Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books | 
I‘m at the beginning of the book,but Reading Jackie will appeal to people who are book lovers & fans of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.I like how it‘s focused not on her fashion nor the men whom she married,but on who Jackie was as a women. A women who loved of words 🤍
“This book celebrates the accomplishments of a woman whose editorial talents have never been sung .” -#WilliamKuhn #ReadingJackie
I have never heard Wide Sargasso Sea and have not read any of these. But if they were Jackie O‘s favorites, I may need to check them out!
pickInsightful bio on Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who loved books & was an editor for the last part of her life. Although her name obviously got her foot in the publishing world‘s doors, she took her job seriously. Enjoyed reading about this aspect of Jackie. She favored editing coffee-table type of books, but a few others (pictured here) I‘ve read. A list of her editing projects is in the back. 👍 if you like books about books and bios.
In 1976, after being widowed twice, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis began her career as an editor for publishing businesses; Viking, then Doubleday. Though she loved being private, looking at all the books she helped write and their authors, you can get a sense of who she was.
Jackie was the editor for this bio on Tsar Nicholas II — I own/read this one, and always have thought the cover photo is so haunting.
Struggling with Hawksmoor; taking a break from it to start this recent used-book find. Jackie was smart and well-read all her life, and was an editor for the last 20 years or so of her life. As First Lady she began the work of founding a White House Library. A lot of people (such as Onassis, but not the also-bookish John F Kennedy) felt she read too much. I think a lot of us Littens can identify with Jackie except for the wealth and fame 🙂.
1. Average 2-3 per month 📚
2. Both
3. A light, breezy selection...usually on the shorter side (for momentum). OR settle in with a re-read of a favorite!
4. Goal: 25 Currently at: 31! 🙌🏼
5. Never say never, but rarely straight science fiction.
6. Whatever is at hand.
7. A lot. 🙂
8. A whole lot more. 😬😜
9. I've gone to more New Kids on the Block shows as an adult than I did as a kid! What can I say?! 🤷🏻♀️😜🎶
I don't have a great reading spot where I live but I have a Pinterest board full of inspiration for someday! This one is Jackie Kennedy Onassis' library in New York. #booksandnooks #BacktoReading (Also the book I tagged is an interesting read.) @Tiffy_Reads
