Welcome to Litsy!

I love a memoir. This one was good. Quick read that I picked up from the library. It wasn‘t a deep dive into celebrity gossip like it could have been but I think that was intentional based on the title. I liked the first half the best and there were a few topics I wish she spent more time diving deeper into but I understood the tone and I think she left it open to write the juicier book of a costar one day.

This is a quick-read memoir from a familiar Hollywood face . . . even if you can‘t remember her name. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#i-dont-know-what-you-know-me-from-co...

I always enjoy Judy Greer when I see her in a movie or show. In this memoir, she has 3 sections that cover her childhood, career, & personal life. I found it witty and interesting. She doesn‘t go into details about her past movies or co-stars, if you‘re expecting that.

This week has been so busy at work, then today was nuts (see earlier post). I had forgotten about the #littlechristmasswap until I saw other posts. I‘m really excited to get chocolate I‘ve been enjoying most this season & hot chocolate mix. The 2 books are great—I can‘t get the tagged on audio at the library, so I‘m happy to have a copy. Thank you, Ashley! @EclecticBookLover @bookish_wookish

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This title‘s accuracy makes me chuckle. I first saw Greer in The Wedding Planner, which I‘ve seen a gazillion times, but I‘m not gonna lie, I had to IMDB her. She‘s Ant-Man‘s ex-wife, y‘all. I *just* watched those movies in the last few months. 😅 This memoir felt intentionally light. I loved the blue rain jacket story most. Greer seems like a normal, pretty cool person; the perpetual co-star.

Some of what appeals to me in Greer's acting also comes across in her writing. She's funny, sweet, & a bit quirky. As she points out herself, people enjoy her & her acting b/c her "normality" (if there is such a thing) is so relatable. This is one of few times she becomes that reflective. Most of this is surface-level stories: a thing she did or that happened to her. While it was funny & interesting, I would've liked more of the introspection.

Quick and fun read. I was always a fan of hers but reading about her rescue doggie and how much love and care she gave this big sweet guy made me cry like a baby.

This was fine. I'm glad I listened to it bc I like Greer very much but she writes like my blog posts which is kind of annoying long term. Solid quick enjoyment.

I had some languishing Audible credits...

I don't know where I got this from... but this is for us 😍

Happy Monday!

Reading this was like having an epic conversation with your best friend. Funny (though I didn't lol), interesting, and filled with hard-won advice, I thoroughly I enjoyed this book!
Book #7 for the #Readathon. My eyes are crossing and my arms are killing me, so it's time for bed for me. It sure how many hours total. I've read, but I've been up for 23 hours now and I'm feeling a little nuts. Off to Bedfordshire! @DeweysReadathon

Still hanging in at 3 AM! I'm almost halfway through this memoir by Judy Greer (nothing earth-shattering, but it's easy and friendly), and enjoying some (weird looking) Bob's Burgers after eating some taco dip.
My eyes are starting to blur a little (oh yeah, I should probably use my 👓), but I'm doing okay otherwise. #readathon @DeweysReadathon

A crazy afternoon here in Wisconsin for the last day of #litsypartyofone. It's 70 degrees, I'm doing mounds of laundry, and in-between trips to the basement I'm reading this memoir by Judy Greer and watching these two kids sleep. I love them so much it's crazy!

Listen, if I ran in to Judy Greer I would KNOW what I know her from. I adore her.

Judy Greer's #memoir reads best if immediately followed by a viewing of 13 Going on 30

My favorite parts of her manifesto/mission statement:
"Keep your life simple and stylish and earnest

Live light, travel light, and be light

Make everyone you love feel loved

Go to the movies, go to the library, go to the park"

Judy Greer is fantastic! Her book sadly, for me, was very mediocre... I may have bailed if I wasn't listening to the audiobook.
