Welcome to Litsy!

A book I had hanging around the house and found in Libby so I could get it read. This is fine. Some funny bits, some awkward bits. The essays tend to ramble a lot in the middle. Crosley also does the narration which is so slow it doesn‘t sound like normal speech until about 1.5x speed.

My litsy stopped working for the last few days, so this is the first post in a dump. I love crosley‘s essays and this #bookofessays was charming. #halfbloodbingo

Not quite as good as her most recent collection, these essays from Sloane Crosley are still fun, funny and relatable. She reads the audiobook herself, which really worked for me.

Not as funny as I was hoping it would be, but a good quick audiobook to listen to during the read-athon.

So I finished this #audiobook today, while doing various errands and household chores. It was fine for mindless background noise but honestly Sloane Crosley was a bit too snarky for my taste. She seemed to be trying too hard to be witty and relevant. I prefer listening to Chelsea Handler do her shtick. This collection was just a meh for me. #nonfictionnovember

So I dragged my lazy 🍑to the gym this morning!!! And listened to the very funny Sloane Crosley and a great playlist that my son made for me 💙💜💛

While not as laugh out loud funny as I WAS TOLD THERE'D BE CAKE, I love Sloane's perspective on life. Definitely worth a read (or listen, she reads her own work).

A new work day, a new audiobook. I adore Sloane Crowley. I WAS TOLD THERE'D BE CAKE is one of my all-time favorite essay collections so I'm eager to try this one. She reads her own books, which is a special treat. I still have yet to read THE CLASP, I've been saving it for the perfect reading day, but I think I just need to dig in.

Should I keep any of these? Give me a good reason, or they are going to BookOff tomorrow!

What to read? What to read? What to re-read? Some witty humor perhaps
