Welcome to Litsy!

The full cast audiobook includes sound effects and music. Wonderful!

This audiobook was very entertaining! I quite enjoyed it! Quite funny!! They chose the right celebrities for the right stories!!

I wanted to love this, but most of it was just ok. The last selection, though, had far more depth than the rest of the collection. #nonfictionNovember

I really enjoyed this collection of short essays read by various celebrities. I‘d caution that this book may not be for everyone. As a woman in my mid 60s I did find most of it relatable,but realize others may not. The audiobook is definitely the way to experience it best if you‘re going to give it a try.

Library picks. 🎧📚

The hair salon feels like a very appropriate venue for this collection 😛

On the lower end of the pick spectrum. I mostly liked her stories, but the poetry was a little flat. The essay about her dog was touching, and I smiled at the story of her son‘s hamster.

I found this on the library‘s Cloud Library and decided to read it because people are always saying, “60! You don‘t look 60” to me, and I just want to roll my eyes. Of course I do, and I don‘t have a problem with that. I hope this is good.

Boring

#CurrentlyListening to this collection of short, pithy essays read by a cast of amazing celebrity performers.

Audio is definitely the way to go with this collection. Nevins‘ reflective essays on aging are inconsistent, but I think the book was well worth the listen (the star-studded cast of narrators includes Martha Stewart, Glen Close, Whoopi‘s Goldberg, RuPaul, and more than 20 more!)

These are the reflections of a Jewish woman who grew up poor and made it big as a documentarian. She became rich. It‘s not going to be for everyone. But I liked it.

Heard her interviewed on NPR & read the book. Short essays, some good, many unexceptional. Her brand of aging centers around plastic surgery & Upper West Side sensibilities. So, will not speak to many women. Maybe that's the point? But aging is universal, isn't it?

Treating myself to the audio version of this one in honor of my 31st birthday tomorrow. I was pleasantly surprised to see this all-star cast list! I can't wait to hear from ALL of these amazing voices 😱😍👏🏼🤗
