Welcome to Litsy!

Anyone else feel like they have so much time to read today? Daylight savings is good for something, I guess. 😂

My #24B42019 was a bit of a dud.Between a project that took hold of me, social obligations popping up,& a book sale , across all those days I got about 9 hours in. Finished Ms. Obama‘s book, & the magical The Faces in the Crowd. Thanks to @Andrew65 & @TheReadingMermaid for hosting, maybe in 2019 I will master the #readathon 😂 & proof to @Cinfhen that not only has Udall‘s book been on my TBR since publication, it‘s signed! 😂

#MusicalNewYear I saw Book of Mormon for the first time on my recent trip to London. It was hilarious‼️‼️‼️
I read the tagged book years ago and it had the same outrageous humor and biting writing as the musical. Sooo funny. It‘s a story about contemporary polygamy. Poor Golden Richards, his 4 wives and 28 children are driving him nuts...he‘s having a mother load of a midlife crisis & if he can‘t pull it together he‘s going to lose everything.

Here's a NYT review for my under the radar book.

I loved this story but dont know another soul who has read it. #24in48 @24in48

Good read. Great characterization and interesting story. It's literature so it's very slice of life. We watch as the lonely polygamist makes his way through life the best way he can.

This book was just the right mix of funny and melancholy. I never thought a polygamist could be so sympathetic. (Cat photobomb pic in honor of #nationalcatday)

Every day of the week I have to deal with such a lineup of knuckleheads you wouldn't believe, so you'll have to forgive me for presuming the worst, which is the only way to manage things around here.

Starting this tonight in my tent. I hope it's good since I weirdly brought only one book.

#BLUEDABADE @Liberty It is blue...now to finish it...

This book is a about a man named Golden, his 4 wives, and their 27 children. It reads as if you are looking at snapshots of people who belong to a lifestyle you've heard of, maybe judged a little, but never really knew much about. These snapshots capture funny moments, lonely moments, a family in crisis, and before you know it, they've woven themselves together to deliver a punch to the gut you never saw coming. Great book.

Only a 1/4th into it, but its pretty good so far. I wanna judge the husband, Golden, but I can't, cause he just didn't have the best start in life. How do you parcel out your time outside of work between your 4 wives and 27 children? There's a chapter where one of the kids speaks to him in robot because he doesn't have the heart to tell him he needs his dad and not just when he's in trouble. His dad just tells him to stop being weird and leaves.

#SpringFlingReading Here are 3 books I don't think I've mentioned before which I found totally endearing and REALLY #funny
Tina Fey is hilarious and so universally appealing, the other two are very quirky reads. Trust me, even though you shouldn't be rooting for a guy with 4 wives, 28 kids and a mistress you will....and The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man is a bit out there, but Ruddy is lovable and he has a dog he'll do anything for❤️ #takeachance

Enjoying this beautiful morning with my tiny human, continuing this while she plays in her playhouse. 💕💕

Starting this today. Picked up a bit of a cold from my lovely coworkers *note heavy sarcasm* so I'll be snuggling with a blanket and some hot cocoa tonight and continuing this. Hoping not to pass it to my tiny human.

#libraryhaul. A couple for my challenges and a couple just for fun. ❤📚😊✔✔

#FunFridayPhoto My HC copy clocks in at 599 pages. It takes a wickedly talented writer to make me feel sympathetic towards a man with 4 wives and a buttload of children who is having an affair and lying to his wives about where he goes to work every day. But Brady Udall did. J'adore!

Wow, what an eye opening look into a world I've never really thought about. Very interesting read.
