Welcome to Litsy!

And in honor of Father's Day, Mr. Atticus Finch.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5 ⭐️s

This book is light and fun and offers some really hilarious anecdotes about what it's like traveling with kids. Wish there were more of those particular stories tbh, but it seems like Booth spent a lot of time away from his kids while writing this book. Maybe his wife ought to do a partner memoir of sorts? That'd be interesting.

Most of the cover has #warmcolors, anyway. My dog jumped on the couch as I took the picture, so I included him.

Listening to Michael Booth talk about massaging Japanese cattle and feeding them beer. What could be more entertaining? 🍺🐂🇯🇵

However, in contrast with the narrator of Rich People Problems (see below), this #audiobook narrator cannot pronounce Japanese correctly to save his life. As a Japanese speaker, this is incredibly annoying and confusing.

Major problem of mine: I have way too many books going at once. Here's 4 of my current 14. I'm so moody that something has to fit my specific mood. #nowreading

I liked this book, however it wasn't so much a family's journey through Japan as it was his own. I found in a lot of instances he went into way too much detail about the meal, making it hard to imagine and boring at times. Also I wouldn't have minded some pictures of the food that he ate to help figure out all the terms I didn't know regarding Japanese cooking.

I've seen mixed reactions but plan to give this a try. I have high hopes (and plans for noodles!).

It's 5 o'clock somewhere--here actually & I'm more than ready to get this #LitsyPartyOfOne started.🎉I had avocado toast for breakfast & veggie pad Thai at an early lunch meeting, so I'm just having pupus for dinner-poke (raw fish salad), tortilla chips & salsa & white wine. I like the crunch of the chips with my fish.😋Returned a library book today & this book jumped into my hand. It looks like fun although it's not on deck for tonight's reading.

Well, that sounds like the most complicated way to eat noodles ever...

Apparently my life is two mockeries of a sham wrapped up in a disgraceful fallacy, as, alas, I have no sharkskin grater of any variety

I never would have thought of wasabi rustlers, but I guess stranger things have happened...

I had no sushi or ramen so Doritos will have to do. #foodiebooks

I lived in Japan for four years so this is totally up my alley. Picked up at the Tor booth. #nonfiction #literaryloot #books

Too many other books, not enough time!

#somethingforsept day 6 #bookanddrink should've posted this yesterday 😞 enjoying the book so far am about 12% through it

I went looking for something lighter to take breaks with while I work through City of Mirrors and this seemed like the ticket. I'm not really connecting 50 pages in but the title is clever so I'm hoping to encounter that tone eventually.
