Mehso-so

Sam hung out on the couch with me as I finished my pick for #featuresamusician prompt for #booked2019

This was just ok for me. Nothing Cynthia revealed was anything really new or nothing I couldn‘t have guessed at. I could believe John was a jerk at times, and everything got worse when he was with Yoko. Something I‘ve seen in a number of books.

I also felt like the ending was quite abrupt with Cynthia‘s declaration. She had some blame in it all

Cinfhen Sort of sad to tarnish the man. I don‘t enjoy memoirs that seem to color a person no longer alive and able to defend themselves. 😖 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Good review for a so-so book. One more ✔️ prompt done! 6y

Finally picked up John again (tried reading it in the fall but had too many things to read and had to give it up). I like pictures but this has to be a pet peeve of mine - hate when there are pages of pictures and the text hangs mid-sentence.

TrishB I have to finish off the sentence, then go back and look at pics! 6y
TheDaysGoBy @TrishB Yeah I do the same 6y

This was my library haul for the day. I may be turning 30 in a month, but yes I‘m starting the How to Train Your Dragon series. Watched the second movie last night and I‘m so in love with the series that I was compelled to read the books. And I also grabbed Cynthia Lennon‘s book about John. #noshamehere #innerchildhappy

CSeydel The How to Train Your Dragon book series are phenomenal, but be prepared - the movie bears no relation to the book whatsoever. 7y
TheDaysGoBy @CSeydel Yeah I kinda heard that. It‘ll be interesting to see the differences 7y

This was written by John' wife Cynthia (Julian's mother). This is a lovely and honest read of John before his foray into Yoko land.

Whoa. I'm not sure how prepared I was for such an intimate and honest book from the ex-wife of a beloved Beatle. I was moved and invested from the very beginning. Very well executed. Great read
