After bailing on The Language of Food I'm giving this #inspiredbylitsy title a try. I've listened to the author's Borden Chronicles series and loved it. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention @Daisey !

Daisey Hope you enjoy; I haven‘t had much chance to read any more this week. I‘m curious about the audio but specifically got a print copy for the comics pages. Curious to hear what you think. 5y

Sace @Daisey I do hate that I'll miss the comics pages. I wonder how they will be in an audiobook as well. I'm loving the story so far. 5y

Sace @Daisey I just got to the comic section and it's really cool! There's a full cast and it's like listening to an old radio program. I hate that I'm missing the art, but the audiobook is doing a great job of distinguishing the two stories. 5y

Skip Beat!, Volume 1 | Yoshiki Nakamura

pick

#inspiredbylitsy (since I've decided I don't like the negative vibe I get for myself when I say #blameitonlitsy) and @xicanti.

For me this first volume is a pick on the so-so end of the spectrum, but sometimes the first volume of a #manga can be that way. I love the determination of the main character and I'm already in love with the president of the agency. I had several laugh-out-loud moments. I'll definitely read the next two volumes.

xicanti Lory is fabulous! I think he might be the most flamboyant character in all of fiction. I wasn‘t initially hooked by this first volume, either, but the next two pulled me in. Nakamura‘s layered approach pays off in a big way as everything rolls along, too. 5y

Sace @xicanti I loved him in the second volume too. I think I'm getting used to the writing maybe? I've been reading more straightfoward manga with fewer asides and thoughts so sometimes I'm having trouble following who is saying/thinking what. Does that make sense? 5y

xicanti @Sace definitely. This last reread really hammered home for me that SKIP BEAT! is a hard manga. Nakamura often juggles three or four narrative streams at once, between the dialogue, the characters‘ surface thoughts, and their deeper observations. It takes a bit to get used to. 5y

Sace @xicanti that makes me feel better. I might give it more that 3 volumes. 5y

This is exactly why I cannot be trusted to go to the mall alone when boyfriend is sick in bed. I went for work shoes. I got them, but I also went to Coles and bought an entire trilogy. #notevensorry #idonthaveaproblem #youhaveaproblem #inspiredbylitsy @VanChocStrawberry this is your fault! Lol 😘(thank you)

SharonGoforth 👍👍 7y

VanChocStrawberry I'll happily take the blame! 😍😍 7y

Behold the Dreamers | Imbolo Mbue

I was so excited to post my lunch, but the picture doesn't look nearly as appetizing as it really was! This was inspired by the famous avocado toast of @DebinHawaii ! I'm not a fan of avocado slices, so I decided to use some homemade guacamole. And my sriracha sauce did not squirt in an appetizing fashion. Anyway...thanks @DebinHawaii for the inspiration! #inspiredbyLitsy #blameitonlitsy

DebinHawaii It looks delicious! Glad you enjoyed it! 😋🍴 8y
