m sure she learned little at UT. Fortunately she was smart. We met in her golden years when she became my legal secretary. No one was more loyal. We loved each other‘s company; talked books, crafted together. Sadly I don‘t have a pic ā¬‡ļø¸

Texreader So this pic of her roommate in college will have to do. š¤— Maybe she‘s finally checking her Litsy account in heaven! Thanks everyone for your kind words today. Very appreciated. 5y

Texreader @Crazeedi Her first husband was an orchestra conductor & she traveled the world with him. They lived in west Germany and she recalled to me when she saw the Berlin Wall but didn‘t dare try to cross no man‘s land. She crocheted for me, tried to teach my daughter, & I introduced her to scrapbooking. She even became close to my mom, which terrifies me because she‘s close in age. Thanks for your sweet thoughts. 5y

Texreader @Prairiegirl_reading @CBee @robinb @JoScho @MoonWitch94 @Slajaunie @CindyMyLifeIsLit @Graywacke @Eyelit @BarbaraBB @mrp27 @Eggs @CarolynM Thank you sweet Litten friends. Your kind thoughts and prayers and hugs mean the world to me. Janice was a special person close to my whole family and she especially became friends with my mom, too. She lived a full life and died peacefully. What more can we ask but a bit more time, if only to say ā€I love youā€¯? 5y

Laura gives a great perspective into the life of her sister Janis. This is another nonfiction that had a very readable flow to it. I enjoyed this read a lot and am eagerly awaiting the moment that I find the time to read Buried Alive, another nonfiction about Janis Joplin.

#wrapups for #tometopple and #nonfictionnovember

I read Jackie After Jack by Christopher Andersen and about 100 pages of Love, Janis by Laura Joplin.

Still have about 200 pages of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix left which I‘m currently trying to finish before getting back into Love, Janis.

As a teenager of the 90s, I read this book as I listened to Janis' music. Although, the book is not in her words, her sister is the next best thing. I've read and re-read the book several times over the last 20 years and each time, I'm transported back in time with Janis.
