Welcome to Litsy!

Started a book about a young chef.

Wow, Patricia Lockwood really comes at you HARD with her sentences. The majority of this takes place when she and her husband go through financial difficulties and return to live with her parents. There are gobs of tangents about her childhood, mostly centering her parents and specific brand of religion. I love her writing but often became disoriented by her gems she sprinkles throughout. Hilarity but also poignancy in one slap of the pen. ⬇️

Am kind of low key obsessed with these vintage mass market paperbacks.

Anyone who gets me as a Litsy Swap this season - I have a lot of classics on my wishlist, feel free to get me a really cool used vintage edition 😂

I hadn‘t read any of Hatmaker‘s previous books. I found this to be a good memoir of a woman going through a sad divorce, reestablishing her independence and exploring her codependency tendencies. Her best work is her most vulnerable; her worst is when she flippantly brushes over her luxurious vacations given to her by her friends. It‘s a good book, lots to like, mild annoyance (or jealousy) for me.

#ARichLife Day 28: Lots of #Bread paired with Saramago‘s novel as I was on my way to Lisbon last year. Posting in advance as I will be traveling in two days‘ time.

“For all of us who lived in Paris; we will never forget it because Paris is a moveable feast.”

Just starting this.

Listening to this audiobook was addicting. I kept doing tasks and going on walks so I could keep listening. I knew some of her story from her work in TV/film but much of the book was new, heartbreaking, and inspiring. We are so lucky to have her fearlessly tell her story.

Glad she told her story.

I love finding autographed memoirs at thrift stores, especially when they‘re signed to me! 😉 I‘m also a M*A*S*H fan & even visited the actual set for a press party way back when.
Mike a.k.a “B.J. Hunnicutt” shared wonderful stories about the many cast members who became close friends. It also warmed my heart to learn that Mike has been a fierce activist for human rights, social justice & righting the many wrongs he‘s seen across the globe.🙌🏻💙
