Welcome to Litsy!

🎧📚 I LOVED this book! I melted into the pages! You can only imagine the life the author has led until you read this. The story he tells predates his birth and sheds so much light on the Star Trek world he was involved in!! It‘s his life. The good, the bad, the rude, the sad, the fun and the amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

From time in internment camps to political activism to his acting career, I enjoyed spending some time with and getting to know George Takei. He comes across as nice, generous, clever, and funny. I think he‘d be funny to hang out with. This book was published in 1994, so it‘s interesting to see what was left out. On it goes! #LMPBC

Great #bookmail day! My #LMPBC has arrived. I look forward to spending some time with George. @Shadowfat I can tell you have a cat! My one dog had her head inside the mailer after I removed the book, sniffing and licking. 😆 And @Soubhiville my Christmas box has arrived! I‘m super excited to see what‘s inside, but I‘ll be good and wait two more days. 😇 Thank you!

I'm so glad I finally read this! This autobiography is from the 90s, so it covers his childhood and career up to that point. Now to watch more Star Trek over break! It's on it's way to you @Hooked_on_books . @BookishBelle @Wife #lmpbc group B.

Not what I expected, but still an engaging read.

#MtTBRchallenge #StarTrek #ItsOkay2BTakei

I was trying to get a little extra reading time in, since I hadn't much opportunity all weekend, but my munchkins had other ideas regarding my book choice. Their choices were the ever popular "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?".

March stats and my non-bullet journal book log 😁

3 books read in March (YTD total - 8)
1 ebook, 2 print
All 3 books #MtTBRchallenge

2 novels (1 fantasy), 1 nonfiction (theology)

Started this month - To the Stars by George Takei
On deck - I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith #RtC

I'm trying to go back to reading one book at a time. I'm a bit burned out trying to juggle multiple reads.

An idealistic teenaged George Takei goes to a camp for young leaders in the 1950s, and is inspired by this verse to "change the world." Given current events, this verse struck me as poignant.

1. My current read, see tagged

Took this along with me yeaterday so that Uncle George could hold my hand during an unexpected, unplanned dental procedure. I grabbed it on the way out the door thinking it would be a lighthearted read, forgetting it starts with his childhood imprisonment during WWII. Oops. Still a good read, just not the laughs I needed that moment. I'm sure those will be plentiful in later chapters.

About to see George Takei!! No photos allowed. 📵

#RiotGrams. Day 3: Three word titles. I haven't read this yet but it seemed like a good to pick for today 📺🛰🚀
