Welcome to Litsy!

Book 28-2021: This has been on my audible TBR for a long time. I finally got round to it thanks to #booked2021 #bakedgoodoncover. I found large parts of this book interesting & yet I kept drifting off & missing bits so I wasn‘t totally gripped. There was some beautiful descriptions of food, places and people and I will need to transcribe some recipes! I wish she had gone a little deeper on some of the family dynamics but still ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

Tonight has been Christmas pudding night so I‘ve had 7 hours of audio cooking and audio cleaning, listening to the tagged book. The pudding has a slightly unusual ingredient as I have run out of sherry, brandy and plain rum so coconut rum came to the rescue! Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the US 🦃 xx

Edging ever closer to completing #booked2021 with this for #bakedgoodsonthecover prompt and crossing another one off my audible TBR to boot! Starting this one in glorious November Sunshine on the beach ☀️

My #DollarTree did not disappoint today!

This book was fine, but not great. The recipes in the book made me so hungry I could cry 😭 and I found myself writing a lot of them down. But I wasn‘t super engaged with the book and Nunn really needed an editor. #somanycommas

I didn‘t mean to read this book. It just sort of leapt into my hands while I was moving some nonfiction around at work. And I‘m so glad it found me! This is a lovely read about food, friends, family, and coming back from the edge of despair and substance abuse. Plus, it has some terrific-looking recipes.

About reuniting with an old friend:
“... it felt as if she had changed into a concentrated truer version of someone she‘d always been, with whatever possible false parts fallen away.” ❤️❤️❤️
Love this line, but I can‘t decide if I‘d like this to happen to me, or if I‘d want to be a bigger, more open version of myself.

I‘m not sure if I‘ve ever connected to the trials and tribulations of a family and one person‘s experiences navigating guilt and sadness within it as much as I did with this book. I loved these words, unexpectedly, in a way I couldn‘t have imagined.

Book 2 of #24in48 ✅ it was an interesting memoir & there were tons of good recipes. She got a little tedious at times though.

So good

I‘m not sure audio is the best format for this book because of the recipes, but I really enjoyed it. Southern cooking is my comfort food too and so listening to this both made me feel warmer and made me really really really hungry for pimento cheese.

i wanted to love it, but sometimes a bad copy editor ruins an otherwise good story. #toomanycommas #somanycommas

Just picked these up last night. I've been excited about reading the tagged book, puts me in mind of Eat, Pray, Love? (enjoyed book + movie)
