Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been an Ephron fan since I interviewed her in college a whole other lifetime ago. Counting blessings now for my new favorite lunch spot, negative results, & a little escape with an old friend.

I loved this book. It‘s a quick read filled with humor.

I‘m going to enjoy every minute of reading this book. It makes me smile.

3.5☆I Remember Nothing was Nora Ephron's final book. This followed I Feel Bad About My Neck which I enjoyed more. It was more upbeat I found. I dont know of course if Ephron knew she was ill when she wrote this collection but it definitely has a darker feel, more thoughts on death and dying but I still enjoyed this book. Her wit, cander and wisdom still shine through as she reflects on her life. It also prompted me to pick up her novel Heartburn.

I‘m a middle-aged lady who only ever has clean clothes on her body because she has a Post-it note that says “laundry” that she sticks on the cellar door. I‘m pretty sure I need stronger reading glasses now, too, but I‘ll never remember to buy them when I‘m out again because, well, my brain is cheese. It was nice to have Nora Ephron hang out with me for a little while. Not my favorite of hers, but I was looking for a pal and not a Pulitzer.

I‘m randomly picking older #NFNov books from my shelves in between library drops, and I‘m so glad I eeny-meeny-miney-moed this title. I really enjoyed reading Nora‘s take on life and aging. I was even entertained by her thoughts on what is now dated technology - email. I sure wish she was still walking in this world with us.

This was completely terrible. #38 #2019 Has anyone else read this?

Starting this next on #overdrive #currentlylistening

Borrowed too many books, didn‘t finish before it was taken back!!

12-14-18: My 65th finished book of 2018! This was a quick and joyful read. She never disappoints! 👍🏼📖#️⃣6️⃣5️⃣

Listening to Nora Ephron is always a good idea.

I loved reading about (and identifying with) Ephron‘s experiences of aging. Laugh out loud funny and reminded me why I love her movies so much.

Exactly what I needed as a companion to an afternoon of work/errands. Nora Ephron is undeniably honest about her personal failures (marriages or flopped movies), insecurities about not being able to remember anything (facts, details, faces), and she easily provides a refreshing & relatable burst of joy despite discussing subjects not usually considered humorous.

Will forever love her wit and her words. 🙌🏻💗☺️

This was a quickie. I have no strong feelings about it one way or another. [See comment for spoiler.]

I‘ve read this before but Nora always deserves a revisit.

“And I survived. My religion is Get Over It.”

I have a weakness for nonfiction essays, especially ones that make me feel like we‘re all human, it‘s cool, we all have shit. I enjoyed these snippets of Ephron‘s personal and professional life and her random observations on the modern world. Written in 2010, it‘s a little dated, but still relatable. Her audio narration is flawless; her humor perfectly deadpan.

This is painfully true. My dad has been sober almost 14 years.

It‘s a four day work week. I‘m relaxing on the couch with my kitties. My fiancé brought me a yummy bowl of DELICIOUS cheese puffs. And I‘m finishing up this lovely audiobook. Check and mate! #todayhasbeengood #whatabeauty

Laughing my way through this one right now. ♥️

Nora Ephron 💙 I like everything she writes. Enjoyed this collection. It‘s a quick read and was a good palate cleanser for me since the last few books I‘ve read were difficult to finish.

#bookhaul from my favorite independent bookstore in Chestertown, MD! I found it last time I visited Rock Hall, MD and had to go back and stock up this past weekend when I was in town again. You buy enough books and they throw in several bookmarks 😊

⭐️⭐️ Not the best I‘ve read of her books. It was ok.

Doing a little Litsy party of oneing.

I've gotta stop listening to audiobooks read by the author after they've passed away. It makes me too sad. 😭

I've really got to bail. Hits so close to home it hurts. Notice it's the large print edition? Besides my memory, I'm losing my hearing and vision, too. I thought I had a good sense of humor about it I mean who doesn't love Nora Ephron? Cuts too close to the bone for enjoyment for this old gal.

My sister bought me this book for my birthday but she couldn't "remember" if she bought it for me last year. Lol (she didn't) #tbr

I almost never abandon a book and I know Nora Ephron is adored. Maybe it was this book in particular that didn't work for me. I'll try another one when I get through more of my library holds. But this one filled me with indifference almost from the very start and there was no sign of that changing. I decided it was time to let go and move on to something else.

I absolutely love Nora Ephron. This collection, in particular, features several anecdotes that feel like a behind-the-scenes look of Mad Men era Madison Ave.

Also, I got this book and then spotted this matching table. Book photo fate? 😂

After Melville, I thought I'd read something lighter and funnier. Whew! That's when I turned to Nora and her wonderful essays. This time she talks about getting older, the ups and downs of going digital and the lessons we learn from our good and not so good relationships. Or at least that's what she can remember! 😊 And this book just happens to be pink and green. Too bad Nora left us so soon. #augustphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

Here's my August #tbr stack for @TheSpinecrackersBookClub #bookphoto challenge. But if I'm near a library or bookstore, this can change in a heartbeat! Also, I want to check out the graphic novel genre this month, so I'd love any suggestions for a newbie. One that won't curl my hair too much!! 😄

I loved this book. It's like having a chat with a good friend or Mom or sisters. It's funny, charming and relatable. What I will miss and what I won't miss had me laughing and crying. Good read. Thank you Nora!

The first essay caused me to snort and then laugh out loud over and over. It's a good thing I was listening to it while walking alone through the park. Knowing that Ephron died two years after this was published made her reflections on aging particularly poignant.

This book was fun and easy to listen to. It's a bit dated as you'd expect but that didn't detract from the smart humor. Nora Ephron reads it and she is funny and witty. A great audiobook experience.

LOVED.

Found this at a thrift store today. Super thrilled, I laughed all the way through I Feel Bad About My Neck!

Bedtime reading.
