My plan involved cleaning up my deck on my day off. This seemed like a better idea. Everyone needs a little sanity break once in a while.

These short essays make a quick read. Lamott is in form, with funny and/or insightful lines on every page. #labordayreads #readingresolutions @Jess7
“You‘ve got to wonder what Jesus was like at seventeen. They don‘t even talk about it in the Bible, he was apparently so awful.” 🤣 Annie Lamott always makes me laugh!
And now for something completely different. With The Brothers Karamazov still in progress (past the 50% mark!) and a thriller as my current audio, I‘ve decided to finally get on to reading this one.

I really wanted to like this one since I know so many who love and laud her work. This was my first Lamott and I realize I probably picked a poor first read. The essays are honest, I'll give them that, but ranting ramblings mostly regarding her hatred of Bush that don't come together as a cohesive piece. I will try her again but this was a 👎for me.

Anne Lamott has been on my tbr list since forever. Not sure why I waited so long. She's funny, refreshingly liberal and leaves a trail of witty gems to live by. I love her idea to start a revolution for "Kindness, Greenness and Libraries" (I'm in!) and how she rallied to prevent the closure of the John Steinbeck & other libraries in Salinas, CA. Anxious to read her guide for writers next-Bird by Bird. #readharder #collectionofstories
I noticed a leaning towards authors with A to start their names.🤔

Library Sale Haul from a couple of weekends ago. DVDs and audio book too! I listened to half of a friends' audio version of Bossypants but never finished the other half. Now I can!
